What’s New in Homebuilding?

Architectural Styles

Building with a trend in mind? There are many popular styles these days. Still going strong is the Mediterranean look. This style has become a byword with developers. Tile roof and bright colors characterize these styles. Up and coming are the Asian and Tuscan styles. Asian style architecture may have derived its popularity from the current spa culture. Finding serenity and relaxation may be the inspiration for some homebuilders. Asian is usually mingled with other styles resulting the Modern Asian and Spanish Asian. Tuscan is more similar to Mediterranean but stands out for the following features: narrow eaves and antiqued finish.

The boom in construction these days may have prompted the emergence of new construction technologies. Usually the purpose of these technologies is to lower the cost of the labor component of construction without sacrificing the quality of materials. Prefabrication is a type of these technologies where parts of a house is mass produced and assembled on site.
