    Building Better Neighborhoods with Richard Harrison

    Lunch provided by:


    This extensive interactive workshop as three parts:

    Part One:

    The first section of Part One covers common problems with the home building and land development industry as it stands today:

                Market differentiation.

                    Limitations with existing regulations.

                    Submittal requirements that have not changed much in centuries.

                    How too much CAD automation (A.I.) has destroyed design and innovation.

                    Unintentional waste in land development design – why it exists.

    Thinking differently:

                H.I. (Human Intelligence) trumps A.I.

                    How to recognize unintentional waste in land development.

                    How the cookie-cutter grid limits innovation and progress cured by new geometric models.

                    Coving: A form of neighborhood design that reduces infrastructure an average of 25%.

                                    Gaining efficiency by exceeding existing regulatory minimums.

                                    Reduced infrastructure (length) = larger & more valuable lots and residential space.

                                    How to recognize waste due to regulations and actions to resolve the waste.

                    Walkability sells homes – introducing a new era of walkability with increased safety.

                                    A streetscape in motion – meandering walks and setbacks eliminate monotony.

                                    How trails can be used for emergency vehicles (reduce excess streets)

                    Drivability reduces both time and energy with new internal street modeling.

                                    How ‘flow’ matters in the design of developments.

                                    A main street approach to residential pods.

                    Showcasing and pull-back:

                                    Reducing (or eliminating) home rears along arterial streets.

                                    Increasing the number of premium locations by expanding views.

                    Density Magic – a slight of hand approach to increase density 5% to 10%.

                    Earthwork matters – why balancing volume should be a part of the initial concept stage.

    BREAK

    Part Two:

    Architectural innovations for better growth, marketing, and increased profits:

               The latest trends in housing – not necessarily progress:

                                    How to recognize unintentional waste in higher density single family residential.

                                    Why new forms of design and development limit or reduce value and livability.

                    Merging planning and architecture is key to a new era of design with greater value:

                                    New forms of higher density design with a lower density feel.

                                    Spatial blending merges interior and exterior spaces – expansive views.

                                    Planning interior spaces as a function of the neighborhood design.

                                                    Introducing the ‘BayHome’ concept.

                                    Examples of Next Generation BayHome development including Texas.

                    Next Generation Townhome and Multifamily design:

                                    Attached townhomes with panoramic views.

                                    Multifamily alternatives that eliminate monotony and increase premium units.

                    Architectural Shaping:

                                    Design that eliminates problems with higher density single family and duplex.

                    Reinventing the process of neighborhood design:

                                    A ‘systems’ approach creates functional, attractive, and attainable neighborhoods.

                                    Environmental Density measures and communicates design waste.

                    Next Generation of Master Planned Communities:

                                    Reversing the transitional zoning to solve land use issues & increase value.

          Becoming a land developer is not for the meek. But successful land development can substantially increase revenue and profit for smaller builders. This course will introduce participants to the land acquisition and development process and explore the crucial first steps to becoming a successful developer. You will develop strategies for finding land development opportunities for small projects (two to 50 lots) and discuss which business structure is best for your business. Participants will get a balanced perspective on what it takes to develop land and, more importantly, learn approaches to limit risk and maximize profits. The level of content in this course is for the novice learner.

          What to expect from this course:

          • You will be introduced to the land acquisition and development process and review the first five steps of this eight-step process: finding land, market analysis, tying up land/preliminary investigation, concept plans and due diligence.
          • As a building professional who is new to the land development business, you will develop strategies for finding land development opportunities for small building projects (2 – 50 lots) by examining real-world examples.
          • And you will have the opportunity to review key business structures and financing options for running a small volume land development business.

          Who Should Take this Course?

          This course is primarily targeted at small volume and custom home builders.
