Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let all of you know that Lavani and I successfully printed and submitted the project on Monday morning. For those of you who want to see the what the final documentation looked like, you can access it on the group's Vula Tab where I created a folder for it - it has the write up and the financials. Thanks for all the hard work everyone, we made it! Now let's hope for a good mark lol =) See you tomorrow to put together the presentation.

Meeting with Jonathan Marks and our Draft
So as was planned, the group met with Jonathan today (09/10/2012) and he quickly scanned through our draft. The feedback was very positive! We didn't leave anything out, only one or two things need to be polished or clarified further in our write-up. Well done everyone for going beyond his expectations! The end is in sight :) Can't wait to print and hold the final product!

Meeting with Jonathan Marks on 9th October
Hello again everyone
Just to let you all know, after i have received all your sections and compiled them into a comprehensive draft form, i am going to take it to Jonathan Marks who has a greed to have a meeting with us from 1300-1430 on the 9th October. If you would like to come, that would be good as i think this would be very helpful to be able to discus each of our sections.
Hope everyone is on track with their sections. At this stage we all need to make sure Lavani has all the info that she needs, so Lavani please just contact the respective people who you still need info from.
See you all tomorrow x

Meeting on 18th September
Good meting today guys
Our architectural drawings are looking amazing, so brilliant. Had a good meeting with Prof Bowen, going back tomorrow to clarify the last couple of points.
To clarify one point i made last time about the viability and anything else that we do. What they have uploaded on to vula (especially the viability example) is a minimum and we should do more than that if we want to kind of high marks that im sure we all want:)
Will keep you all posted about the next group meeting until anyone else wants to call one. :)

Meeting with Jonathon Marks on 13th September
Good news everyone!
Rumbi and i went to go and speak to Jonathon Marks about the project and he seems very relaxed about the entire thing. He said that he is really looking for a "Project Business Plan".
This is fantastic news for us and the rest of the class as the pressure has been taken off and we can now get creative and explore the project.
Here are the answers to some of our questions:
Feasibility/ Lavani: He said dont think about the deficit that the Dutch Housing Institute has. He said that as long as Communicare is confident that they can get a loan from them (which they are as they told us in the first meeting with them) then take it as face value. he said dont read too much into it. Also as you may have seen, on vula, Paul Bowen has uploaded a sample viability that is very simple. Jonathon said that all we need to do it re-create that so dont stress too much.
Value Management: Paul Bowen is out of the county at the moment and this is his eection, but he said that he will eamil Paul and find out exactly what he is looking for.
GANTT Chart: as you guys know, this is my section and he explained it perfectly so i know what to do.:)
Marketing/ Greg /Rumbi: For this section he said that we can "stretch the truth a bit" and make a marketing plan that will fit in with the project, even if it means marketing to social housing candidates. I will re-create a brochure that communicare did and come up with a website design as Jonathon said that that would be sufficient.
Current Value of Property: he said that a simple email to communicare to find out what they have it recorded as on their books is sufficient. He said that the difference between market value and accounting value is not too important, unless it is obvious that the two diverge drastically (e.g. if communicare bought the site 20years ago for R500 000and it is obviously worth more today, but nothing too in depth).
Rumbi can co-oberate any of this info so i think that we are safe with everything that he said:)
felling much better about the project agin, i think we should have a group meeting early next week to discuss everything further.
Also, Jonathon said that it will be possible for us to make an appointment with him and Paul to discuss the project, hand in a sort of draft to find out how well we are doing and if we are on the right track. Tjis is fantastic news to ensure that we get a good mark:)
I hope you are all as excited about this again as i am. When is everyone free for another meeting? Maybe after class on tuesday?
