  • Reducing the overall per square foot construction cost by 9%*.

 

  • Making higher margin dollars on additional space.

 

  • Efficiently using land to build up, not out.

 

  • Increasing the home appraisal values - finished attics and bonus rooms typically appraise at 100% of the value of the rest of the house while basements typically appraise only 40-70%.
