Ya designing the house is easy. People like doing it, there’s 100’s of templates out there, anyone with any experience can design them as performative or descriptive.
The idea that one pre-designed house will save time in approvals is nonsense. The whole problem is the one pre-designed house is going to get rejected for a 100 different reasons throughout Canada.
Maybe if these houses somehow came with the stipulation that a municipality cannot deny these houses. Then ya, that would be a thing. Bylaws don’t apply to these(parking/setbacks), it skips these development/permit steps, architectural controls are bypassed.
Then ya, one of these pre-designed houses could be hundreds of thousands cheaper. As of now, meh.
I thought that was pretty much common sense. Obviously a common design on its own isnt actually going to solve the housing crisis. But it’s also obviously just one piece of the puzzle.
Having a standard design means that individuals and smaller developers can more easily build homes because those designs are already pre-approved, and because they don’t have to go spend thousands of dollars on an architect/designer to go design the home for them.
Having a standard design means that prefabricated and nodular housing developers can create no/little waste kits for a specific design. When placing orders it means you know exactly how much of what you should order for a build.
Having a standardized design means that building inspectors can learn all the quirks for a single design and can more quickly inspect them because they know the ins-and-outs. And it means that builders can get a feel for how a specific design is built, letting them learn to optimize how they work, and set better schedules.
These gains aren’t nothing. They let developers work faster and more efficiently overtime. But that alone won’t solve the housing crisis. The solution to the housing crisis is building more homes, and to do that there is a whole host of other problems you also need to solve from zoning to finance to sales.
