ADUs Bring Organic Growth to Suburbia

Check out this article from Francesc Zamora on Architizer.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) mandated by the State of California override local planning regulations to permit a second unit on almost any single-family zoned property. The law also allows any single-family zoned lot to be subdivided into two parcels. Additionally, it allows ADUs to be built with just a four-foot setback or no setback at the new interior property line of a subdivided parcel, in contrast with most towns, which have setbacks of more than 7 feet, up to 30 feet. It also mandates very relaxed parking requirements or no parking if the project is near public transit.

Is California paving the way for ADUs across the US?

Climate Change: Whose Problem Is It?

Climate Change:  Whose Problem Is It?

This is an excellent article from GBRI (Green Building Research Institute) giving an overview of global warming concepts, history, and science.  Check-out the article and the informative links.

Excerpt

“Today, climate change is a well-known fact, but for years it was a hotly debated topic. While there are still some climate deniers, the majority of people have finally accepted the harsh truth that we’re facing. There’s no longer room for debate – we’ve had the 10 warmest years ever recorded since 2005, and hundreds of species are at risk if we continue on this path. We’re at risk to lose entire cities, as increased temperatures cause sea levels to rise.

There have been plenty of warning signs over the years. We can look back at the past century and see exactly what was happening. So, what did the earth look like before climate change? What will it look like in the future? This article will act as a climate time machine, taking you back to look at the changing climate over the years. Then, we’ll consider what these changes mean for us in the present day, what the future looks like, and, perhaps most importantly – whose problem is it, really?”

Lumber Prices Still Soaring

Lumber prices are still soaring, and not just because of COVID-19.

We have been keeping our eyes on the lumber and other construction inflation for the past many months.  After dropping dramatically in mid to late 2021, we have noticed the lumber prices have again appeared to rise into early 2022.

This article link gives insight to the latest trends affecting the lumber industry.
