As i said back in post #147:
So, I fall on the side of no penalty for sim inclusion this round
As for round 2 - "Bring it" whenever you are ready to dispense with it. Money/tax matters go right over my head - but, I'm ready to build :lovestruc
...and 10 days is plenty of time - so long as I don't miss the starting pistol.

Lol I'm with you Cat. I'll let d_dgjdhh do all the maths. Just give me a budget to build to and all is good. I'll let others worry over tax and stuff.

I'm with Cat and Jo over the money side, I'm just interested in building, I'm no good with maths at all :D
Want a specific style of house or community building? Why not take a look at my profile and see what I build and then come ask me to make it!

And yes, I'll be doing the math and budget for each company. There's going to be a table of the summary and a post detailing the scores.

Much to my Dad's dismay (he was the Math Dept Head at my High School - yes, I had him for a teacher. Poor guy!) I see numbers and my brain kinda goes numb. *sigh*
But - there's HOPE: :lovestruc

Guys, the maths are so you know your budgets for the next round, and for those of you are homeowners, if you may need to take out *shutters* A LOAN, to pay of your debt! That's why the next round hasn't begun right away!!

Just submitted my voting results - you guys did a great job! Some of those lots were very creatively done, no-CC really can be a good way to force yourself to use old parts in new ways. Can't wait to see what you guys do with the next round.

Town Application Scores (Part 1 of 2)
TOWN APPLICATION - Results (Details)
Thank you all for your applications to the contest. This is the details of the scoring,
along with an image of what the judges used to determine your score. The
following post is a breakdown of your company's spending for the round.
Very interesting build, however this building looks much more permanent than what was asked for and it is unfortunate that you racked up costs in the process. Trying to understand your intention, as many developers often to, is having a 'spend money to make money' sort of ideal as presentation for your building office must be able to advocate for your company as a marketing strategy. If that is so, then you did incredibly well in my opinion as I would be convinced as a customer to choose your company over others.
Lovely build, but not really temporary. I love the shapes and decor you've done - very modern and sophisticated.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This really appears to me as an incredibly temporary-looking office for this start-up development company, successfully demonstrating what was requested. My only issue with this lot is that it appears incredibly empty, as many other contestants also included much more greenery, and dirt-piles surrounding their temporary offices. I am given the impression that this office is trying crazily to save money, with an only semi-apparent marketing strategy, since that exterior display is also incredibly unique and creative, however the interior and the presentation of the rest of the exterior may not persuade potential customers in investing with your company.
Love the flamingos, the dressers used as boxes look great. Like the overarching theme with the pink.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Very creative method integrating your business with a possible home as well, and you clearly show both a focus on cost minimization and proper presentation, although you could have still reduced some costs. In the eyes of a customer, I would be easily convinced to invest in your company, which clearly means that you have successfully fulfilled the requirements for this round in my opinion.
Definitely temporary, although I think the hedging is a little less temporary than it could be.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Although I really appreciate the name, I am unable to see the majority of your building do to the lack of pictures, and only get an iffy feeling for the entire concept. You should really consider including interior shots, since I only get a slight feeling for the presentation for your company. It also seems quite more permanent-looking based on the 4 pictures included, yet i think you should really continue to pursue your company's adaptation with its environment, which is very interesting as well.
Love the extended lattice work, although it doesn't make the build very temporary.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
You have really amazed me by this tiny office on the construction site, but I felt like it wouldn't be much of a presentation centre/sales office for your buildings, though I still adore this unique concept. The amount of presentation you have done in this tiny meeting area, which is an idyllic 'temporary building', as well as the rest of the lot is outstanding and all I felt that it missed was really a space for the potential customers, which in my opinion it seems much more as a place just for construction purposes.
This is definitely a temporary office on a construction site. Particularly like the terrain sculpting.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I really like the concept of the prefabricated building with the sales-oriented interior, which I know will clearly persuade clients in investing in your company, if you can get them inside. Although you stated that landscaping has yet to come, you should have still put some minimal effort with greenery on the exterior as it is the first thing your customers see, which also expresses the capabilities of your company. You clearly completed the requirements of a minimal costing and temporary structure, but there was not much that made me just say "wow", however you seem to be on the correct path so I wouldn't worry too much.
The cement rendering was an interesting choice for a temporary building. Loved the bold black and white interior. This is a company that will go far.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This is honestly an incredibly well thought out design of a literal 'mobile-home', and I just love every aspect of it. It's temporary, it's a little-bit over-pricey, but it makes up for it through it's greenery and outstanding presentation. As a customer, I would be completely convinced to invest in your company, and therefore you have perfectly fulfilled the requirements for your building company's office.
The house on wheels is gorgeous, although perhaps a little big for a trailer office. Such a classy home/office though.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was really unable to get a good feel for the presentation of your office, since you did not include any interior shots otherwise than the floor plan. Your building appears slightly temporary-looking and i like that you added some greenery and decoration to the rest of the lot, although it still feels quite empty at the same time. I see your slight focus more on an ideal marketing strategy for your business, thinking of how you can attract clients to your business, and how your lot reflects your business' potential, yet it could still use a little bit more of a push.
I was confused with the bar stools sitting along one wall outside the bathroom. The green theme does make it cohesive. I would have liked a sim-level shot, to see what the rooms were like.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I really like the design of your four modular units easily assembled together, clearly demonstrating your temporary office with a well thought out façade, and your inclusion of a mission statement made me better understand your building company's purpose. I really feel like this could work in Veronaville, as you seem to have your own business plan, which reflects the presentation on this lot as well, which is very impressive.
I like the twist of tudor, and it certainly has many amenities. Not very temporary although it is up on blocks.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I really like the design of your temporary office, although it even appears that it can remain permanent, but the shipping containers idea clearly indicates it isn't. There was one tiny issue with this lot for me, which was that it appears that you used carpet flooring in your washroom, which is incredibly odd. I also felt that the exterior of your building could use a little bit more decoration/greenery as better methods of presentation, however your interior presentation is quite sufficient, which is enough to win over customers in the end.
The minimal landscaping was nice - I like the ivy/espaliered tree on the outside. Quite a few nice touches in this one - the back to front painting to be the whiteboard stuff, the poppies on the mirror, nicely laid out furniture wise.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This temporary office really makes me say "wow they must know what they are doing, look how they repurposed those shipping containers!" Really, I am speechless, although it was a quite pricey build, all of the decoration and presentation of the entire lot persuades me to look the other way and believe that your building company has a lot of potential.
Love this build. The doors on the shed are fantastic. The landscaping looking like it belongs to a construction site.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I really like that fake façade in the front of your temporary office to the back, which is a really clever method to making your entry stand out amongst the rest. I had some difficulty viewing your first floor plan since it was too much zoomed out, so I couldn't really make out what was going on in the interior, although it seemed mostly decorated and had a good presentation. I would suggest adding a little bit more greenery around the rest of your lot, I could not stress the 'little bit' enough since it just feels like it's missing like 2 more plants which would make it appear to look more natural and fill the space.
The house facade on the front of the container is a novel idea.
