Owners’ meeting on 7 October, construction progress and the next fit-out decisions

Join Our Owners’ Meeting
Wednesday, 7 October 2026 · 18:00 Bansko / Sofia Time
Online via Zoom. We will share the latest construction progress, walk through the upcoming fit-out choices and answer your questions.

Dear Orbelus,

We look forward to seeing you at our next Zoom meeting. We will share the latest construction progress, walk through the upcoming fit-out choices and answer your questions.

We will record the meeting and go through all questions received in advance, so every answer is on the recording for owners who are unable to join live. We will share the recording afterwards.

Please send us your questions upfront — by Tuesday, 6 October.

Questions sent before the meeting are the ones we can prepare properly, with the builder where needed, and answer in full on the recording. The form takes two minutes.

01 Across the Building
Construction Progress

Work is progressing in line with the builder’s current timeline, with the teams moving through plastering, floor preparation and preparations for tiling.

These are the current planned stages; we will continue sharing progress and confirmed installation dates as work advances.


02 Action Required
Air Conditioning — Confirm Your Choice by 10 November
Heating and cooling, with Wi-Fi control from your phone

The builder can arrange the supply and installation of LG air-conditioning systems for heating and cooling, through a local company that can also provide ongoing maintenance. The proposed units include Wi-Fi control from your phone.

For both the single-room and two-room multi-split systems, connecting pipework is charged separately at approximately €40 per metre, with an estimated additional cost of €40–€120 per apartment. The final amount will be confirmed according to the actual pipe length and installation arrangement.

The AC prices have increased compared with those shared initially, reflecting changes in market prices since the original quotations were obtained.

The exact models, technical specifications, VAT treatment and apartment-specific installation costs will be confirmed in your quotation before you approve an order.

Prefer to source your own units?

The local installation company can also install owner-supplied equipment, subject to checking its suitability. Indicative installation labour is €250–€350 for a single-split system or €250–€400 for a two-room multi-split system. Pipework and any additional installation requirements will be confirmed in the individual quotation.
Please confirm your choice with Stela by 10 November 2026 if you would like installation coordinated through the project.

If you would like more time to decide, your living room has an electrical connection provided for a future AC unit. This allows you to arrange installation later; the installer will still need to assess pipework, drainage and unit positions.

03 Kitchens
Kitchen Options

The three previously presented kitchen options remain available:

Final scope, appliance inclusions and the apartment-specific price will be confirmed in your individual quotation.

For a custom kitchen, please send Stela a simple sketch or reference image, the available dimensions, your preferred cabinet arrangement, colours and materials. Alternatively, arrange an individual consultation to work through your requirements. Owner-provided dimensions are preliminary until verified onsite by the manufacturer.

The first kitchen-order round is planned for 30 October 2026, with a second round on 10 December 2026 for owners who need more time. These are indicative ordering dates, rather than delivery or installation dates.

Kitchen design and individual coordination support is charged at €25 per hour through Mons Orbelus. Indicative support ranges from an initial concept consultation of 3 hours / €75, through design and quotation support of 6 hours / €150, to fuller ordering and installation coordination of 9–12 hours / €225–€300. Work is billed according to actual time spent; any material expansion of scope will be discussed in advance.

The full kitchen offer, specification and coordination details are on the Fit-Out Choices page under Category 22, Kitchen Fit-Out.

04 Furnishing
Furnishing Choices

For owners who would like support furnishing their apartment, the three previously presented complete furnishing collections are:

Each collection page shows the image gallery and the itemised list.

The collections cover the itemised kitchen, bedroom, living/dining, terrace, lighting and curtain scope shown in each offer. Bathroom vanity furniture and the shower divider are excluded. Transport, carrying, assembly, appliance connections, plumbing and electrical installation are quoted separately.

You can choose a complete collection or mix and match items across the collections. Please email Stela with the items you want and the collection each comes from, so that we can obtain a tailored quotation. For curtains, you can also send reference images showing your preferred style and colours.


05 Paint
Choosing a Different Wall Colour

For owners who would like walls painted in a colour other than standard white, we plan to share a colour catalogue at the beginning of November.

A paint colour can look different once it is on the wall, depending on daylight, artificial lighting and the room itself. Screen images and printed catalogues are a guide. Where possible, we recommend choosing your colour personally, ideally checking a physical sample in the apartment, and sending us the exact paint brand and colour code.

For owners who are away from Bansko, the catalogue will help you select a preferred shade. We can then coordinate sourcing and tinting the paint to your selected colour, together with delivery and painting. Material and labour costs will be quoted for approval before proceeding. Individual sourcing and coordination support is charged at €25 per hour through Mons Orbelus.


06 Order Yourself
Self Fit-Out Owner Ordering Process
Ordering, delivering and paying for your own materials

If you plan to order items for your apartment yourself, two steps come first:

1. Contact Stela before you order. Please speak to her before placing any order or arranging any delivery.

2. Read the Self Fit-Out Owner Ordering Process page. It has everything you need: what can be delivered now, the steps to follow, delivery times, labelling, contacts and handling fees.

07 Looking Ahead
Spa and Gym

During November and December, the team will work with owners on ideas and preferences for how the spa and gym areas should look. We will use these discussions to develop the proposals together and share further details as this work progresses.
