@bobbyfijan Any ideas on how we can shift the timeline of investors? Absent that, it’s always going to be an uphill struggle for ‘beauty,’ however one defines it.
@mwmoedinger 💯 agree. Bidding has been far more labor intensive on the architectural side. More Qs. More value mgmt. Tough time to ask for add services even though warranted. Mech and site are hardest right now for us.
@mu2myoc All true, but the story is incomplete without acknowledging the role of redlined suburbs and the ‘white flight’ they engendered. Great post, reform of affordable housing funding is needed!
@ScottFarbman I’ve been told by engineers that we’ll have to locate these in fire rated and ventilated shafts. Crazy expensive and infeasible. Change is hard!
@ScottFarbman Agree with all of this. But I also want to acknowledge that the upcoming refrigerant change is creating challenges on my projects. The new refrigerant is lower GWP, but also mildly flammable. TBD on what that means for our line sets.
