Builders Should Have No Trouble Buildins 4th Annuat Vattey Frotic Sept. 8
Medium Sired Homes, Sayt Fulton
Builders should have no trouble constructing single family homes of medium size under the new regulation in which the National Production Authority will timit the amount of critical metals that can be used, Clyde A. Fulton, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealer Association, stated.
"However, it will be necessary to use lumber in place of structtrral steel to avoid exceeding the allowance," Mr. Fultbn said.
"Since NPA reportedly does not intend to issue permits or material allotments for any large number of single family homes which would utilize more than the specified amounts of steel, copper, and aluminum. a very high percentage of the homes started in the next few months will have to be built with a minimum of all of the controlled materials.
"This means houses will have to be compact in shape and that plumbing fixturbs will have to be concentrated as much as possible in one part of the l-rouse, in order to require a minimum of pipe.
"Metals will have to be eliminated everywhere, except where there is no substitute, if the builder is to complete a horne without exceeding the minimums.
"There need be no sacrifice of quality in home construction during the time the new ruling remains in effect, but most builders rvill have to change their plans drastically and exercise considerable ingenuity."
