DESIGN, PURPOSE & NOTES

After being approached by the Lubbock Community Development department in 2006, a collaborative engagement begun to explore the feasibility of adapting UDC’s Universal Home™ enhanced high performance design strategies into a Low to Moderate Income (LMI) concept home configuration that could be produced for community revitalization purposes. The first of these prototypes used an exterior Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) wall system and came standard with an EF-3 Tornado rated above ground integrated Storm Shelter. The design was completed and submitted out for competitive bid, however, UDC was not contractually obligated to maintain construction management responsibilities or administrative control of the project, that in turn allowed the building contractor to deviate from the construction Documents (authorized by the city of Lubbock) that resulted in shorter overhangs, now reduced from 24” to 16” and roof type variance from Galvalume Standing Seam to dark colored Asphalt Shingles, that affected overall building performance.

A study focused on five areas: 1) Construction cost, 2) Knowledge of technical aspects of construction method or trainability, 3) Code adaptability and use, 4) Longevity of Building Type and 5) Building Performance.
