Why we build the same floorplan over and over again:1) Easier for Trades and Faster Build Times: Our trades have been working on the same layouts repeatedly, so they have become more efficient.2) Less Mental Space for Decisions: We don’t spend too much time deciding on which floorplan to build, we focus our time on growing the business and serving our customers.3) Best ROI based on Square Footage: The floorplan we build gives us the best return on investment.
