Homeowners spaces that extend the square footage of the home . Covered patios , outdoor kitchens , fire pits and sustainable landscaping all add immense value to the property and the dwellers ’ quality of life . Home designs must also prioritize health and wellness in other areas of the home , such as indoor air quality systems , dedicated exercise spaces and biophilic elements that connect homeowners with nature .
Trends to be on the lookout for in 2024 and beyond :
4 . Specialized materials Alongside sustainable materials , homeowners are also looking to specialized materials that enhance durability and aesthetics . Reclaimed wood , low VOC paints and recycled glass countertops , for example , are all in high demand because they are eco-friendly and add a unique aesthetic .
5 . Flexible spaces With more people working remotely , the demand for flexible and adaptable spaces is on the rise . Homeowners want spaces that can become home offices , gyms , or multifunctional areas that can evolve to meet their changing needs . As builders take on more and more projects , it is important to keep in mind that homeowners want spaces that they can curate to fit their lifestyles and careers without compromising on aesthetics or wellbeing .
All of these trends are very important considerations for potential homeowners , or anyone wanting to invest in a new build , and ones that homebuilders should keep in mind as they navigate the real estate market and their client relationships this year . As prospective homeowners look to partner with the right development company , it is important they partner with a trusted organization to ensure they are prepared to overcome many of the challenges that accompany a new build . Labor shortages , supply chain disruptions and regulatory hurdles can play havoc with timelines and costs .
Those looking to enter the new home build process can work with a company that understands the needs of builders , regulations and skillsets so they can focus solely on their new home with peace of mind and let their imagination run free . The most important thing to remember is that homeowners want to work with a company that will build more than their home . That home will be their dream and hopefully exceed expectations and deliver excellence at every corner , turn and sustainable surface . That way , homeowners can move in with a sense of accomplishment , knowing that the new build they wanted is the home they planned for . ■
6 . Modular and prefabricated construction Labor shortages , rising construction costs and limited time are all factors contributing to a shift towards more modular and prefabricated construction methods . These are very likely to gain traction and popularity over the next year as they are quick to build , cost-effective and can be customized in multiple ways to suit homeowner needs .
