The secret of cost saving for single family houses

After reviewing more than 4000 projects in the City of Calgary, I found all the projects having space to save construction cost for complying with the building code, even if they are single family houses. Here I'd like to give you two hints for saving. It happens to all the houses, 100%, the amount of money wasted by builders are more than millions every year.


Spend money on foundations for doing nothing.

Spend money on garages for making it worse.


Sorry I can't say anything more than this. It is a secret and worth millions. If you know it, please share your thoughts.

Do you have questions about Calgary Green Line Plan?

 Do you have questions about Calgary Green Line Plan?


Calgary Green Line Plan should be questioned. I should write 10 papers to question this project if I were working in the university.

There are already two lines meeting at crowded 7th Ave. Why do we put a third line on it?

Do you see the Ctrains are always empty, except for rushing hours?

Do you see the Downton is a ghost city, except for working hours?

Green Line should be an opportunity for expanding the City center.

Green Line should be an engine to bring life to Calgary.

Green Line shall be more cost effective by not have to face engineering challenges in the jungle of highrise buildings.

It will be a nightmare when the tunnel machine has to go through tiebacks and when the highrise buildings start to settle.
