Unfortunately, the architectural homes you see published in magazines and awards programs are often a far cry from what’s practical, cost effective, energy efficient or even fit for purpose. Here are some of the most impractical design choices that can be found in these homes, and why you’ll never see them in a Leanhaus.
Whether you’re renovating or building new, choosing which architect to work with is a major decision. There are lots of options, all with different areas of expertise, styles and (possibly most significantly) prices. That’s why we’ve decided to write a quick blog on what it’s like to work with us. And who better to tell you than our previous clients.
As exciting as it is, building or renovating a home is a stressful process. Not only is it a big investment of both time and money, it’s also an investment into your future. That’s why it’s important that everyone involved is working hard ensure the project runs smoothly and efficiently, and ultimately results in a home that you’re happy with.
Lean design and construction is, according to one definition, "a production management-based project delivery system emphasising the reliable and speedy delivery of value. It challenges the generally-accepted belief that there is always a trade-off between time, cost, quality and safety." At leanhaus, we seek to apply these ideas to the design and construction of homes and small buildings to make them more affordable, durable and comfortable. Here’s how we do it.
