This is not to say that both of these priorities can not be combined and cannot go hand in hand. If contractors know that a condominium complex is thinking of doing a project at some time in the future, they are often willing to come to acceptable terms at a lower cost. One example of this would be the recent parking lot stripping project. This project was first placed in our budget in 2001. It had to be postponed because of other unexpected problems, but was finally done in 2005 at a huge savings. Installing good quality fencing that will last for many years is another example of a safety related project.
