Milagro,
This is the message sent that did not go through your other email.
Would be great to know what’s going on with the build.

Dear Marion and Milagro,

We are following up on our previous communications, particularly the email
sent on February 23, 2025 which outlined *several critical project-related
questions* in bullet points. Unfortunately, these questions remain
unanswered over four months later, despite our repeated attempts to seek
clarity.

Additionally, we have experienced ongoing challenges with communication
throughout the project:

*• **Marion:* You have been unresponsive to our emails and have refused to
address direct project-related questions. This has made it increasingly
difficult for us to stay informed and make necessary decisions.

*• **Milagro:* As the architect, your responsibilities extend beyond
design, including onsite building oversight and ensuring the appropriate
permits are acquired for the project. However, we have not received any
documentation or updates regarding these aspects of your role. At our last
in-person meeting, you again removed yourself from the discussion entirely
by directing me to Marion, who, as you are aware, remains unresponsive.

Given these responsibilities, we formally request that copies of all
building, construction, and project documents, records, and permits be
shared with us immediately. As stakeholders in this project, we must have
access to this information to ensure compliance and progress.

*Marion and Milagro:* This lack of communication is severely impacting the
project and our ability to move forward effectively. *Please acknowledge
receipt of this email immediately and review our February 23 email and
provide detailed responses to each point by Thursday, March 13, 2025*. If
there are any obstacles preventing you from addressing these questions, we
expect transparency and a clear path forward.

We look forward to your prompt response.

Best,

Nigel

Hello Nigel,

I hope this email finds you well.

We had a fruitful site meeting in person and ALL your requests have been
worked on or awaiting already purchased material that needed importation
from out of Costa Rica.

1. The small wall behind guests bedrooms bed eliminated and floor fixed in
its previous position
2. Shower stone shelves removed and awaiting black volcanic rock
3. Pool trim has been ordered to the format you requested and will be
installed upon arrival
4. Outdoor shower was fitted into the wall
5. Bodega doors where installed with vertical pistons system to provide
shade to work under
6. All roof tiles installed by “La Cantera” have been removed to your
request and new roof has been ordered in its place.

The information presented by you regarding the pool finish is simply not
true. We DID NOT “dilute” or mixed the pool finish material with any other
substance in order to gain more m2 per bag and therefore compromised the
durability and looks of the finish material.

There are several ways to apply the same finish without compromising its
warranty and durability.

The Gavión wall doesn’t need another layer on top. You can cut back some
soil to alleviate if you wish. Its location is exactly where we planned  it
to be. Any further back would have needed a taller wall and reduce the
building platform of the upper lot. Let’s not forget this is a Guest house
by your definition and was built all the way to the property line.

Plastic installation under the concrete slab has its advantages but we
don’t use it for several reasons:
1. Micro plastic release to water aquifer in a development that uses its
own water sources can become a long term health hazard.
2. The seismic movements over time can affect the integrity of the building
as the plastic sheet prevents the slab from adhesive with the sub soil
3. Any future water leak in the slab will be trapped and won’t dry
downwards creating mold and other issues.

In your mail you claim construction plans and other information have not
been provided yet you are shared on a google drive from the beginning of
the construction process where all the legal documentation, plans,
architectural and structural details are being constantly updated for your
review and for legal purpose: 

In previous email you claim doubts regarding the company’s ability to
install roof although your previous roof was the ONLY detail installed by a
sub constructor while the rest of the house and its installations where
done in house!

Last week David Rabinov has personally warned Milagro from the consequences
of your up and coming legal actions against the building company yet we are
on site in good faith pushing to finish the project and hope you will keep
the funds flow as agreed in our construction agreement.

A lawyer on your and Rachele behalf was wandering municipality corridors
inquiring about construction permits of the house next to yours. This is
also an act of bad faith has the neighboring house has nothing with you nor
Rachele.

Please send a proof of payment as soon as possible.

Dear Marion,

We have yet to receive a response to the email sent on February 12, 2025,
despite most of the issues and questions having been raised as early as
October and November 2024. The continued lack of communication has resulted
in decisions being made without our approval, which is entirely
unacceptable.

Additionally, the building and construction plans and permits that were
previously offered have not been provided. There has been little to no
communication, no updates, and no submissions for owner approval.

Further complicating matters, we find ourselves in an impossible situation
where, after any discussions; whether by phone, email, or meetings in
person, we are directed by milagro to discuss with you, or you to discuss
with Milagro, and after attempting to do so we are largely met with
silence. This not only creates unnecessary duplication of effort on our end
but also results in neither party providing the required information,
documentation, or resolution to outstanding issues. This does not work as
we don't know who is in charge of this project. As I contracted you to
build this house I ultimately expect you to be responsible and respond. The
lack of clear accountability is causing significant frustration and stress
while further derailing the project as decisions continue to be made
without our input and have continued to result in unacceptable deviations
from the agreed upon plans.

We require a full response addressing all points in our last email by
February 23rd. Please also clarify how communication and accountability
will be handled going forward to prevent further delays and mismanagement.

Please confirm receipt of this email and provide a timeline for the
requested documents and information. This matter must be resolved without
further delay.

Thanks,

Nigel

*Marion*,

I need to know more about the *standing seam roof system* you are proposing
in order to consider this option.

To be fully transparent, I do have concerns allowing for an in-house built
roof, stemming from the lack of attention given to the first roof installed
on the home and lack of meaningful communication in these months following.
But we share a desire for an aesthetically pleasing roof.

For your proposed standing seam roof:
Who is going to install the roof?
What is the warranty that comes with this roofing system?
Have you supervised the installation of a roof like this before?
When will this roof get installed?
What type of standing seam roof are you installing? (overlap, single lock,
double lock, snap lock…) the image you sent looks like overlap or double
lock.
How wide are the panels?
What clip system are you using?
What fasteners are you using? Iron, galvanized, nails screws?
I also need to understand the details, materials and method of how this
roof is going to be installed.
These details should be in some form of drawing.
Attached are three examples of the type of details/drawings I need to see.
I found these examples online (these examples are not specific to the roof
you are building but examples of other types of roofs)

*Example 1 Raised seam roof on Rigid insulation*

*Example 2 Flashing Detail for Roof to Facia board (this does not show
rigid insulation)*
[image: A detailed drawing of metal roofing Description automatically
generated.jpeg]

*Example 3 Example detail of Eave Flashing (this does not show rigid
insulation)*
<Architectural Standing Seam - Local - Install Guide - 2-13-23.png>

It is important that I am provided with a section detail showing the
ceiling/roof.
This detail should show the roof, insulation (Polyiso board? What thickness
and R value?), structure, ceiling, etc.
Also need details for flashing, facia and gutter.
I will not be able to approve unless these details and drawings are
provided. I have asked for these detail multiple times for each roof that
has been proposed thus far and have not received anything.
I am eager to get a roof approved, so that it may be ordered and installed,
so please send all details at your earliest convenience.

With regard to the switch plates, we would like black *metal* switch plates
to match other approved fixtures and finishes.

With regard to the pool finish, the current finish is not what we were
shown.
This pool requires 60 bags of the pebble material, and troweled 10x as much
as a other finishes. The plaster needs to be compressed to give an even
pebble exposure and is one of the hardest finishes to apply.
The pebble finish should last 25-years, a plaster finish has only a 10-year
average life span.
The expert I have spoken with said the finish has not been applied properly
and will not perform as intended.
This issue is beyond cosmetic. Acid washing the existing finish will not
solve the problem.

<PHOTO-2024-05-02-11-39-14 2.jpeg>

<IMG_4904 4.jpeg>

A higher *gaviones*/retaining wall is an absolute necessity at this point,
unfortunately the position of the wall is an upsetting deviation from the
original approved plan. I believe two more tiers are required.

With regard to *structural concerns*, I am still waiting for communication
and supporting documents to understand:
·       the groundwater and roof water drainage systems that have been
installed.
·       placement, installation and building plans of French drains
(drawing)
·       the diameter, material and a plan of the drains installed to direct
the water from the roof to the trench between the properties.
Has the slab foundation been waterproofed? Is the slab poured on a plastic
sheet and are the edges waterproofed?
What is the vapor barrier put between the Light Gauge Steel bottom plate
and the concrete slab? (polyethylene sheet?)

I am now back in Toronto reviewing and updating the word document list of
concerns I shared with you and Milagro via email in early November 2024. I
expect to have the updated document to you by the end of this week, I have
already outlined my concerns with Milagro at our in-person meeting and am
ready to receive your responses. As many items were on the November 2024
document, and remain unaddressed you can use that document as a starting
point.

Thank you,
Nigel

We have purchased a machine that fabricates this type of roof panels.
We believe this roof will look much better on your house while the sandwich
panel will let the house down and give it a cheep look as its mostly used
here for cheap hotels and cooling rooms
If you’re concerned about insulation, we can apply Polyiso board between
the galvanized zinc and the finish roof panels just as you have inside your
walls.

Let us know how you wish to precede.

Hello Nigel,

I’m happy to hear you had a productive meeting with milagro. The panel
sándwich roof looks very industrial but if this is what you want, we can go
ahead and order.

Milagro also mentioned you wish to swap the brass plates to black plastic?

The pool finish can be applied in a more exposed form but in that case the
walls are very rough and can scratch skin very easily specially after
spending time in the water.
We can empty the pool and wash the grout with acid to achieve this effect
if you wish.

The Gaviones wall was built by a subcontractor that works all over the
country.

Milagro mentioned you had concerns regarding the integrity of the wall and
same for several other structural parts of the house such foundation.
Please feel free to share your concerns here in writing and I’m happy to
put your mind at ease.

Anything else you wish to request as we’re approaching final descend?

Marion,
I had a great meeting with Milagro yesterday. Milago informed me that the
roof has been ordered. Can you share with me the roof in more detail? My
concern is the pictures  that Milagro shared with me are in fact not the
roof I want. The pictures sent were of a standing seem roof without rigid
foam insulation. If you can take the time to confirm the roof.
Below is a company in Costarica that seems to supply the roof I am
referring to.
Panel Sandwich Group <https://panelsandwich.cr/>

<https://panelsandwich.cr/> <https://panelsandwich.cr/>

Please let me know the details of the roof.

Milagro,

Great to hear from you.
Thanks, looking forward to the updates, and responses to some of my
concerns.

Please keep the questions flowing.
Pictures of the new work would be great too. Is there someone I can use to
take pictures and send them to me?
Are you in Costa Rica or are you managing this from elsewhere?
I would like to be involved in all decisions.

Marions email is being returned as “Message not Delivered” has he changed
his email?

Answers to the 2 questions bellow

1- Following some changes please confirm if you wish to have the retaining
wall marked in green as it shows the render with stone or if you prefer it
in the same colour as the walls in the pool.

The stone works if it is feasible.
Is the stone added to the wall, or its the wall removed and a new stone
wall built on it?
What will this do to the width of the stair case if the stone is added to
the existing stair rail/wall? My concern is this could end up very thick.
How far will the stone extend beneath the soil line? My concern is that as
the soil erodes the bottom of the stone will be exposed.

This reminds me that the rises/faces of the stairs were not finished when I
was there in December, how are these to be finished (with the same material
as the run, travertine)?
Will the stairs get a bullnose detail?

2- please confirm if you wish to cover the black beam in the ceiling at the
terrace, and the column if you wish a metal ring or wooden ring covering
all the way up.

I feel the black beam is not offensive, goes with the black elsewhere.
Would be great to finish the top of the post with the collar, no need to
cover the steel beam unless you think it is necessary.
It could be a piece of simple crown moulding like drawn on the picture(the
grey shape with the lines is a section), or a double step detail like the
purple, black and brown image.
If these are not possible, what you drew is fine too.

Milagro,
I was just looking at your drawings for the windows in the living area.
I noticed the horizontal mullions do not line up from the pool side to the ends of the building?
Am I seeing this correctly?
I hope we are not to far along in the process to do something about this?
It would be great if all the mullions lined up.
Thanks
Nigel
Hope this makes sense

*Milagro,*
Here is a large email for discussion.
Lets get together tomorrow at 7pm prague time, noon Costa Rica.
Looking forward to a chat.
Thanks
Jessica and Nigel

*CASA PLAN DE VIDA (This is the name we are giving the house)*

*Doors*
What is planned for main door?
Bedroom Doors?
Bathroom and closet doors/
Is there any trim?

*Exterior*
Pool surround, Is the detail in the new plans I have still the same, can we
see a picture of stone samples?
Is the teak in ceiling and posts finished, stained, natural…
Is there a picture of the exterior stone wall finishes?
What is the dark concrete a parging? What is it?
How is the bottom of the glass walls finishing to the interior/exterior
walls?
Where are the down spouts on the roofs?
Will there be a window in the downstairs powder bathroom? Can that exterior
wall have a shower with a nook for soap, shampoo and pegs for towels?
What are the rules around railings?

Can we get a side plan with the building and road? Surveyed?
I think the place is going to be great
What will the roof be? Can we walk on it to clean it?
Does the driveway have a finish?

Jessica and I are discussing the merits of sliding versus hinged doors, can
we get pictures of how marion likes to build this, so I can show Jessica
the pros and cons.
The detail of the base of the wooden teak posts? Can we get power here.
Is the exterior space between the Kitchen living room (front room and back
room) a dead space? Where does it drain?

Can the storage space be 3 large double doors? Tall.
I can see the space outside the storage is filled in with green, where do I
put a second or guest car/visitor car?
What are you thinking is the driving surface out there?
How wide is the area out there, it seems to be getting tight?
Can a car turn around?
From the construction photos that cut bank is getting very tall?
Again what is the finish on these back exterior walls?

Does this parking/turn around area still exist?
How does extension of guest wall affect the bathroom/room
Door  “10”  from the plans (Guest room) might need new placement with the
extended wall Marion mentioned

Can the High windows be awning opening windows, for venting, maybe not all
but a selection?

Stone staircase railing to Pool utilities could be a black steel railing,
like window frames.
Wood posts and Ceiling same finish/treatment?
Continue Pool surround like picture frame of pool box.
What is Railing detail outside guest bedroom- remove or make black steel?
Patio Doors, hinge vs sliding-Bottom Rail Detail (Rust)
Outdoor Fans, Placement, make Black

*Materials*
Stones, (the stuff from Marions quarry)
Exterior Parging(Color, Texture)
Concrete floors? Or is the tile running throughout?
Tile, what is available? For exterior and pool
Teak, is this what is being planned for posts and ceiling
Black metal, is this painted or powder coated, gloss or matt?

Need outlets outside:
In the shed, power and 3 large double doors
Exterior outlets, and lighting
Lighting/electrical- all staircases and entrance room- exterior driveway
and shed.
Where will breaker panels be?
Where does power and water come into house?
Electrical plan so all exterior power points can be shut down?
Power around the outdoor pool deck-in pool lighting

Exterior water faucets in driveway area for washing car/watering garden etc.

Kitchen Counter
Standard Fridge
30’ Cook Top with Extraction Hood? Gas? Electric? what is best?
In wall Oven (placed counter height)
Microwave (stacked with oven?)
Outlets
Is there an advantage to moving living area entrance door to accommodate
shared bathroom entrance.
Like to have under counter lighting

*Kitchen Island*
30” Sink
Standard size Dishwasher
There should be electricity to the Island
Lighting above island
Outlets
Could the Cook top be in the island, with a vent in the HVAC bulkhead?

Photo above Love
Possible elevation for Fridge- counter with high uppers and tall end
cabinets
Above counter lighting

Drawers in Lowers ( do not like the style of above photo- I am only sending
this as it shows great drawer sizing)

What are your thoughts on concert counters, the floors are concrete correct?

*Communal** Powder Room*
How big is the window?
Ventilation?
Sink with cabinet bellow
Mirror/Cabinet with integrated lighting
All fixtures should be robust/low maintenance/easy to maintain
Toilet paper holders
Additional Storage beside toilet
Lighting
Towel Racks
Would be nice to have shower on exterior toilet wall
Outlets
Like the nook and shelf
Dont like stone wall
Like the Wabi-Sabi style.
Like the black plumbing fixtures, towel racks, like window frames
The towel nook under sink is lit
Is the window similar in size and position to bathroom
Like the lit cabinet mirror,
The tall wood post reminds Jessica of perhaps there is room beside the
toilet for some cupboard (closed door) style storage?

*Master and Guest Bathroom*
Glass divider between toilet and shower
Double sinks -change to one sink to add closed door cabinet- upper and
lower drawers under sink area to take full advantage of storage space.
Mirror/Cabinet with integrated lighting
All fixtures should be robust/low maintenance/easy to maintain
Toilet paper holders
Additional storage if possible
Lighting
Towel Racks
Outlets
Nooks in Showers for shampoo etc
Single Sink???
East and West Window

Like the shower supplies nook (that it is for to ceiling and lit)

Love the finishes in this bathroom. Smooth/ nice hue/woods (hate black
toilet and mirror)
Love the combo of textiles and finishes- dont need this exactly, just love
the wabi-wabi and organic style.

Hate the style above-love the drawer sizing.

*Bed Rooms*
Power outlets so that there can be additional floor lighting, a desk, and
power beside the bed positions.
Lets re visit the 2nd bed room with extended wall
Room finishes below-love Venetian plaster below. (Might be too dark)

*Laundry Room*

Love the texture of the muddled tiles (but we don’t want actual texture or
rough sides/bottom)

Love the tiles above and the sides
Love the raised sides all around the pool above

Hello Milagro,
I am not sure what you mean?
I think your plan is a good one.
Is the red wall with vertical holes what needs to grow as well?
If you raise the ceiling over the stairs, that will raise the ceiling in the bedroom?
They would be fine.
We could also move the stairs?
Did I send you a model with two stair cases beside each other?
That might be a mistake?
Also happy to talk to you via Whats App, I am in Prague now.
:-)
Thank you Nigel
