Prevailing building codes that require two separate stairwells in multifamily buildings taller than three stories are stymieing development of affordable housing, according to some design and construction professionals. https://loom.ly/nNXujk4

Prevailing building codes that require two separate stairwells in multifamily buildings taller than three stories are stymieing development of affordable housing, according to some design and construction professionals. The two-stairwell rule forces developers to allot more square footage to stairs, which removes space for living areas. That wasted space can be enough to make a project financially non-viable. The impetus for two stairways in five-to-six-story buildings—fire safety—can be addressed with fire-stopping materials, sprinkler systems, and limits on the number of units, according to advocates of single-stairwell regulations. This would emulate codes in many European and Asian countries that have allowed single-stair development for decades. #development #buildings #infill #hosuing

Modular construction isn’t just faster — it’s more cost-effective too. 💰🏗️ By completing projects in a fraction of the time, you’re earlier to occupancy, which means early revenue generation for properties like hotels and multifamily housing. Plus, when modular is done right, you achieve cost savings across the entire construction process — from reduced labor costs to minimized on-site delays. 📈⏱️ Curious to see how modular can impact your project’s bottom line?
