Designer value
Article Abstract:
In-house showhome designers have the advantage of being involved in the overall design and siting of a showhouse. They are able to use their knowledge of the company's plans to make sure the interior designs are aimed at the most likely buyers. Whereas independent designers must ensure they understand the company's strategy, such as the target buyers for particular properties. They have to make good relationships with the builders. Independent designers often work on a various projects therefore can benefit from having a wide range of different influences on their work.

Approaching melting point: recent optimism in the housebuilding industry may be premature
Article Abstract:

However housebuilders are more cautious, although private housing orders rose in November. There was a sharp fall in housebuilding volumes during the last quarter of 1995 and prices fell by 3%. Tax cuts are unlikely to make much difference to the market, as they will be offset by increases in the council tax.
