Challenges: Logistical Procurement: High- end design materials from around the world were brought in from countries such as Italy, Portugal, China, Kenya, Turkey and the U.S. mainland. This proved challeng- ing to assure proper quantities and specifications of each product would be delivered in time for installation. Quality Control: Maintaining stringent levels of quality was a major concern during construction as multiple delays occurred due to massive rain storms in the summer of 2016. This mostly affected the installation of the pool deck, as contractors were not able to per- form duties outside. Additionally, due to the high-end design ele- ments, such as custom marble walls in the penthouse bathrooms, all plumbing work and leveling work needed to be performed with precision, as there would not be a second chance to get the installa- tion right.
