“ The downsizing trend has disappeared, while the average size of our homes has greatly increased over the last few years. I also see a big increase in the number of clients looking to build contemporary, modern-style homes rather than the more traditional or coastal style homes.
Working smarter
“ This is in part because of the modern style architecture but it also helps exceed the very demanding hurricane building codes in our area. All four of our current projects will be built on deep foundations with auger cast piling, structural slabs, precast concrete second-floor systems and precast concrete roofs instead of wood joists and wood trusses. Every exterior component or cladding on the home is required to be impact rated for hurricanes.

“ Another popular interior design trend in our homes is the use of porcelain slabs. These manmade slabs are now widely used for countertops, fireplaces, shower walls, backsplashes, and accent walls instead of natural stone.”
Looking forward, Roger concludes with the company’ s ambitions for the coming year:“ I am always searching to find new ways to work smarter and to be more efficient with my time. One of my goals this year is to implement new software to help streamline tasks, track change orders, scheduling, and improve overall communication with subs and clients. I also want to continue improving our website and our social media presence. And, of course, continue to grow the business and our long-standing reputation for building quality custom homes.” ■
