ZERO net cost

Could you use plans that look better, work better, and cost less? TrueNorth has teamed up with TK Design & Architecture to launch a radical new approach to new plan creation: use over 1,000 checkpoints gleaned from Lean experiences before developing working drawings. Improve top line performance via new products and sales, and improve bottom line performance from reduced cost to build.

These are not "dumbed down" houses; they are designed to suit your target market, price point, and feature list. The difference is that the unnecessary cost "designed in" to most homes is "designed out" by using TrueNorth's Lean Filter, a product of 50 LeanBuilding Blitzes with input from over 1,100 suppliers and trade contractors.

Nobody else in this industry can match the input.

The LeanDesign Charrette pays for itself in the first few units built, and will generate additional profit with each unit built therefter.
