Key Cost Driver

Sustainability-driven material premiums and ADU conversion demand

Strong sustainability culture drives demand for FSC-certified lumber, recycled countertops, and low-flow fixtures as standard rather than upgrade options. The city's ADU-friendly policies mean many bathroom remodel projects evolve into full accessory dwelling unit conversions.
