istock.com/Feverpitched The National Association of Home Builders has shared analysis of census data that indicates custom home building posted the second best quarter since the Great Recession during the Spring of 2021. There were 54,000 total custom building starts during the second quarter of the year. This marks a 15% gain from the second quarter of 2021, a comparison affected by the declines in economic activity in the spring of 2020. Nonetheless, over the last four quarters, custom housing starts totaled 187,000 units, a 4.5% gain from the prior four-quarter total. Despite these gains, the market share for custom home building has declined as other forms of home building have expanded more rapidly. See more at NAHB's Eye on Housing blog. Adblock test (Why?)

Stacey Freed  |  Special to the Democrat and Chronicle One of the biggest home trends in recent years has been the desire for easy indoor-outdoor connections and in the use of biophilic design (connecting people and nature within our built spaces). Numerous studies have shown how being outdoors is good for your health and wellbeing. Even just viewing plants or gardens from a window is beneficial for health. None of this science was on Zuzanna Kwon's mind as she went about creating a veritable Eden in the backyard of her Bushnell's Basin home. She just loves to garden.  Zuzanna, who has a doctorate in piano from the Eastman School of Music and sits on the board of the RPO, and her husband, an eye surgeon, purchased the home on 11 wooded acres with a pond back in 2011. The property had been vacant for a decade. The then-4,500 square foot concrete and plaster home was previously owned by Michael Lasell Watson and his wife, Nicoleta Zervas. Watson, who ...

Introduction Are you considering building your own metal home? If you are, then you'll want to keep on reading. There are multiple benefits to building a home, as opposed to buying a home. When you build your own home, you can select unique designs, newer appliances, and other personal touches that make the home sincerely yours. Plus, newer homes have a longer lifetime in terms of insurance and repairs, which generates cost-savings down the line. So what is the cost of building a metal home? The National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) estimated that the average cost of building a metal home added up to $359,228 including all construction, land & finishings.  With that said, if you already own the land and opt for a smaller 40 x 60 square foot building the costs can be $5,000 – $30,000 for the shell only. At this point, you're probably wondering what specific expenses are involved and how this number is justified. We've got you cover...

San Antonio's construction contractors are split right now into two camps: the small and midsize firms that are struggling and the big ones that are busy — but also struggling. The smaller companies are spending a lot of their time hunting for scarce materials such as lumber and drywall, for which they're paying a bundle. Some of their projects continue to be pushed back or canceled when COVID-19 is surging. And they're straining to find workers. To lure enough laborers to their worksites, they're paying more than they used to. Last year, metro-area builders paid a median hourly wage of $18.95, with entry-level pay at $14.23 an hour, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many of the city's contractors are also offering bonuses to new hires. And some are paying bonuses to workers who convince friends on other construction projects to quit and join them — which is to say that some contractors are poaching wo...
