When Good News Can Mean Bad News: 2021 and Increasing Interest Rates

Increased interest rates reduce the house we’re able to afford. For every .5% (one-half) percent increase in interest rate, your purchasing power may be decreased by about 4 to 5 percent. Interest rates are currently at their lowest levels ever, but who knows when they will increase.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving: A Tight Thermal Envelope

We hear terms such as energy-efficient, green, resilient, zero-energy ready (ZER), along with many others every day. When you are a builder, or if you are into building science, you know (or should know) what they all mean. However, as a home buyer that just wants a home that is safe, comfortable, and has the lowest monthly utility bills possible, these terms can sound foreign. The common denominator that plays a role in each of these areas is something called the “thermal envelope”. It’s most basic definition is the line that is drawn between the outside of the house and the inside of the house. It is a boundary. The goal is to make it a solid line (continuous boundary) that keeps water out, allows moisture to escape, and eliminates air movement in either direction.

Modular Brain: Rewiring the Brain for a Better Way to Build

When a home buyer first discovers modular construction as an option to build their new home, they get excited. They begin to Google more about the construction method and learn more about it and its advantages. However, as an industry, many contractors don’t know anything about it. It’s different. They have been building the same way for 10, 20, or 30 years or more doing it the exact same way. In fact, the construction industry overall lags every other industry in productivity growth. In a report by McKinsey & Company the construction industry has only see a 1% increase in the last 20 years. To overcome this lack of productivity they recommended action in several key areas. Here are a few: improve procurement and supply chain, rethink design, and infuse technology and innovation. That describes offsite modular construction. But for many todays builders a new way is a wrong way to build.
