| book description |

While building trends may change, one thing does not: the need to build quality homes at affordable prices. And in todayâ€™s building market, sustainability is an important part of building homes that last so homeowners can keep long-term costs down. Building an Affordable HouseÂ helps readers do that with insight from the people who work in the field every day. Building expert Fernando Ruiz knows that from a homebuilderâ€™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 isnâ€™t simply good for the environmentâ€”itâ€™s good for the homeownerâ€™s bottom line. Building an Affordable House 2e provides an updated sensibility to the building decisions every homeowner must make in todayâ€™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.
