Remote work arrangements have been on the upswing for a long time. Research firm Global Workplace Analytics figured in 2019 that there were 4.3 million telecommuters in the US or about 3.2% of the workforce. That was before a pandemic-related lockdown and nationwide civil unrest.

Health and wellness have seized center stage in the homebuilding world. This year's coronavirus scare and lockdown made indoor air quality a top priority even among those who hadn't thought much about it before, and most industry pros expect it will still be a priority after the crisis. Not surprisingly, homebuyers are paying more attention to their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

We’re ready for your virtual appointment! Let’s keep dreaming together. Watch our video and learn how to properly measure for your next big project.

Home builders are sometimes accused of resistance to digital home technologies. That's not quite the case, but we have seen many high-tech devices hit the market with great hype, only to quietly disappear two years later. The best service we can offer is to only recommend technologies our customers will be happy in the long term.

This article is more technical than most, but it addresses an important issue for today's homebuyers: how healthy their new home will be. That concern is no surprise, given that we're getting outside less often than ever. A 2018 YouGov survey of 16,000 people in North America and Europe found that most now spend about 90 percent of their time indoors.

Today's homes are engineered for comfort and health. Their walls are sealed to eliminate drafts, and they include thick thermal insulation as well as high-performance heating, cooling and fresh-air ventilation systems. They're a far cry from older homes.

One often overlooked benefit of a high-quality new custom home is that it will better handle severe weather events and power outages. These are a fact of life in all parts of the country.

Mention home lighting trends and what comes to mind is the growth of LEDs. But the incandescent bulb isn't the only thing about to disappear—the wall switch may be going the same way.

Many clients approach a builder with an idea about how long it should take to finish their new home. Some underestimate the time the project will require, while others expect it to take a lot longer.

A lot of people don't understand the sheer complexity of the builder's job and the systems required to build a house from scratch. Many analogies have been used to describe the professional builder: the conductor of an orchestra, the captain of a ship, even a general executing a military campaign.

Most homebuyers want assurance that their new home will offer a healthy, comfortable environment and lower energy bills, but many don't know what questions to ask the builder to get that outcome. Learn the questions you can ask to get the best answers in this blog post!
