Requirements
These categories are intended for all members involved in building tract housing, defined as a house model or design that is constructed multiple times on a given site with only minimal customization by the purchaser. Mass production homes that have been substantially modified at the request of a purchaser, resulting in significant alterations or additions to the base floor plan, including structural or mechanical changes, will be considered Custom and must be submitted under one of the Custom Categories. If a developed basement is a standard feature in the home's design, it must be included in the calculation of the overall square footage.
