"If something has a lead time, the lead time is always honest. If we're told it's going to take four weeks, it genuinely will take four weeks, and it will arrive within a day or two of that on-site which is brilliant." For more reasons why Chris Brown, MD of Brindle Homes, used C&W Berry to supply building materials for this spectacular renovation of a 200-year-old pub, check out the video below from within their incredible show home. #lancashire #lancashirebusiness #buildingmaterials #historicrenovation #historicrenovationproject

A recent survey by Houzz, 'UK Kitchen Trends 2024' revealed that 46% of kitchen projects in the UK are embracing the outdoors, with 39% of homeowners opting for double doors or a row of doors when creating that outdoor connection to their kitchen. At KCA, we see this first-hand in both our projects for private homeowners and our work with independent builders for premium new-build developments. Reviewing our projects for builders and homeowners in the premium to high-end residential market, our data points to this figure being higher than 46%. #kitchendesigns #tradekitchens #ukconstruction #building #ukbuilder

Here is a little insight on one of our Rock Hill, SC fix/flips we are currently working on! 🤙🏼 People love open concepts and more open space in a home. A lot of these older properties have too many walls/doors/hallways that really aren’t needed, making the homes feel cluttered and smaller. If you can find a way to open up the space, especially the kitchen and living room area, it will boost the value of a flip a lot! 💰 With this property we are looking to take down some walls to open up the space more and give it a more open concept feel from the kitchen to the living room. This should increase our sales price at exit and increase our returns. The great thing is that this really doesn’t increase the renovation budget much at all, so if you can do this in properties you are flipping, definitely look into it! 💯 #fixandflip #realestate #realestateinvesting

The name Treehouse derives from the concept’s key feature: a double-height common area located four stories above ground level; a new typology to affordable senior living that transforms the stereotypes associated with typical retirement homes. Accessible by elevators, but intended primarily by a set of open stairs, this mid building two storey community place offers a constant connection to the outside world though aerial views and tree canopy sightlines, providing residents with an ongoing relationship with the changing seasons, weather patterns and time of day.   Typically, multi-unit housing locates common areas, such as dining rooms and shared kitchens, on the ground level, with residential units above. Several benefits emerge when these gathering spaces are placed higher up, where windows offer greater visual prospect and sensory stimulation, derived from aerial views, is especially important for those who may have mobility issues and can’t easily venture outdoors.

Let's Talk About Commercial Conversion On my guest spot on Keeping It Real Estate with Mike Roeder, I discussed my hopes for commercial conversion opportunities. But it's not as easy as many people think. The transition from hotel to apartments is more straightforward; ask Alexander Cartwright about that. The plumbing, windows, and layouts are in the right places. Retail to apartments is much more complex. There are often no windows, no limited bathrooms, or cement floors, making things more difficult. What are your hopes for commercial conversion? #realestateinvesting #commercialrealestate #realestateinvestors

The Offsite Minimalist Conundrum More and more is written about 'offsite' construction and minimalist housing - housing manifesting as tiny homes, un-foldable homes, CNC fabricated cold rolled steel homes, RVs and so on. Yet while much is written in praise of offsite minimalist housing, articles explaining how and where to site them are in short supply. The situation is strangely reminiscent of a hundred years ago when the mobile home first appears. In this article I make the case for leveraging 'infrastructure' already in place - courtesy of the mobile home industry. At the same time why not package multiple minimalist offsite houses together on a single mobile home chassis to simplify transport and set up. This multiplies the ability to take advantage of the mobile home park as a destination with platting, utilities, water and sewer ready to go. Finally systematize site built conveniences like privacy fencing and supplemental storage. In this way minimalist offsite can more quickly transition from its current position of a novelty to a popular viable housing solution.
