This document discusses the "Too Big to Fail" (TBTF) policy and debates around regulating large financial institutions. It provides background on the 2008 bank bailouts and the 1984 Continental Illinois bank failure. The author analyzes data on the largest US banks to test whether a bank's number of offices or ability to accept interstate deposits correlates more with asset accumulation. Regression results provide some support that interstate deposits and offices are more important for the largest banks, though the relationships vary across analyses. The author concludes that limiting bank size directly, rather than just monitoring risk, could help address issues caused by the TBTF policy. Future research controlling for other factors like economies of scale is suggested.

Executive Summary
Walkers Bluff is a 197 Unit development located in Decatur, GA, a suburb just outside of Atlanta.
Decatur hosts the feel of a suburb, while still retaining proximity to the urban core of Atlanta. De-
catur is home to many parks and recreational facilities as well as Emory University and Hospital.
The area is expanding as more people want to stay close to the city without sacrificing a tradition-
al style of living.

ties for residents to take advantage of.
Osprey Builders will acquire the land on February 1st 2017 for $45,800,000 and start developing
the land immediately. Assuming our market projections hold true, Walkers Bluff will be fully
built and sold by the end of the 2nd quarter of 2020. We have broken down construction into 5 Dif-
ferent phases to minimize cost and mitigate risk. Phase 1A will begin 22 single family lots and
Phase 1B all of our townhome units. Phase 2-5 will be the remaining single family homes. Phase
1B will be in development concurrently with other single family phases.
The Walkers Bluff development is a for-sale development that requires a total investment equity

BuildersSite, Zoning, and Soils
The project site is located in DeKalb County, Georgia, roughly ten miles northeast
of Downtown Atlanta and falls within the city of Decatur. Decatur’s proximity to
Atlanta makes this an exciting opportunity for Osprey Builders as the population
grows and changes with that of Atlanta.
Zoning
According to Dekalb County Code of Ordinances, the site lies within Divisions 14 and 16. These
divisions are RM-100, which is Multifamily Residential.
Multifamily Residential District Regulations
To provide for the development of multifamily neighborhoods within the county at a density of
twelve units per acre where so designated on the comprehensive plan.
To provide for infill development in multifamily neighborhoods having density of twelve
dwelling units per acre in a manner compatible with existing development.
To assure that the users and structures authorized in the Multifamily Residential District are
those uses and structures designed to serve the housing, recreational, educational, religious, and
social needs of the neighborhood.
Soils
Based on the completed subsurface exploration, the United Environmental Services did not
find adverse geotechnical considerations that would affect the construction of the proposed
residential structures on shallow foundations.
Geotechnical considerations found that approximately 3 to 12 feet of soft loose existing fill
soils with trace to some organics below grade in thirteen boring locations. Depending on final
design grades, these materials should be stabilized with heavy duty geogrid or geotextiles
and re-compacted per the Geotechnical Engineer’s recommendations at the time of
construction. The organic laden fills should be removed and replaced with structural fill.

BuildersEmployment
One of the strongest draws to this location is the proximity to Emory University
and Emory Hospital, who are some of the top employers for the city.
Currently the unemployment rate is at 6.8%, with a future employment growth
rate of 1.77% and a 10 year projected growth of 36%.
The projected growth of the area is tied to the current construction project that
is expanding Emory University Hospital. The new J-Wing will expand the
hospital by 450,000 square-feet and the hospitals CEO Bryce Gartland says it
will “create more than 500 new jobs for nursing staff,
radiology and surgical technicians, and many other
hospital staff.”

BuildersMethodology and CMA
Methodology
To gather the data for our analysis on DeKalb, we
used Gale Cengage Library Database as well as
census findings.
Population Prediction
The population of DeKalb county is predicted to increase from the 691,891 that
inhabited this county in 2010, to about 764,028 in 2021. This is an increase of
10.43% within eleven years.
Current DeKalb County Statistics
Population 764,871
Median Age 34
Male Population 47.5%
Female Population 52.5%
Median Household Income $50,799
GA Median Household Income $47,829
Competitive Market Area
We defined the CMA to be the entire county of
DeKalb, Georgia and more specifically North
Druid Hills. Given the significant variation
between counties in the Greater Atlanta Area,
focusing on DeKalb and North Druid Hills allows
us to determine the most specific competition and
target audience for this development.

Young City Solos
Young City Solos contain younger and middle-aged singles living in city
neighborhoods. More than 90 percent are unmarried. Most are in their 30’s
and 40’s who are childless, part of a demographic trend of delaying
marriage while living alone or cohabitating with a partner. While economic
insecurity is one reason some singles avoid marriage and having children,
these young professionals report above-average incomes topping $74,000 a
year, and they seem to be thoroughly enjoying their unattached status.
Demographic Traits
Age of Owners: 25 - 40
Average Income: $50,000 - $74,000
Presence of Children: None
Suburban Style
Suburban Style is filled with ethnically-mixed, middle-aged couples and
families with children enjoying upscale lifestyles. Concentrated in suburban
neighborhoods, these households are in the middle childrearing phase of their
lives, coping with growing families, mid-level careers and monthly mortgage
payments. They're happy to be bringing up their children in these middle-
ring suburbs known for quiet streets and short commutes to in-town jobs.

Booming With Confidence
Booming with Confidence contain married couples in their peak earning
years and approaching retirement. Many of the households have dual
incomes and few children, allowing them to afford fashionable homes on
small, manicured yards in city and suburban neighborhoods. Having made a
conscious effort to distance themselves from the noise and chaos of the urban
core, they've retreated to the quiet and predominantly white homogeneity of
desirable neighborhoods only a short commute from their jobs.
Demographic Traits
Age of Owners: 66—75
Average Income: $100,000—$124,000
Presence of Children: Moved Out
Thriving Boomers
Thriving Boomers feature empty-nesting couples in their 50s and 60s who long
ago fled the cities for quiet towns and upper middle-class resort communities.
Most of the households contain childless couples who've lived at the same
address for over a decade and are now beginning to contemplate their
retirement. Others are more recent arrivals who've left large homes in bedroom
suburbs to downsize to more manageable houses and condos. While some of
their peers have migrated to active retirement communities, these folks are
content to live in their mixed-age neighborhoods, not to mention their mixed-
aged households: one-quarter has an aged parent or young adult living at home.

BuildersMarket Analysis Summary
Amenities and Detractors
Some local amenities of North Druid Hills are the day and night time attractions for
all age groups and all walks of life. It is close to I-85 as well as other major
roadways and shopping centers. This region also has beautiful hills, an enjoyable
climate, and growing employment opportunities. One major detractor could be
transportation delays in Atlanta due to traffic.
Demand
In our analysis of the population in North Druid Hills, Osprey Builders finds that
the market is in need of affordable, quality
townhomes that appeal to young professionals,
small families, as well as couples who are
downsizing and are now empty-nesters. The single
family homes attract the suburban families as well
as aging couples.
Key Competitors and Current Projects in Region
On our trip to Atlanta, we got to take a first-hand look at the area. We were able to
visit other, upcoming development sites and found that Townsend at Toco Hills,
The Mews at North Decatur, and Towns at Druid Hills were are largest
competition for townhomes. Our immediate competition for single family homes
include Atwater by John Weiland Hoes and Highpointe by the Providence group.
Current Sales Quantity and Future Trends
With a new home inventory of 771 homes, the sales averaged at 107 homes a month
in DeKalb. With our comprehensive analysis of the market we have predicted that
as the population increases in the area the inventory of new homes per capita will
decrease. This trend will make our community very desirable in our coming sale
years.

BuildersSite Plan Overview
Walkers Bluff is located in the prized Atlanta suburb of Decatur and boasts direct access to Ma-
son Mill Dog Park as well as an elevated boardwalk that leads to the adjacent Mason Mill Recre-
ation Center with 2 playgrounds, picnic areas, a dog park, tennis center, recreation center and
nature trails. Walkers Bluff offers homebuyers convenient access to commuting arteries includ-
ing I-85 and I-285, as well as a Marta Bus Stop within walking distance. In addition to all of the
existing local amenities that this lovely Decatur neighborhood has to offer, Ospreys Builders
plans to revitalize the community aquatic center as well as provide a new community garden
for residents. Onsite improvements and amenities will compliment the newly built, elevated
walkway connecting Mason Mill Dog Park with the adjacent Mason Mill Recreation Center. By
maintaining the natural flow of this unique site and inviting residents to access a variety of
outdoor amenities, Osprey Builders hopes to provide homebuyers every opportunity to live
their life outdoors and on foot; Walkers Bluff is defined by Walkability.
44. University of North Florida 44 2017 RCMC Four Year Program

Osprey
BuildersSite Utilization
Walkers Bluff consists of 100 luxury flats, 40 townhomes and 57 single-family homes. This lay-
out promotes walkability and a strong sense of community in a large city where privacy and
individuality are uncommon in this price range. In order to provide a level of privacy and to
control development costs, the proposed site design utilizes the existing topography and natu-
ral flow of the land to create a unique living environment.
Osprey Builders takes great pride in offering quality products that are both attractive and feasi-
ble. The proposed infill development is comprised of 3 separate product types, aquatic center
renovations, a community garden and detention ponds spread across the site. Zoning regula-
tions allow for 12 dwellings per acre and Osprey Builders is proposing an average of 6 dwell-
ings per acre over the 32.5 acre site.

BuildersPhasing Plan
The phasing of Walkers Bluff is designed to provide residents quick and easy access to natural amenities
on and around the property.
Phase 1A builds out the area nearest to the aquatic center in order to minimize construction traffic
around the largest on-site amenity. Starting concurrently with single family homes in Phase 1A, Phase
1B will consist of Townhomes and Stacked Flats. The ability to offer multiple product types in a single
community attracts a variety of buyers and will help capture many segments of the local market.
Phase 1B begins in the south end of the tract and grows northward, towards N. Druid Hills Rd.
Building from south to north in this parcel allows the first residents convenient access to the
Community Gardens and Aquatic Center while restricting construction traffic to the north entrance.
This growth maximizes safety and minimizes disturbance of everyone living and working at Walkers
Bluff.
Phase 2 brings single family homes to the most secluded corner of the property where home buyers
enjoy complete privacy and security without sacrificing convenience to the Dog Park and Aquatic
Center. The design of Phase 2 is influenced by existing utility setbacks and varying terrain, but flows
wistfully down to the elevated boardwalk and observation tower just south of the property.
Following Phase 2, Phases 3, 4 and 5 will be developed from south to north, towards N. Druid Hills Rd.,
in the same fashion as the multifamily units in Phase 1B. The phased development of Walkers Bluff is
driven by site logistics, and maximizing resident experience and furthering the financial goals of the
company.

BuildersDevelopment Standards
The proposed lots in Walkers Bluff fully uphold local ordinances and regulations regarding
setbacks, utilities, transportation, storm water and density needs. Osprey Builders maintains
a longstanding relationship with the Dekalb County Department of Planning and
Sustainability which ensures sound adherence to all necessary zoning demands. Costs
associated with these improvements are accounted for in the land development estimate
portion of this proposal.
In the sample above, some of the dimensions the drive lot design exhibit how each lot was
carefully laid out to meet the demands of RM-75 and RM-100 zoning requirements. In
addition to meeting lot setbacks, ROW and density stipulations, Walkers Bluff is designed to
responsibly collect, transport, retain and discharge storm water. The design standards that
dictate storm water management are derived from Storm Water Management Models
(SWMM’s) conducted for this site. Some of the tactics in place to manage storm water include
retention ponds across the site, the utilization of storm swales to redirect runoff, and the
control of storm water discharge to the MS4.

Osprey
BuildersSite Management
When Osprey Builders breaks ground on the property, Georgia will have
adopted its new National Pollutant Discharge System, which aligns with the
EPA’s 2015 MSGP.
Throughout development, runoff prevention and pollution control will remain a
top priority. The 10 steps below are highlights of the Osprey Builders SWPPP
that will aid in getting an NPDES for this site:
Vegetation, Infiltration, and
Existing Trees
The site plan and land development strategy maintains
existing and calls for new infiltration-based features such as
rain gardens and bioswales. These areas will be designated
as off limits to avoid compaction. Also, where possible, we
will preserve any mature trees that we can. Doing this will
reduce the amount of stabilization need and reduce the amount of runoff during construction.
Stockpiling the Soil
All soil stockpiled on site will be secured from runoff. Depending on size, the technique will
change from tarps up to silt fences.
Protection from Run-On and
Runoff
Materials that could leach pollutants will be covered daily
during construction.
Waste Disposal Areas
Our waste will have separate disposal sites for hazardous materials, construction waste and
domestic waste.
Perimeter Controls on Downhill Lot Line
Perimeter controls such as sediment filter logs or silt fences around the downhill boundaries

WB
Osprey
BuildersSite Management
Inlet Controls
Sufficient inlet controls will be implemented and maintained.
Inlet controls include sediment control logs, gravel barriers, and
sand or rock bags.
Concrete and Stucco Washout Basin
A leak-proof basin lined with plastic for washing out used concrete and stucco containers
will be on site to ensure nothing washes into the nearby environment, creek, or storm
drains.
Stabilized Exit Pad
An exit pad made of crushed rock spread over
geotextile fabric will be installed to minimize sediment
track-out from construction. If sediment track-out
occurs, it will be removed by the end of the day.

A copy of our up-to-date SWPPP will always be on-site and easily accessible, including site
maps showing where each BMP is or will be installed.
Site Stabilization
Exposed portions of the site whenever construction work will stop for 14 or more days,
even if work is only temporarily stopped, will be stabilized.
Burnt Fork Creek
Along with all of these practices, considering we are in such
close proximity to Burnt Fork Creek, we will either keep a
50 foot natural buffer to the creek or construct an equivalent
alternative to ensure the absolute safety of the US water.

community walkable and therefore appealing to a existing and developing markets. Private
and spacious lots create a very livable space which sets this community apart from all others
in the area. Finally, Walkers Bluff is both environmentally and financially sustainable as this
community builds on existing topography, utilities, infrastructure and natural grades to
forge a timeless aesthetic that can grow with residents and their families. These fundamental

Site Management
Our Project Managers and Superintendents will be responsible for site management during
construction. They will ensure that daily activities run smoothly and efficiently.
Neighboring Properties Access
With two entrances off of North Druid Hills Road there should not be any issue with access to
neighboring properties or our properties.
Resident Access
Appropriate and convenient access will be available to all residents that move in during our
early phases. With the way our road layouts are, the entrance to their community will be one
of the first things constructed in order for builders to gain access. No temporary entrances will
need to be built.
Mitigating Disturbances
Osprey Builders’ goal is to not disturb our neighbors or residents who have already moved in.
To do so, construction hours will be limited so there are no disturbance early in the morning or
late in the evening. Deliveries will be scheduled appropriately as well as to not disturb our
residents.
Project Management Staffing
Osprey Builders only employs the most knowledgeable and qualified people to be a part of the
team. Our corporate structure and experience is crucial to the success of Walkers Bluff, as it
ensures quality and exemplary craftsmanship. The structure listed below allows a diverse
team to work well as a singular unit by creating a smooth chain of command.
The budget for this project accounts for ample staffing during all phases of development and
construction. Due to the phasing of Walkers Ridge, Osprey Builders recognizes that staffing
numbers will vary over the course of development and construction processes. Our adaptive
approach accounts for seasonal variations, market swings and labor availability. Our primary,
on-site staffing standards consist of two fulltime superintendents, two assistant
superintendents and a full time construction manager. These staffing needs are separate from
those off the sales office, which will operate individually from the field. The cost of field labor
and administrative assistance in the office is covered by the 8% fixed overhead in the project
budget.

Temporary Facilities
There will be a temporary trailer for the sales office until the sales office is built in one of the
model homes. For each phase there will be a temporary construction trailer on site.
Material Delivery
Materials will be delivered through the back access of the community and stored in
undeveloped phases. Deliveries will be limited to daytime hours once residents move and
will take routes that avoid passing by homes that have already had residents move into. A
designated laydown yard will be made for each phase.
Security
We will have one security guard contracted out to patrol the site at night. Fencing along the
perimeter of the site will also help to control possible trespassing.

BuildersMarketing
Osprey Builders two main avenues for advertising will be internet based and through local
realtors. With most homebuyers, especially younger ones using the internet at some point in
their home buying search we want to ensure that our development stands out to them.
Website
With most home buyers starting out by searching on the
internet for a new home at some point, it is critical that our
product is seen by potential buyers as earlier in their
search. Osprey Builders will have a website dedicated to
the community with available floorplans, lots, price range
and contact information. We want to make it easy for
buyers to find the information they want without finding
too much that our product is eliminated before they come
see it in person or talk to a sales agent.
SEO
We plan on outsourcing a marketing firm to design our website and create a search engine
optimized platform. Within the Atlanta metro area there are many builders offering similar
products from their buyers point of view. We want to make sure that ours is one of the first
they see.
Social Media
We plan to maintain pages on multiple social media platforms to
inform followers of our current process and any specials we may
have. Our social media pages will allow followers to watch the
process of our development while gauging their interest. It also
allows for a low pressure means of contact should any of them be
interested in one of our products.
Signage
Signs will be placed around the entrances to our development with basic information as to
what we are building and the price ranges. This allows local residents and employees to see
know what is currently being built as our development is tucked away from the major roads.

BuildersMarketing
Mailings
A small portion of our budget will be allocated to mailings. This is to target a clientele that
does not actively use the internet or are local residents who are looking for an upgrade.
Billboards
To capture the market of local employees we plan to
have a billboard near Emory for employees to see on
their way to work. We will advertise what products
we are offering along with a commute time form our
site to Emory, which is where they are most likely
going. The billboard will be in the direction away
from the campus to better reach commuters who are
dreading along commute home and want a better
option.
Local Relators
We expect the majority of our sales to come from local realtors. We plan on establishing a
relationship with the local relaters with catered breakfast meetings which can allow us to
inform them of new developments within our community. We will also offer a $1000 bonus
to the realtor with the most home sales in our community at the end of each phase. Local
relators will receive 3% for closings .
Model Homes
The Hillcrest and The Williamsburg will serve as the two
floorplans we build. These models will feature the upgrades of
a patio and finished basement. Because we use the floorplans
as our models we expect to sell more of these floorplans and
have priced them accordingly. For our townhomes we will
build the entire unit first and have each of the 3 floorplans
serve as our models while having the rest available for sale.
Model units will be sold off at the end once all other units have been sold.

BuildersHousing Market Analysis
Competition
Local competition is offering credits for upgrades and/or discounts in closing cost when
using their partnered lender. Some have offered a free washer dyer and fridge as a closing
discount. Other competitors offer no incentives.
As an incentive to close on a home, Osprey Builders will offer $4,000 in closing cost to home
purchases that enter escrow before construction begins. Homes that have already started
construction will have a $2,000 discount off of closing cost applied them. This discount will
help encourage buyers to close in the home in our earlier stages of construction so that new
homes are filled immediately upon completion
Estimate Market Capture
We calculated that of the 107 average new homes sold a month in the Decatur area that we
can capture 10% of the market, averaging 10 homes sold a month. Of these 10 Homes we
project 4 of those will be single family homes and 6 will be townhomes and flats. With this
projection we expect to sell all homes (20) of phase 1 in 6 months. Phase 2 is expected to take
3 months to sell and phase 3, 4, and 5 to take 2 months each to sell out. Totaling 15 months to
sell all of our single family units. Our Townhome phase with 140 units selling at 6 a month is
expected to sell out in 22 months.
Optimize Cash Flow
With an initial contribution
of 45,800,000 to purchase the land
we max out our contribution at
56,524,636 before sales revenue
start to out pace the cost of devel-
opment and construction. With
our projected pace we break even
in the third quarter of 2019 end-
ing with an expected net profit of
27,038,714 in the third quarter of
2020.

Lot Premiums
Our premium lots will be sold at a slightly
higher price to reflect their higher desirability.
The townhomes and flats backing up to the
creek which gives a much more pleasant
backyard view will have a premium of $5,000.
Single Family Homes at the end of the cold-a-
sacs and corner lots will also reflect a premium
pricing as these lots are larger. Homes that are
consider waterfront with a backyard bordering
one of the retention ponds will also be sold at a
premium. We plan to sell these single family
premium lots for $10,000 extra.

Young City Solos
These are first or second time homebuyers who are
still new to the home buying process. They are most
likely to do most of their research online but still
need a realtor to help guide them through the
process. Our townhomes and stacked flats are going
to be most appealing to them.
Suburban Style
These are the buyers looking at single family
homes. They may still have kids in the house, or in
college and are looking for a home that can still
meet the needs of a family. It is likely that they
have gone through the home buying process a few
times and are more interested in building their
new home to fit their needs and style.
Booming with Confidence
These are the empty nesters looking for a downsize or change of pace now that the kids are out
of the house. They are veterans of the home
buying process and are looking for something to
better fit their needs now. Townhomes offer a
smaller, low maintenance option for them.
Smaller single family homes are also desirable
for this group as some wish to still have a yard for the grandkids to play in.
Thriving Boomers
These are the double income couples with no kids
looking to still live in proximity to an urban core
while maintaining their upscale lifestyle.
Townhomes and stacked flats are most appealing
them as they are live an active lifestyle.

Product
Osprey Builders is offering urban living with the quietness of a suburban home. The
townhomes and stacked flats offer a smaller, low maintenance option, while our single
family homes provide the yard that family’s desire
Price
Our townhomes are priced below our competitions while still offering the same level of
luxury. Our single family homes are deeply more affordable than surrounding homes. We
were able to do this because our square footage is much less and targeting a different buyer
than the competition
Place
The close proximity to downtown Atlanta and the heart of Decatur allows residents to
maintain an active lifestyle while still being able to retreat to a quiet home. Our single Family
offers working parents the ability to shorten their commute while still being able to raise
their family in a traditional suburban style neighborhood.

With closing specials and low interest mortgages on our end, buyers won’t bear as large of a

BuildersRisk Analysis
Risk Avoidance
Our team understands the importance of time and money when it comes to a development of
this scale. The proposal set before you has been carefully and meticulously planned and
reworked. Every aspect of this development has been evaluated and selected for its betterment
of Walkers Bluff. We have a conservative approach when addressing the financial feasibility of
this project. Several factors such as higher than anticipated absorptions, greater percentages of
options selected, and an increase of population in the area all could produce higher than
expected returns. We are confident the plans we have chosen will result in great prosperity;
however, due to the nature of the construction industry there is an element of risk.
Reputation Risk
The duty of providing and building an individual’s dream home is a great responsibility that
can be of risk. To mitigate risk we will conduct a preconstruction meeting as well as maintain
close contact with homeowners as their homes are being constructed to ensure their requests
and expectations will be met. We understand the importance that comes along when a
homebuyer signs a contract with our company as they are entrusting us with the responsibility
of building their matchless home. We have developed a detailed quality control plan, which
plays an important role to make sure we are meeting our expected quality standards. Ensuring
our customers leave satisfied is one of our top priorities, so once construction is complete the
homebuyers will have a quality guarantee and a survey to submit so our staff can evaluate the
process from the buyers prospective. In the construction industry, word-of-mouth as well as
customer satisfaction can make or break a sale. To enhance our team’s reputation, we will be
paying our subcontractors on time, hire the highest-quality subcontractors, and promote a
strong safety culture. This will allow the homebuyers of Walkers Bluff with the best possible
home-buying experience.
Economic Risk
The economy, on both a local and national level, plays a very important role in the success of
this project. Through very careful research, we can project where the economy will be in the
coming years; however, our projections are not guaranteed. The economy is expected to
continue to increase, but we are prepared for uncertain situations that may arise. Osprey
Builders have accounted for potential changes in inflation, loan structure, construction costs,
absorption rates, project timeline, and other costs involved with the project that could occur in
the marketplace. We will continuously analyze the current sales to allow our company to make
necessary changes to correspond with market trends. In the instance of a decline in the
economy, Osprey Builders will decrease product pricing in order to remain competitive with
other builders in the area until prices drop below 65% of our projection. If this occurs, we will
put a hold on construction until the economy rises again and our margins are back on track.

Safety Risk
Osprey Builders works diligently to promote a safety culture within our company and on our
jobsites and are proud to hold an EMR safety rating of .49, which has continued to decrease
over the past 10 years. Having a low EMR rating also allows us to be able to hold a higher
bonding capacity. We will require superintendents to hold weekly safety meetings with
subcontractors and to always keep an eye out for any potential safety hazards or violations.
Subcontractors found to be in violation of our company safety plan will be issued a written
warning for the first offense and removed from the jobsite after the second violation. We can
minimize financial risk by keeping injuries to a minimum, avoiding regulatory fines, and
practicing superior jobsite safety.
Exit Strategies
In the instance that Osprey Builders sales expectations are not being met, and Walkers Bluff
looks to be financially unaffordable, we will consider implementing the following measures to
decrease financial losses.
Stop all current and future construction if our sales drop below 35% of our estimated values.
( Construction will continue again once the economy has begun to increase. )
Any remaining, undeveloped land will be become for sale and placed on the market
Decrease product prices to allow for lower than planned absorption rates.
( In turn, the marketing budget would be increased and discounts will be offered to sell any
remaining and finished product. )
Plans will be adjusted to accommodate to the current market to meet homebuyer’s needs

BuildersQuality and Safety
Quality Control
Osprey Builders are dedicated to ensure that every home is constructed to the best standards.
While we maintain a warranty on all of our homes, our goal is that our buyers never have to
make a claim. Our construction process will be monitored strictly to ensure that our homes are
built to the highest standard. From foundation cracks to mold and mildew, Osprey Builders
takes every possible step to ensure that an issue free product is delivered to our customers. One
of the draws of Walkers Bluff is a low maintenance lifestyle and home repairs are never low
maintenance. We want our customers to be happy with their home.
Safety
At Osprey Builders we are committed to the safety of our employees. From Project Managers to
Laborers Osprey Builders wants to make sure that everyone makes it home safe at the end of
the day. To ensure a safe worksite all of our Superintendents will be up to date in OSHA
regulations and hold at minimum an OSHA 30, with the goal that they have an OSHA 500. All
subcontractors will be required to have a superintendent with at least an OSHA 10. Project
managers and superintendents will monitor safety daily when on site to ensure that everyone is
participating in safe workplace habits.
To ensure we deliver a quality product
Osprey Builders takes the following steps
A dedicated Project Management team
Detailed review of construction drawings and documents to ensure everything is built to spec
Quality and competent subcontractors

BuildersRange of Outcomes
Scenario 1 - Sell Slower
If conditions are not as favorable as projected our projected sales decrease from 10 units a
month to 8, it would trigger our Revenue to decrease as we would drop our prices slightly to
offset the duration setback and our total Cost to increase that comes with being out there long-
er than projected. We still feel we can make a substantial return on the investment, however
the duration would be about 3 quarters longer than planned and lower our IRR to approxi-
mately 15%
Scenario 2 - Sell Faster
If the conditions are favorable and sales pace goes higher than expected selling an average of
12 units a month this would drop our cost down and we would sell off all of our units about 3
quarters earlier than our projection. If market conditions are in this favorable condition we can
increase our sales price if needed but assume that the majority of buyers will opt of more up-
grades to their units, where our return is greater. This would put our IRR at about 21%

This development is a great opportunity to build a timeless product in a unique infill location in .
With an exceptionally knowledgeable team we were able to carefully design and create homes
achieving nearly 100 points over the gold level standard outlined by the NAHB green home
building guidelines. Osprey Builders will showcase the exceptional green building practices in
Walkers Bluff with the initiatives and practices outlined below. To ensure the sustainability of all
projects, Osprey Builders employs a full time NAHB Certified Green Professional on our team.
Mission Statement
Osprey Builders takes great pride in our
sustainability practices as we understand the
need to maintain and further a healthy
environment. Our goal is to minimize impact
on the earth at all phases of construction while
constructing high quality homes. To
accomplish this goal we use the most modern
building materials, practices and technologies
available.
Resource Efficiency
The average single-family home creates around 7,000 to 12,000 pounds of refuse during
construction, we will combat this waste by implementing our proven waste management plan.
This plan reduces the amount of landfill material hauled off the site saving money and caring for
our surroundings. While deconstructing the current apartment buildings we will save and reuse
or sell back any material possible. This includes: Rebar, concrete, bricks and other demolished
material. Our “reuse and recycle” approach allows the renewal of this community to be more
environmentally conscious and friendly. In addition, we routinely procure all materials that we
can from local sources, to reduce transportation distances and mitigate greenhouse gas
emissions. All materials are procured with the environment in mind; only using durable, long-
lifecycle materials and sustainable products.
Landscaping and Irrigation
To achieve sustainable landscaping in our community we plan to embed plants and trees that are
native to central Georgia. Hydrozoning is a sustainable practice that groups plants with similar
water requirement together, maximize irrigation efficiency and save water. Bio-swales and rain
gardens are scattered across the site plan to reduce the amount of pollution in the runoff water
and align our site with municipal Storm Water Management Program (SWMP)
We will use Hunter’s automatic irrigation smart controllers with rain sensors to help lower and
monitor all irrigation water usage. Community sprinklers will have a maximum flow rate of 1.2
inches per hour for turf/landscaping, along with drip irrigation where applicable. These
practices work well with the existing soil conditions and ensure maximum irrigation efficiency.

Energy Efficiency
With an average annual energy cost of $1,608 in the United States, energy efficiency is essential
and can save a homeowner upwards of 20% per year, or more. In order to craft energy efficient
homes, Osprey Builders constructs all homes to meet the standards of the NAHB –recognized ICC-700.
Some of the strategies in this code are detailed below.
Roofing
A “cool” roofing system, which consists of reflective shingles, is used to help lower energy cost
and comply with ENERGYSTAR standards.
Attic
Cathedralizing attics by using spray polyurethane and creating a tightly sealed and conditioned
attic space reduced energy lost to the environment. A radiant barrier with .05 or less emittance
as recommended by the NGBS and is standard in our building practices.
Insulation and Sealing
Sprayed polyurethane is used to insulate the walls and create a tight thermal and moisture bar-
rier throughout the home. The entirety of the envelope will be caulk sealed to limit infiltration.
A strong moisture barrier prevents water intrusion and mold growth.
Fenestration and Design
Windows are high-performance, double-pane construction with a Low-E coating. Windows and
doors have a U-Value of .30 and a SHGC of .25, per the ICC-700 and NFRC standards.
Wherever possible, lot layouts allow for homes to be orientated N/S to avoid as many possible
windows being place on the E/W orientation. Shade trees block unwanted heat transmission
into the house and provide shading in the summer. Osprey Builders design and building prac-
tices achieve an air leakage rate of less than .3 cfm per square foot.

Framing
Advanced framing techniques will be employed to reduce the amount of building material re-
quired. Locally sourced materials also contribute to the sustainability of framing construction.
Garage
Garages are a large source air pollution so it is extremely important to have up-to-date build-
ing practices for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality.
All doors in the garage adjacent to a conditioned space will be tightly sealed and gasketed cre-
ating a continuous air barrier separating the garage space from the conditioned space. In the
garage will be a wall exhaust fan vented to the outside.
Coatings and Adhesives
All coatings and adhesives have a low VOC to keep in adherence of the green building practic-
es set forth by the ICC-700. These practices ensure optimal health and comfort of residents.
Moisture Control
HVAC System
The Slab will have a 6-mil vapor retarder
Tiled surfaces in wet areas will have non-paper water resistant backerboards.
Materials will be protected by tarps and or raised platforms where necessary.
Our homes will come standard with Carrier high efficiency gas furnace.
With its 98.5 annual fuel utilization it qualifies for an Energy Star rating.
The sizing of the HVAC system will be calculated using the ACCA Manual J,
while the sizing of the duct system will be calculated with the Manual D.
All ductwork will be fully sealed to prevent leaking of air, and then insulated
with an R-3 insulation. All ductwork will also be within conditioned space.
When installation is finished a third party inspection will be used to
verify and check proper installation.
Cooling efficiency will be no less than 15 SEER with a customer option to go higher.
All bedrooms will come standard with High efficiency, ENERGY STAR rated ceiling fans.

Ease of use
Homes in Walkers Bluff are equipped with an EcoBee HomeKit. This device is programmable
and has AI that knows when people are home, and acts differently to each home’s specifica-
tions and the outside weather to help save energy and reduce the impact on the environment.
This technology utilizes a thermostat that is accessible via smart phone and can be operated
anywhere.
Lighting
At least 75% of all hard-wired lighting will qualify as high efficiency.
Wherever a recessed can is used it will be caulked and tightly sealed to limit any air leakage
between conditioned and unconditioned spaces.
Water Efficiency
Water efficiency is achieved by using high-efficiency fixtures and limiting flowrate. Tactics
implemented to improve water efficiency are outlined below.
Plumbing
The home will have a water filter installed to protect the whole building from sediment.
All plumbing fixtures will be water saving, being ENERGYSTAR or equivalent. This
include the dishwasher and washing machine
Showers will have no more combined flow rate of 1.6-2.5 gpm per valve, with a max of
two valves per shower compartment.
Faucets will have max flow rate of 1.5 gpm
Toilets will have an effective flush volume of 1.28 gallons or less
Our standard home will come with a tank-less gas water heater, with pipes insulated
with an R-Value or R-3.

Radon Resistance
DeKalb County is situated in a Radon Zone 1 according to the EPA’s official website. The
EPA suggests the following passive Radon-Resistant Construction Basics and Techniques to
provide a safe home Gravel: Use a 4-inch layer of clean, coarse gravel below the foundation.
Plastic Sheeting or Vapor Retarder
Place heavy duty plastic sheeting (6 mil. polyethylene) or a vapor
retarder on top of the gravel to prevent the soil gases from enter-
ing the house.
A Vent Pipe
Run a 3-inch to 4-inch solid PVC Schedule 40 pipe vertically
from the gravel layer through the house’s conditioned space and roof to safely vent radon
and other soil gases outside above the house.
Sealing and Caulking
Seal all openings, cracks, and crevices in the concrete founda-
tion floor (including the slab perimeter crack) and walls with
polyurethane caulk to prevent radon and other soil gases from
entering the home.
Junction Box
Install an electrical junction box in the attic in case an active system is needed. Osprey Build-
ers take a proactive approach to radon resistance by installing a passive radon mitigation
system also is environmentally friendly as it cuts the energy needed by an active system,
such as an exhaust fan.
