True Homes’ Post

What I’m reading: On incremental development, “Gradual progress, through local pilots and demonstrations that build trust (and results) along the way, is better than top-down transformations. It’s an approach that emphasizes small-scale projects led by average citizens who have a passion for community development and prioritizes removing the regulations that might thwart them, so that someone who is, say, constructing a cottage in their backyard doesn’t have to go through the same process as a mega-developer.” #pahousingchoices

So great to think “outside the box” with you and plan for Modular.

Exciting development coming soon

As more transactional and digitized work becomes automated, interactional and humanized work will be a magnet. To add to Jim's point with Jeff Sample, "today's effort will create tomorrow's security". #BuildTRUTH #AEC #ConTechCrew

Modular housing research and development For Urbex I have been undertaking research into modular building as means of improving the affordability of housing. My personal experience in this area has been limited, with the offsite manufacture of the sales and information centre at Fitzgibbon Chase (Fitz Blitz Part 1 (https://lnkd.in/gHH-Y6iZ) and building a three storey terrace at Southport (https://lnkd.in/gT4Ch2kr), my only hands on experiences. Notwithstanding these projects which were mostly positive, I admit I started the current project as a modular sceptic. This was driven by my observations over the years that standard building methods were more cost effective (unless for remote housing) and also by the recent failure of large modular building companies in the UK and the USA https://lnkd.in/gq7WiaEj However, after nine months of investigation, the Urbex team believes there is a place for modular building in the current market place and will be building two prototypes in early 2025 (one for single level housing, the other for medium rise apartments). So, watch this space..…..
