Cohousing-L Mailing List: Construction Monitoring/Liaison: Wash. DC Needs Advice

[herbettel (herbettel]

The first Cohousing community IN Washington, DC, Takoma Village, is due to
break ground in July. During the 7-8 months of construction, our Design Team
needs a process to monitor and liaison with the contractor, developer and
architect et al. I checked the entire cohousing-L archives and found NO
message on this at all.
     Please reply with any advice, experience, resources and leads you may
have. We especially need input re. whether this function is best served by a
single paid professional, a pair of knowledgeable team members/volunteers,
or a 3-4 person subteam.  We know this can be treacherous and a tricky
balancing act.

Thank you,
