Splendid!
You're just in time for the meeting. This is my head urban developer͵ Val Briggs.
He'll be providing the details of what our wonderful town is looking for. I have
some paperwork to get done for the town hall. Briggs will take good care of
you all here. He'll explain the contracts we have exclusively for your
companies. Enjoy your stay with us!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you Milburn͵ & thank you all once again for coming to the call of this challenge. There are many areas of the town that can use your assistance.
Before we begin constructing buildings͵ I must let you know of one of our town's by-laws that will be relevant for this project. It is imperative that your keep these in mind while planning your residential designs. The town affords residents
Minimal Living Standards that must be followed by all construction companies who build residential spaces in town. Any resident who lives in the town must have the following items at minimum:
1. An enclosed area for privacy (at least a 3-walled structure)
2. A rooftop enclosure (so the weather does not enter the home)
3. Adequate interior floors (so insects from the grass do not enter from below the home)
4. Plumbing for hygiene (at least 1 toilet & 1 sink͵ tub͵ or shower)
5. Lighting for pedestrians at night (at least 2 lamp posts per lot)
6. Access to emergency services at all times (at least 1 phone).
Now that we have that cleared up͵ let's continue on. In this first city contract͵ being issued exclusively to your companies͵ we're asking you to build a living space that can accommodate at least 1 person.
Click here for the image of the land that can be built upon. You may download the lot from
HERE͵ or from the attachments area located at the end of this post. The theme has been approved by our town's urban developers. Provided in the lot are two lamp posts (§200 each)͵ along with the approved exterior wall motif sample that can be used for the structure. This land herein is provided as is (§2͵900). You may of course remove the foundation & stairs on that lot.
The lot will be constructed for use near the very poor class district of the town͵ hence the approved exterior wall motif. We also had to tear down the park that stood there before͵ hence the lack of green grass. We suggest that you do not improve the terrain of the land͵ due to tax implications for the residents nearby. If the area looks too..."well off"...well͵ you can guess what will happen to their property values. Of course͵ feel free to add some flowers͵ trees͵ & bushes.
REGULATIONS FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOT |
The total property price for newcomers of the town cannot exceed §20͵000. |
You may not remove the two lamp posts from the lot. However͵ you may move around the posts͵ so long as it remains in front of the main lot͵ & is within 2 tiles from the sidewalk (e.g. no more than 2 empty tiles between the sidewalk & lamp post). |
You may not install additional exterior lamp posts near the sidewalk area. The city will bill residents of poor & very poor class inhabitants who use more than the necessary number of lamp posts provided by the city. However͵ you may affix exterior lighting on the walls of the house͵ if needed. |
We're projecting a build time of no more than 10 days from today. The start & end dates are listed below. We are accepting only one design from each company. We're providing your company some money to begin this contract. We do not expect you to spend all that money. You'll need it for future budgeting purposes.
