Description

While building trends may change, one thing does not: the need to build quality homes at affordable prices. And in today’s building market, sustainability is an important part of building homes that last so homeowners can keep long-term costs down. Building an Affordable House helps readers do that with insight from the people who work in the field every day.

Building expert Fernando Ruiz knows that from a homebuilder’s perspective, competitive, affordable housing represents a basic business plan that blends curb appeal, useful floor space and a low price tag to guarantee quick sales.

It is a blueprint that takes the speculation out of spec building and provides the builder with an elusive commodity in the construction industry: peace of mind.

Plus, keeping sustainability at the forefront of building decisions isn’t simply good for the environment—it’s good for the homeowner’s bottom line.

Building an Affordable House 2e provides an updated sensibility to the building decisions every homeowner must make in today’s challenging construction environment, whether they are building a brand-new house or renovating one they love.

This update (long overdue after 17 years) included all new code information, techniques that honour sustainable building practices, and cost-saving methods that are safe and effective.

This book reveals the secrets of building better for less and developing your own cost-cutting approach that balances marketability, quality, and price.
