DETACHED HOMES THAT REDUCE BUILDING COSTS

摘要

Finding solutions for value-priced housing has always been difficult, but current material shortages and climbing prices make the goal of providing affordable detached homes even more challenging. It's now imperative to create designs with simple footprints, lower roof pitches with minimal offsets, and two-story designs with stacked walls in order to reduce building costs. Although homebuy-ers have come to expect upgrade finishes-even in so-called starter homes-there's a looming reality that such luxuries just may not be feasible. As we strive to reduce building costs, a look back to earlier eras-when homes had laminate counters, smaller baths, and garages were not standard-may be the direction we need to consider.
