This review of the Valdosta, Ga., affordable housing joint venture demonstration project describes its history and the project's administrative aspects, site development, and building design and construction innovations; costs are also detailed. A total of 90 single-family homes were built on a 15.42-acre site originally platted for 45 homes. The eight different models cost from $42,500 to $46,500 and range in size from 924 square feet to 1,260 square feet. By increasing the density, using innovative building methods, and taking advantage of the shortened processing time, the builder was able to save $9,685 per unit. Optimum value engineered (OVE) construction, which used features such as 24-inch module framing, 2-stud corners with metal wall board backup clips, and roof trusses bearing directly over studs, enhanced cost reduction. All roofs were constructed at either 4-in-12 or 6-in-12 pitch with a 16-inch overhang. Roof gutters were added cost options. All foundations were monolithic slab-on-grade; welded wire mesh and the two steel reinforcing footing rods were eliminated without weakening the foundation. Clustering the kitchen, bath, and laundry reduced both material and labor costs for plumbing. All homes have R-30 ceiling and R-19 exterior wall insulation as well as attic ventilation; the 16-inch roof overhang provides summer shade. Material delivery scheduling minimized material handling, waste, and pilferage. Diagrams, photos, and tabular data are provided.
