Housing Affordability Institute released a new white paper today highlighting the role bulk controls play in density. Highlights: - Setbacks, building height, elevation design standards, lot coverage, and floor area ratio are examples of bulk controls. - While used to create uniformity and for additional reasons, critics argue that bulk controls have been used for exclusionary purposes. - Interplay of all bulk controls and zoning is critical to ensure that allowed uses are possible in practice. The white paper is part of the Institute’s Housing Policy Explainer series and can be found in the Policy Center section of our website. https://lnkd.in/gZzHQJMD #planning #zoning #homebuilding #housingpolicy

Bulk controls are a foundational aspect of planning and zoning in America, and come from a time when planning and exclusion were intertwined. With advances in building technology, safety, and environmental regulations, as well as increased recognition of bulk controls use as a tool of exclusion, these long-used tools need to be reexamined. #housingpolicy #housing #homebuilding

A large Gold Coast hinterland home being prepped on this site by Shaun and the team of Big T Concreting for New Classic Homes Pty Ltd 🏡 This is going to be stunning… other than the wet areas the full slab is going to be finished as polished concrete ✨👌🏼 The Biax Foundations system is perfect for polished slabs - having closer spaced tapered ribs and channels across the top of each pod the system allows the concrete to “go off” significantly more even than a larger flat topped pod with deep straight narrow ribs, all up resulting in a perfect finish. If you want a quality finish, why risk anything else?

When it comes to multifamily construction, few elements are as critical—and as often overlooked—as quality waterproofing. As we start final waterproofing at our Mar Vista project, I can't help but think about how investing in top-tier waterproofing systems protects not only the structural integrity of a building but also the long-term value of the property. Waterproofing isn’t just about preventing leaks; it’s about ensuring the safety and comfort of residents, avoiding costly repairs, and maintaining trust with stakeholders. In Southern California, where environmental factors like coastal humidity and occasional heavy winter rains come into play, we make waterproofing a top priority. From below-grade systems to balconies, roof assemblies, and windows, we’ve incorporated industry-leading solutions to guard against water intrusion. It’s a proactive measure that reflects our commitment to quality and our focus on delivering a durable, high-performing building for years to come. For anyone involved in multifamily construction, remember: good waterproofing is not an expense—it’s an investment in the project’s future. Special thanks to our incredible team at Waterproofing Experts, Inc. for their help and workmanship on this project.

Canterbury Community New Construction Update Here’s a brief overview of the recent construction phases: Foundation: Our team began by preparing the site and laying a strong foundation. This involved excavating and pouring concrete to create a stable base for your home, ensuring durability and resistance to environmental factors. Framing: Following the foundation, we erected the framework using quality timber. This skeleton of your home defines its shape and structure, including walls, floors, and roof support. The framing process is crucial for establishing the layout and ensuring stability. If you have any questions about your new home or need information on other new builds or rehabs in the Atlanta area, please contact us at @haroldmonuhomes. #newconstruction #atlantarealestate #newhomes
