Prefurbia design methods reduce infrastructure approx. 25% (paving, curbs, earthwork, etc.) while maintaining density compared to conventionally-designed suburban construction. The increased usable land becomes premium space that is used for bigger lots, larger home pad sites, and/or increased park and open space. The resident will have better views and more privacy. The efficient street systems calm traffic and create better curb appeal resulting in faster absorption rates. Construction costs are reduced while premiums and marketability increases. Prefurbia creates safer neighborhoods with better vehicular and pedestrian connectivity, more curb appeal, more green space, and of course more valuable homes to build tax base. For the home builders, Prefurbia introduces two value-added residential architectural design methods that increase marketability and provide that important competitive advantage. Prefurbia is a technology based revolution in design methods made possible by software development within our firm, and now available to all in the marketplace. These methods have evolved over 27 years used on over 1,000 land developments in 47 States and 18 Nations, contracted by over 300 private land developers and more recently also by municipalities. The book Prefurbia is soon to be released in it's 4th Edition factoring in the latest innovations and updated ftoday's growing home market. The Prefurbia design methods are part of the ongoing innovations of Rick Harrison and are exclusively available through Rick Harrison Design Studio or LandMentor Software Users. Note that LandMentor is free to students of land surveying, civil engineering, architecture and of course: planning through www.planningtank.com
