Our home is on the market right now and absolutely no one has asked about it’s construction or mechanical systems. It boggles his mind. When an architect creates a home for his family it needs to be economical to maintain and live in, they don’t make all that much money. A good Architect is very careful about it’s construction, trying to lure the most anal retentive construction professionals to do the work. “Pretty”, “stunning”, all the touchy-feely stuff isn’t enough.

I feel sorry for those who don’t know what to look for.

Pay only what you can aford for a home is a strong school district that is well constructed. ‘Nuf said.
