I would also say that once you understand different exit strategies, you get better at asking questions to better understand the sellers true motivation to sell.

But when you can create new versions of the plans in minutes and play with sizes of the rooms, closets, hallways, reposition your kitchen cabinets, vanities, showers, etc -- you can find ways to use your space with more efficiency than you ever thought possible.

Newer and newer requirements are becoming mandatory slowly in design be it high energy efficiency, material which gives more light-air but blocks noise pollution, unhindered connectivity, better insulation, common areas designed for privacy.Which trends you think will be in future of construction specially in term of Design phase and Materials which will allow designers and developers to deliver future requirements.
