2023 Insights | Build cheaper with better design!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In today’s environment of higher construction costs, optimizing building efficiency is crucial. Unnecessary wasted space resulting in the loss of rentable square footage can significantly impede the financial return on investment. Meet the market demand while maximizing investment returns, read on!

I have a project I’d like to discuss

 

Achieving higher efficiency directly translates to a higher return on investment.

Higher efficiency equals higher ROI!

The efficiency factor, also known as the core factor, represents the share of net rentable square feet to the total gross square feet of a building. The net rentable square footage can be computed for an entire building or a single floor. Below is an example:

If an apartment building with 100,000 square feet of gross area has 85,000 square feet of actual rentable space – The building would have a building efficiency ratio of 0.85 (85%).

This can be accomplished by working on your layout!

  • Creativity with space planning and unit layouts/types is the best way to achieve this objective. You need design partners who understand how to create an efficient and high-quality living space with experience nationwide.
