A Builder's Guide to Marketable Affordable Durable Entry-Level Homes to Last

Builders will learn how to successfully provide Marketable, Affordable, Durable, Entry-Level (MADE) homes for first time buyers, work force heroes, empty nesters, and the millions of Americans seeking affordable housing. The MADE manual will provide builders with the tools necessary to market affordable housing to the entry-level buyer, successful techniques for building affordable durable housing, and methods to define homebuyers' expectations and fulfill their needs both before and after the sale. Preliminary plans illustrating how many of these techniques fit into a MADE-to-last demonstration home are also included. These plans were used to build four MADE houses in the NAHB National Research Home Park in Upper Marlboro, Md.
