The Clubhouse Remodel budget was $650,000. The actual cost of completion was $595,000, or $55,000 under the original budget. Following the remodel, the then-current Board brought forward projects that needed to be completed while construction was underway so they did not continue to disrupt the resident use of the Clubhouse. During this process, the additional add- on items totaling $344,000 were accomplished. The majority of that money was spent on expanding the Fitness Room and new equipment, Lounge and Annex acoustics, Annex cabinetry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, audio visual for Fitness Room, Lounge and Auditorium and Virtual signs. The amount over the original budget was $289,000. There were also improvements made in 2013, 2014 and 2015 prior to the Clubhouse remodel. The major improvements were the Auditorium ceiling and AV System, Atrium glass repair, creation of a Maintenance Office and automating the front Clubhouse doors. This totaled $309,000. When you combine all three of these projects, that is where you get the estimated $1.2 million expense.
