BUDGET 2024 for repairs and maintance to 5 triangles: 24,000 EUROS! Removing the triangles would cost a fraction of this and avoid other expenses in the future! While greatly improving the views of many neighbours. Streamlining the arcitechtural features of our community, particularly the removal of unnecessary elements like triangles and cupolas, can lead to substantial cost savings and boost property values.
Understanding the Cost of Excess Features
Architectural details such as triangles and cupolas come with unexpected costs. For instance. Our seaside community faces considerable maintenance burdens due to these features. With the ocean's salty air, painted surfaces require constant upkeep. Common issues like cracked or peeling paint not only demand repair but also inflate budgets over time.
This regular maintenance is very costly. In many cases, these features obstruct ocean views, which is a big decrease in value of the investment of certain properties.
The Problem with Triangles and Cupolas
While triangles and cupolas can enhance artistic appeal, they pose maintenance challenges. Their unique shapes are prone to collecting dirt, dust, and mold, diminishing their appearance.
For many residents, these structures block views and serve as a constant reminder of unnecessary complications.
Moreover, the maintenance costs detract from other maintenance and security needs
Proposed Solutions: Engaging a Professional Architect
This initiative requires a community vote, a building permit, and a working committee or follow up from the administrator. Partnering with an architect is crucial for effective changes, ensuring proper guidance, permit acquisition, and adherence to local regulations while minimizing delays.
The architect will evaluate removable features that won't affect the building's structure, propose cost-effective materials and modern designs, and suggest retrofitting with flat roofs to save on annual maintenance costs.
Funding the Venture: Community Contributions
Removing features like cupolas can increase property values, particularly for residents gaining sea views.
We could try to find for a group of volunteers who will benefit from removing the triangles, if some of them would agree to finance a few hundred euros the initial project.
Improving the sea view could mean an significant increase in the value of their property and an increase in the nightly rental rate, so realistically I would think some investors would agree to the a small initial investment to start this project.
