Housing: Phoenix Residential Architects That Know Housing Inside And Out
Understanding the nuances to housing is more difficult than it appears on the surface. That is really understanding all of the bits and pieces that make housing successful.
Regardless of housing type, custom, starter, apartment or townhouse, all have the same roots. They are based in the AMERICAN DREAM. It all goes back to the 3 bedroom and 2 bath house on its own piece of land.
Unconventional Wisdom
Production housing or tract housing is where the rubber meets the road. If you know production housing. I mean, know it cold, you’ve set the basis for success with all types of housing.
This sounds odd. But think about it, that’s tougher? Design and build housing for people looking for their own identity. Along with it, comes their little slice of heaven. Now mix in broad appeal. You are still not done there. How about maintainability and warranty isssues? This is the black hole for lost profits.
We still haven’t listed the greatest issue that have to be solved for production housing. BUILDING COST! As you can see, it is a balancing act.
Multi Family Housing
So, what’s the big difference with production housing and multi family housing. Not much. Throw in sound walls and fire protection and you are looking at satisfying the same base needs and desires.
The trick is to remember the AMERICAN DREAM. Understanding how to hit that target time and again will be the basis for multi family housing success.
Custom Housing
More money is thrown into the wind with custom housing than any other. Maybe because looking good and being expensive are often confused as going hand-in-hand. The contrary is true, good looking custom homes can be very inexpensive to build.
For your custom home to cost less and look great…kind of sounds like a beer commercial doesn’t it? The underlying design principles must be based in production housing.
