Chip -- 4d Yikes. With any industry, you can only quality check what your willing to understand. People should consider keeping their homes as simple as they are willing to learn about… not to say your buddy deserved McDs - just that “build be new house” doesn’t necessarily equal “build be good house”… and trust in developers should be low. replyYikes.

There’s another super -dense housing development going up around here.Peak ridiculousness:Each $450,000 townhouse will have…….1.25 parking spacesSince not everyone drives a motorcycle or a fold-up bicycle, what will park in a 1/4 size parking space?#plebchain
K wait. Are you talking about the parking allotted to the entire complex? 1.25 is not an uncommon parkingallotment to use when designing parking lots.
Its going to be a really large apartment complex, so i guess it would be for the entire lot. I had no idea that1.25 was a common allotment. I’ll post pictures when it’s finished. Thanks for shedding some light on that!
No problem - I can understand that Engineering factors sound ridiculous if you apply them literally to eachstall. Thankfully that’s not how parking is designed. Depending on zoning requirements and use of residents (ieseniors complexes or central locations usually allow for lower parking) I’ve seen 0.25-2 as a range.
The weird thing is that most of the “communities” around here are townhouses - everything looks like a huge wallof particle board at first, then a couple days later they transition into “townhouses” or “apartments” that areeither light blue, gray, light tan, or white. Everything looks so similar!https://image.nostr.build/0f5517758a9bc1ae092752446cd3c42df38e5957223aa098cdc7dc9f02a91f68.jpg
Yeah, exterior sheeting being OSB instead of Plywood sucks, but it’s basically industry standard now. Uniformityis such a disaster - sorry you’re swimming in that.
A friend bought a condo built by the same developer brand new 10 years ago for $250k and already had to have hisa/c system overhauled, the hvac guys told him his system was the cheapest quality they’d ever seen. Basically“if your system was food, it’d be Mickey D’s”.
