How to Access Affordable Windows & Doors for Multi-Family Housing
Think premium, high- performance windows and doors are out of reach for your next multifamily or workforce housing building project?
Think again.
See how developer Peacock Capital achieves profitable (and affordable) workforce housing with value-engineered windows and doors.
Peacock Capital sourced windows and doors from Bauwerk Solutions to create multi-family workforce housing — on budget! — that’s profitable for them and high-quality and affordable for tenants.
When Peacock Capital first discovered Bauwerk Solutions, they were in the process of doing multi- family development in a whole new way.
“Since we’re planning to own the building forever, we really need to build it so that it lasts forever. That means we need to get the longest possible lifespan on every product or material we use.”
As a real estate investment and advisory firm based in Central Florida, Peacock Capital wasn’t interested in the common industry trend of building a development as cheaply as possible, charging the highest possible rent, and then selling to an insurance company or management company.
Their challenges were that they wanted:
To design and build workforce housing that was profitable for them and affordable for tenants, yet still high-quality
To find windows and doors within budget that were very energy- efficient, and had a longer lifespan than standard windows
To succeed with that approach, Peacock Capital needed to ensure they were designing and building in the most efficient and cost-effective way. They required products and materials of the highest possible quality given their budget.
For Peacock Capital, that includes framing with steel and keeping their use of wood to an absolute minimum.
That’s why they partnered with Bauwerk Solutions for German-designed, high- performance uPVC windows and doors that are locally produced.
As a result, they were able to:
Use premium windows and doors that are very energy efficient and within budget.
Design entire apartment buildings with window openings that are all the same size.
Access windows and doors that are durable and easy to clean, maintain, and update which increases cost-efficiency and profitability.
Deliver a better living experience and fewer utility costs to tenants.
Access a local supply chain with the necessary approvals to meet building codes.
