Getting the utility upgrade across the finish line
Utility delays, added requirements and scheduling complications made the SDG&E meter upgrade a significant project challenge. The project coordinator followed up with SDG&E, coordinated contractors, managed plan revisions and arranged inspections to help move the work through completion. The meter upgrade was ultimately completed.
Outcome
Four homes on one lot, with a documented sale of $1.46 million on May 9, 2025. The owner confirmed $411,000 in final construction and renovation spending.
Financial Note
Construction and renovation cost is owner-confirmed and supported by the project draw schedule. Sale price is supported by the closing statement. Sale price is not profit; acquisition, financing, holding and selling costs are separate.
