September Owner Update
Construction progress, fit-out choices and the next deadlines
Dear Archive,
Thank you to everyone who joined our 1 September owners’ meeting. Below is a consolidated update on construction progress, the bathroom and flooring choices discussed, and the actions that need to be completed over the coming weeks.
Please use the Owners Register as the official record of your selections. If you are keeping Standard A, the standard specification will normally proceed automatically unless the category below requires an explicit confirmation.

Owners Meeting — Follow-Up Fit-Out Choices
All times are Bansko / Sofia time.
Thursday, 3 September
2026
18:00
Bansko / Sofia time
If this time does not work for you, please reply to Stela directly or let us know in the owner WhatsApp group — we will follow up with you individually.
To make the most of the meeting, please send Stela any questions arising from this update and the previous one in advance, so we can prepare proper answers rather than working through them live.
Section
Construction Progress
- Electrical installations inside all apartments are now 100% complete.
- Apartment plumbing throughout the building is expected to be complete by 4 September 2026.
- Wall plastering is fully complete on the ground, first and second floors, including living spaces, corridors and bathrooms.
- Plastering is underway on Floor 3, supported by additional specialist workers focused on bathroom plastering.
- Wall and bathroom plastering is progressing at approximately one floor every two weeks.
- Ground-floor screeding is complete and ready for the next tile and laminate stages. Screeding is progressing at approximately one floor per week.
- Preparatory plastering and screeding are expected to continue through September and into mid-October, subject to the required drying periods and site sequence.
- The standard common-corridor tiles have been delivered and are onsite.
Timing clarification: these dates describe readiness for the next finishing stages. They are not final apartment-completion or handover dates.
Section
How to Confirm Your Choices
- Record your final selection in the Owners Register.
- A WhatsApp message or verbal discussion does not replace the Owners Register entry.
- Coordinate custom products and materials with Stela before purchasing or arranging delivery.
- Custom products must fit the fixed water, drainage and electrical positions.
- Individual support for non-standard requests is charged at €25/hour.
Section
Bathroom Choices
Bathroom tiles
- Standard A colours are Beige, White and Grey. Record ‘A – beige’, ‘A – white’ or ‘A – grey’ in the Owners Register.
- The bathroom images represent the tile colour and general appearance; the fixtures shown are illustrative.
- Tile sizes depend on each bathroom’s dimensions. Where technically suitable, we aim to use 60 x 120 cm wall tiles. Larger bathroom floors may use 60 x 120 cm; smaller bathroom floors may use 80 x 80 cm or 60 x 60 cm.
- If you want custom bathroom tiles, notify the team by 13 September 2026. A €150 per-bathroom handling charge applies.
- Custom-tile delivery: Floor 1 by 20 September; Floors 2–3 by 30 September; Floors 4–5 by 10 October.
Shower divider and shower set
- Standard divider: fixed glass panel, 80 x 200 cm, with chrome-coloured wall attachments.
- Larger divider: 100 x 200 cm for +€40. Record ‘divider 100/200’ if you select it.
| Shower set | Product | Price |
| Standard A | — | €70 (project value) |
| Vidima Ceratherm T25 Chrome | A7208AA | €280 |
| Vidima Ceratherm T25 Silk Black | A7545XG | €460 |
Confirm your shower-set choice by 15 September.
Vanity, mirror and upper cabinet — Category 24 installation support
Lower vanity units and sinks must fit the fixed plumbing and drainage positions. Confirm your choice by 15 September; owner-supplied B2/B3 items must arrive by 10 October.
| Installation support | Price |
| Mirror installation | €60 |
| Upper cabinet without mirror | €75 |
| Mirror and cabinet set | €110 |
| Vanity with mirror and lights | €140 — only where the additional electrical point was requested and prepared |
Notify Stela by 15 September if you want installation support.
Toilet, boiler and bathroom heating
- Standard A is the floor-mounted ROCA toilet. Previously confirmed wall-hung choices proceed only where technically prepared; late changes cannot be assumed possible.
- Boilers are generally planned vertically. Horizontal installation reduces usable hot-water capacity. Confirm your boiler choice by 15 September; custom B3 delivery is due by 30 September.
| Bathroom heating | Price |
| Electric towel rail | €170 + €30 installation = €200 |
| Quartz radiant heater | €30 + €30 installation = €60 |
| Wall-mounted fan heater | €55 + €30 installation = €85 |
Confirm bathroom heating by 20 September.
Bathroom-door opening direction
If you prefer a different bathroom-door opening direction, mark the requested direction clearly on your apartment layout and send it to Stela by 25 September. The site team will accommodate the request where technically possible. Other interior doors follow the project layout.
Section
Underfloor Heating
- Confirmation deadline: 10 September 2026, end of day.
- Price: €70/m²; general coverage: 90% of apartment area, balconies excluded.
- Standard arrangement: one circuit and one thermoregulator.
- For larger apartments, a two-circuit arrangement may be requested. Both circuits are priced at €70/m²; the individual thermoregulator required for the second circuit adds €100.
- Wi-Fi thermoregulator: +€55 per regulator.
- Owners requesting two circuits must provide a marked plan showing the proposed areas.
Section
Laminate and Apartment Flooring
- Standard laminate colours: A – Oak, A – Grey (Bari) and A – Dark (Bergamo). Samples are available onsite.
- Record your laminate colour by 30 September.
- The standard finish inside apartment entrance corridors is laminate.
- You may request the common-corridor tile, a bathroom-range tile or suitable owner-supplied tiles for your apartment corridor.
- For custom tiled areas, send Stela a dimensioned map by 30 September and deliver the tiles onsite by 5 October.
- Owner-supplied laminate/vinyl handling: €3/m². Custom apartment-tile installation: €48/m².
- Coordinate skirting colour/material and all delivery arrangements with Stela.

- Owners may use another kitchen supplier; coordination support remains available at €25/hour.
- Final kitchen scope, price and ordering arrangements will be confirmed individually.
