In addition, it paid ¥2,000 in surveying costs and ¥4,000 for a title insurance policy. An old dwelling on the premises was demolished at a cost of ¥3,000, with ¥1,000 being received from the sale of materials.

Architectural plans were also formalized on December 1, 2022, when the architect was paid ¥30,000. The necessary building permits costing ¥3,000 were obtained from the city and paid for on December 1 as well. The excavation work began during the first week in December with payments made to the contractor in 2023 as follows.
