Over the next few weeks, everything moved surprisingly quickly for everyone.
The construction firm revised its drawings based on the site visit and sent the completed plans to Gray and Mara for review. After a few minor adjustments to the office layouts and dining area, the final design was approved without any major revisions.
At the same time, the firm's administrative team began processing the necessary permits while Gray's legal and finance departments prepared the documents required on their end.
Several days later, the approval finally came through. That same afternoon, Gray transferred the first progress payment according to their construction schedule.
And with it, in just the following week, the once-silent was now completely being changed.
Construction fences surrounded the property, temporary site offices had been installed near the entrance, and banners displaying the construction firm's name now hung along the perimeter.
