PALACE CONSTRUCTION

on time, but over budget. didn't factor in an HOA requirement for fencing guidelines

See above.

A lawsuit was won by our condo association in relation to construction defects with outdoor stairways and walkways used to get to 2nd and 3rd floor units. Because the walkways had not originally been sealed correctly water was able to seep through and was causing damage to stucco and supporting wood structure that the walkways were build upon. The original estimate was for 3- 4 months and the project began in July of 2006. The project is now about to begin its third year and is still not complete. Palace seems to have taken complete advantage of our HOA failing to write penalties for missing project deadlines into the contract and seem to work whenever it is convenient for them. We've been given all kinds of excuses about weather delays and such but in the end poor management and lack of priority seems to be the issue. We are now into 90 degree temperatures in July and once again because of poor planning we have no air conditioners because we're waiting for the concrete pad that the AC units sit on to properly cure. As if this cement work couldn't have been done during a cooler month. In two years the buildings could have been completely rebuilt by a competent construction company. Definitely avoid Palace Construction.
