Top selling floor designs by The Harder Organization, allows our clients who are mainly volume builders to be on the forefront for innovate floor plan designs.  The Harder Organization, residential design and land planning is providing concept floor plan designs that have been proven to be the best selling floor plans in the nations metropolitan areas.  We do think that innovative floor plan designs are very important to increase sales of homes for our clients.  For instance, we design homes for builders in two different cities which are showing increased sales results in their markets.

In planning, The Harder Organization emphasizes the importance  to its clients in staying ahead with latest trends and designs to separate them from other builders.  Memory points are very important for potential buyers seeing furnished model homes.  The buyer has probably viewed eight to ten furnished model homes and the builder better implements a design element in their homes the separate them from other builders.  These are memory points that buyers can remember seeing at the furnished model homes.

The Harder Organization also feels it is very important for our builders to provide front exterior elevations that are different than other builders.  We provider steeper roof pitches at the entry porches, more brick patterns, brick and stone combinations and treatments of wood timbers which allows for a better curb appeal.

Alternative floor plan designs allows great flexibility of the floor plan design.  Space usage such  as wall removals which allows greater flexibility of floor plan designs to capture all buyers markets.  It could be a move up market, downsizing, empty nesters, first time buyers.  The allows the buyer to have greater flexibility in the usage of the spaces.

Buyers today are looking for a home that meets their individual lifestyle.   They want to feel like they are buying their own individual home.

Many of our clients here at The Harder Organization are some of the top largest production home builders nationwide.  For these clients, we have to be innovative in design by allowing greater flexibility for the use of the floor plan design.   For instance, many of our spaces such as formal dining rooms can be converted to a media space that is close to the kitchen.  With emphasis on a larger eating area in the kitchen that allows the home to offer one dining with a media room.  Many of the fourth bedrooms can be converted to home offices.  Our kitchens are designed to provide slide in appliances or built in appliances. This allows the builder to have greater flexibility in pricing of the homes.  Additionally some of the homes we design will have a two story great room(family room) and above it we will allow an option to floor that space in for a media room upstairs.  In this particular case we will provide designs to allow step-up into the media room as much as two feet that allows the great room below to have a two foot higher ceiling than the standard first floor ceiling.

Our homes are designed with swing space options which does not impact the existing square footage.  In some cases we have expanded square footage options.  For example, we can add an expanded 5th bedroom and bathroom which adds additional square footage the base square footage of the home.  Three car tandem garage allows additional square footage within the base squre footage of the house.  A home buyer can buy a two car garage and incorporate the third car tandem space with alternative living square footage of the house.

The Harder Organization is experiencing with our clients now is to help minimize floor plan designs for volume builders but allow for different finish outs to meet the prices for each community.
