ABSTRACT

Chapter 15 discusses the market for bluefield housing, focussing on the residential construction sector’s largest participants: homeowners, domestic builders, architects, residential developers, and home lenders. Land titling to mitigate undesirable land division is discussed, along with the model’s ability to be flexible over time, enabling a project to be strategically staged to anticipate future needs and to be scaled back should a single-family home be required. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the importance of Written Family Agreements for shared family living and an example Resident Agreement for small-scale collaborative housing.
