This project is from a Fall 2010 course at Woodbury University focusing on learning REVIT.
Professor Mark Owen gave us a former project from his office, a home is Pacoima that wanted to increase their square footage with limited demolition to the original home. The added twist to the project is that the client wished to be able to convert their added space to a rentable unit, without the building department knowing about it.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Curb appeal Another appeal for owners: maintenance free
Selective splurging: Less square footage, but selectively splurging, like on moldings, flooring that adds value, and—for those with a sale in mind—curb appeal Entry door : First statement the home owners make about themselves Steel doors: Clean lines, contemporary feel, unexpected
Aging in place. Most adults 45-years and older plan to “age in place,” stay in their homes and communities as long as possible, according to a recent AARP survey. Multi-generation Living . By 2008, 20 percent of 25-to-34-year-olds were living in their parents home, up from 11 percent in 1980. Owners hope it’s temporary, so are customizing the space with furnishings, rather than renovating attics and basements.
Home owners want to be passionate about their kitchens, which they still consider the most important room in the house. Home owners are performing lower-priced kitchen “facelifts,” rather than wholesale renovations. Home owners are selecting mid-range appliances that mimic high-end choices. Granite is still popular, but home owners are choosing thinner and less exotic stone, which adds value to the kitchen but doesn’t bust the budget. Home owners are dressing up cabinets with new hardware and painted fronts.
Lends curb appeal, adds value Three- and four-car garages , less popular than before the recession. Today, home owners want to maintain and improve what they have. New material and production techniques offer more design options at every price point. SA: Upscale version might be the better deal. Only 1% point difference but an all-around better product. H igh-strength steel and heavy duty hardware, foam insulated to R-12, with insulated windows. Wrong values: M = 71.9% U=71.1%
There are 35 projects in this year’s survey, same as last year. Looking at the projects in rank order, based on how much you estimated they’d return at resale, 7 of the top 10 are replacement projects. The only ones that aren’t: attic bedroom, minor kitchen, and deck addition – all midrange projects. This is the first time I recall an upscale project topped the list.
We have not included any green projects in Cost vs. Value, but I wanted to throw this slide in since you (Todd) mentioned that you’ve been doing more geothermal installations. What kind of an outlay can home owners expect to make for such a system and what might they save in energy costs?
I thought it would also be nice to look at the bottom 10 projects on the list – more full-scale remodeling projects here. Most of these are pretty expensive and so not likely to return as much value in today’s market. But for customers with a long timeline – say they want to sell in five year – one of these projects can bring them a lot of enjoyment until they’re ready to sell. Todd, we always say Cost vs. Value isn’t the definitive answer on whether to remodel or not – but it’s a starting point, and there are a lot of factors that need to be taken into account – like the overall condition of the house and the characteristics of comparable properties in the neighborhood. Can you envision scenarios in which some of these larger projects make a bigger difference in the sale?
Here’s something that surprised me in this year’s survey. Realtors always tell us that buyers pay most attention to kitchens and baths. We saw a kitchen project in the Top 5 – but bathroom projects didn’t even make the top 10. Can you speculate why?
So I’ve had many, many REALTOR Magazine readers tell us that they really love Cost vs. Value, but there’s not as much of it covered in the magazine these days. Where can you find Cost vs. Value data online? One place is HouseLogic.com. It’s a web site NAR launched about two years ago – and it’s all about protecting, improving, and maintaining the value of your home. National averages for various remodeling projects are built into the site, so here, on the right, you see an article on how to save money remodeling your kitchen, and at the top, you see Cost vs. Value data for a major kitchen remodel. Incidentally, I threw in another image here because HouseLogic is publishing a fun series right now: “Why You Should Fake It,” looking at some of the alternatives to expensive finishes. Here, they’re showing vinyl siding that looks like beautiful cedar shake. In another piece, Lisa Kaplan Gordon, a luxury home builder and regular contributor, shows how to install a granite film on an old countertop. I don’t know how durable the film is, but at least on video the results look pretty fabulous. Todd, you remodel a lot of homes. How does a home owner decide whether “fake” is an acceptable alternative? And more important, should they tell their neighbors it’s fake or let them believe it’s the real thing?
But if you want to find data specific for your region or your metro area, go to costvsvalue.com. Sal, let’s say I’m from Detroit, Michigan. Walk me through how to find the data.
Take time to study the data and figure out what’s relevant to you. Don’t take the data at face value, but make it the starting point for a conversation with clients and customers. Counsel customers with a long timeline (i.e., plans to move in 3-5 years). Blog about interesting data points with a link to costvsvalue.com Tweet interesting data points.
