On the one-year anniversary of legalized ADUs in Cincinnati, this piece does a solid job of explaining what's transpired, the challenges, and real-world examples of residents building ADUs in backyards of existing homes. Looking ahead, projects like The Picket Fence Concept Home are being constructed from the ground up with an integrated ADU complete with its own strong sense of arrival and front porch, creating a welcoming vibe while promoting a sense of community engagement - a thoughtful option for new neighborhoods complimenting the expansion of existing neighborhoods through rear and side year ADU options. https://lnkd.in/gZa_cmRk ActivePure RHEIA, LLC Greenheck Group Allegheny Structural Components Inc.

Where Innovation Meets Action
About us
At the Alliance, we’re not in the business of buzz. We create a vision for the future of housing and then make it happen. How are we doing it? By creating conversations and then taking action that’s focused on what can actually be done, not just dreamed up in a think tank. We’re not taking a sledgehammer to the industry. We’re using a red pen and revising our industry’s approach to creating innovation. Real, tangible changes that production builders can make in the next few years without taking our eyes off what comes after that. So if you’re interested in helping us create what the future of our industry looks like — grab a pen and let’s get to work. The Alliance. Where innovation meets action.

The construction industry faces a significant skilled labor shortage, a complex issue driven by multiple factors. These factors, according to the study, include: ✔ The industry may not be attracting young people due to factors like perception or lack of awareness. ✔ The construction workforce remains heavily male. ✔ Historically, immigration has played a role in filling construction jobs, but this trend may be changing. The Picket Fence Concept Home, with its focus on innovative construction methods, building systems and materials, presents a unique opportunity to address the ongoing skilled labor shortage in the construction industry.

Home prices are at an all-time high and a record number of renters are spending at least half their income on housing, according to a new Harvard University report. Just one in seven households that are renting can now afford the typical cost of a first home. High interest rates, supply constraints and growth in home insurance premiums are all driving housing costs. We need to be creative in how we design homes and communities, incorporating opportunities to improve quality of life while reducing lifestyle costs. https://lnkd.in/gUhZKE49

Through our recent Actionable AI for Homebuilding panel session at last month's Summit, we explored use cases from a variety of industry perspectives to set the stage for future knowledge sharing on this subject. Here are a few things that we'll be following up on: ✔ AI's Role: AI offers solutions throughout a project's lifecycle, from design and planning to construction and management. ✔Benefits: It can generate and assess new project approaches quickly while capturing feasibility feedback across stakeholder groups. It can address challenges like talent shortages, cost overruns, and safety. ✔Applications: AI can optimize designs, improve project management, enhance quality control, drive supply chain decisions, and predict maintenance needs. ✔Impact on Jobs: AI is unlikely to replace the workforce entirely; instead, it will transform roles and require upskilling for human-AI collaboration.
