Re-levelling a Building
Re-levelling a Building
(OP)
I am working with a client who has experienced settlements of their building of up to 8"-12". As such, we will be looking to re-level the building by jacking the settled corner back to its original position. The small, wood framed hotel, generates revenue in the summer, during which time the jacking work would be occurring. Would the hotel need to be closed as the building is being leveled?

Won't the "Homeowner's" insurance as it were pick up the cost of the repair in addition to any downtime?
Has the revenue declined due to the settlement? If it has, then what does the time matter? If it has not, why not do the work in September, after the major tourist season?
Another thought, with the higher gas prices, will business decrease anyway? Will it pencil out in the future as a hotel?

That said, if all noisy work was done between 10 and 4 then it may be feasible only to vacate the adjacent rooms.
It is important to note in correspondence that this is not your call.
