For HOWMZ the building code is not the benchmark. But how do you quantify quality?

Floors that don’t bounce. Windows and doors that last. Air that stays fresh. A temperature that’s always comfortable. The peace of mind that no expensive maintenance surprises are coming. We can’t fully put into words the difference between a traditional home and a HOWMZ home — Quality is hard to describe. So we measured it.
