Ginto Villa Approval Process Update
We have received a surge of design approval requests in the past few months. Please remember that the approval process requires two stages of approval to be granted by The Pavilions Niseko prior to submitting plans to the local authorities for a building permit. As it is the owners’ responsibility to conform to these guidelines and all covenants, The Pavilions Niseko recommends:
- Submission of the concept designs with a minimum of 3 external views; and
- Submission of a minimum of 3 external CGI’s and one landscape design.
Suggested time allowance time of 4-6 weeks as amendments may be required in order to comply with the design code.
Once written approval from The Pavilions Niseko is received, owners may proceed to submit plans to the local authorities for a building permit. The Pavilions Niseko is not responsible for delays caused by nonconformance. Please refer to the SIM and the Sales Contract for the covenant legal reference. All Owners are required to complete building within 24 months of breaking ground.

Interim Internet & Power Back-Billing
Interim Internet & Power Back-Billing
Currently, The Pavilions Niseko pays the cost of the generators. However, we will back bill the clients the cost of standard electricity charges based on their actual consumption once the power goes in. Therefore, once the electricity is in, we will ask the contractors the total KW used during the build then based on their usage rates for the same months the following year we will back bill them for Winter 2019/2020. These invoices we will send directly to management companies to get approval from the clients.
Similarly for the Internet, The Pavilions Niseko pays the cost of the WiFi boxes. These will also be back billed once we have actual internet monthly fees to base the cost on.
