Different Types of Residential Building Options Available in the Market

When deciding on the type of home you’d like to purchase, there are several types of residential buildings to choose from. In the view of the project manager for residential construction, your purchase should be based according to your lifestyle, budget and requirements. The choice of a particular type of housing is dependent on locally available materials, skills and levels of technology.

We are providing you a handy guide to some of the residential buildings you can opt for.

Single-Family Home-
Single family homes are homes built on a single lot, with no shared walls. Sometimes there’s a garage, attached or detached. A single family detached home has open space on all four sides and is not attached to any other structure. These type of homes are separated from other structures with walls that are extended from the ground to the roof. Single-family homes tend to offer more privacy and space than other types of homes, and frequently come with private front and back yards.



Condominium or condos-
A condominium is one of a group of housing units where each homeowner owns their individual unit space, and all the dwellings share ownership of areas of common use. What all condos have in common is that they share common areas—such as yards, garages or gyms—with other units that the condo owners don't have to maintain themselves, making home upkeep that much easier.


Townhouse-
A townhouse is usually a part of a community association, each person has his own separate living space. Townhomes usually have multiple floors—sometimes as many as three or four in one unit for one common family. Some townhomes are attached to twin units, but each owner still has exclusive access to all the floors in his own home. Unlike duplexes or fourplexes, however, each townhouse is individually owned. The primary difference between townhouses and row houses is in how they’re arranged.

Current global trends indicate that the newer construction of world housing is being dominated primarily by two types of construction, masonry houses and reinforced concrete buildings.

Benefits that can be Acquired Through a Well Executed Project Audit

A project audit acts as a quality assurance instrument. It scrutinizes the project life cycle system by evaluating the deliverables produced during various phases of the project from the design phase all the way to the implementation phase.

Project audit thoroughly analyzes all the data of a particular project and try to identify  existing or probable impediments/issues regarding the project. All over Australia, project audit and compliance are the things that are taken very seriously in all the construction related and other important projects.

One of the finest things about project audit is that it instantly gives a warning alarm when a project that was seemingly progressing normally and was considered to be OK, is not doing well in reality. The organization can take a prompt decision either to cancel the project, to change the project manager, or to increase the funds.

Project management companies in Sydney can play a significant role in helping an organisation achieve its strategic objectives in relation to project management. While a project manager who is skillful, conscientious, honest and on top of his job may learn nothing new from audits, audits nevertheless reduce doubts in the minds of others about project status. For the project, the audit helps guarantee continued success if everything is on track and an opportunity to put things in order if they are not.
