This means the roof rises .6 inches for every foot of horizontal distance.

Essentially, they are building horizontal multifamily projects. 

Construction costs for a project this large costed me about $150 per sq ft for the buildings and another $17 per sq ft for the horizontal work and offsites, so $167 total cost per sq ft. 

If it was horizontal, you would have a bigger problem.

I’m wanting to cover this window in my home and shutters won’t fit and blinds might look weird. What would you recommend doing? Really appreciate all advice!

Yes the primary plan would be to demo the current structure, however, we are also exploring the option of expanding, but in order to take advantage of the full FAR, it would require, horizontal, vertical and lateral expansions. 

The skeleton could be either wood or metal studs, usually horizontal to the ground if non load bearing and just holding a partition between units.  

Depending on how bad is the foundation state (how many inches you have to correct), is very possible the sewer line will disconnect/break in the horizontal portions.

yes in my case in the same subdivision they also hold the senior debt on the land that we took out to build the infrastructure so their vertical loans takes out their horizontal loans.. but you have to have sales success to access more than 12 vertical loans.
