Lake City, Colo., May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Are you ready to harness the upside of a titanic transformation in the housing industry and reap financial rewards for building the highest quality homes? Join Green Builder Media and Sam Rashkin on June 3 for the kickoff of the next set of workshops based on Rashkin’s proven Housing 2.0 model.
The five-part workshop series will present a framework for building professionals to extract 25% to 65% cost savings for every new home built. This includes three-hour virtual workshops offered over five weeks. Here are the dates for this series: June 3, 10, 17, 24, and July 1.
Participants get a copy of Rashkin’s Housing 2.0: Home is Where Life Happens book and the opportunity to participate in action groups, which are small, collaborative groups that meet quarterly to optimize the Housing 2.0 framework, apply it to actual projects, and share results, with the goal of enhancing participants’ business results.
The program also includes ongoing courses by industry influencers and subject matter experts. These are designed to provide supplementary information and expand on the Housing 2.0 fundamentals offered in one-hour virtual courses:
- Course 1: Preparing for Disruption
- Course 2: Demystifying Zero
- Course 3: Healthy Homes
- Course 4: Disruptive Technologies
- Course 5: Biophilic Design
- Course 6: Housing 2.0 case studies and lessons learned
The first five-part workshop just ended. Participants included representatives from leading builders like Meritage Homes, Richmond America, Thrive Homes, and Mandalay Homes. Here’s what a couple of participants had to say about the program:
"I just completed your Housing 2.0 workshop. I found the workshop to be fantastic. Extremely informative, well organized, and educational. My background comes from larger builders where knowledge about health, energy, sustainability, etc. was not that important at the time. Thanks a lot for the opportunity to participate in the workshops. I look forward to attending more of them in the future. Again, very well done." —Doyle Dudley, Director of Purchasing, Thrive Home Builder
"The bottom line for me is: We had created what we thought was a great development in, but we were able to make it even better because of what we learned in the Housing 2.0 program. I'm excited to apply what we learned to the development projects we're just beginning." —Nick Lerek, Darlington & Associates LLC, Santa Fe area developer
