ES Project
Recommandations
- Include Builder and Developer Early
- The Drake Landing builder and land developer were included in the project planning process from the beginning. It helped build confidence in the project regarding the market acceptance of the unfamiliar technologies being applied.
- Homeowner Satisfaction
- The Drake Landing homes were all sold in a reasonable time period. People who live in the community have opened their homes to people from over 20 countries around the world as far away as South Korea, China and Chile. Drake Landing house values have increased in step with conventional homes in the area. The builder, the utility, the land developer and the municipality have all expressed interest in participating in the implementation of similar projects in the future.
- It Is Essential To Have Committed Partners
- In significant projects, unexpected issues will almost certainly arise. However, with high levels of dedication and commitment, teams can identify acceptable paths forward. Some of the unexpected issues the Drake Landing team faced included severe construction site flooding, lower than expected reliability for some conventional equipment and some components that didn’t perform to specification.
