If you are buying an unfinished condo or townhouse near Notre Dame but don’t live in South Bend you can still keep an eye on the construction of your condo. A dozen photos of the interior taken once a week will let you watch your place come together. It may even help you catch any mistakes or wrong finishes before your final walk-through.

Here are the photos I took for one of my clients who bought an Irish Crossings townhouse:



As an example, here is the progress of the kitchen:

July 27th
Irish Crossings Construction: Kitchen July 27th

August 16th
Irish Crossings Construction: Kitchen on August 16th

August 27th
Irish Crossings Construction: Kitchen August 27th

This is pretty basic work. It took me about fifteen minutes per week  to take photos, upload them to Picasa and share a link with the couple buying this townhouse. But they were a five hour drive from South Bend, making it impractical for them to watch the work personally.

If you’re buying a condo that is under construction, shouldn’t you ask the person representing you to help you monitor its progress? Is anyone representing you?

  1. I looked at Irish Crossings last year. A very nice development and the larger units around the pond are the best in the whole area. Last I saw they still had a few foundations to put in to complete the development. Have they completed all of the foundations yet? I’m sure once construction is done this will be a top development for decades.
