Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Its been an exceptionally busy week for the builders participating in the 31st Annual HBA Parade of Homes and theyre looking forward to a strong finish with homes open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Sunday.

Since location is one of the most important decisions people make when shopping for a new home, its important to compare them as carefully as you compare houses. Sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Northwest Indiana, this years scattered site event featuring 37 homes allows you to see and compare whats new in some of the most dynamic cities and towns throughout the region.

Along with touring different areas where you will have the opportunity to meet some of the neighbors, learn more about the local government, public service, education and day care, police and fire protection, parks and recreation, medical facilities and places of worship, as well as get a feel for the distance to work, schools and shopping,

The parade is also the perfect opportunity to ask the experts about other locations suitable for the new home of your dreams. All of the participating builders have experience in multiple locations, with many offering homes in a variety of locations as well as the opportunity to build on the site of your choice.

When it comes to making your new home your own, building from the ground up allows you to make it your own every step of the way from site selection to choosing the contemporary floor plan and finishes that work best for you. If youre hoping to move a bit sooner than the timetable for building from scratch allows, you can still enjoy all the benefits of new construction, starting with a home where no one has ever lived before you. Everything is clean and brand newfrom state-of-the-art building technologies and materials that offer better-than-ever long-term quality and energy efficiency (youll be saving money from day one on utility bills)to the peace of mind as you settle in thanks to a new home and product warranties that protect you during the first year and beyond.

Visit the Parade of Homes builders this weekend to see all your new homes options from new homes that are complete and ready to move in to new homes in various stages of construction that offer some opportunities for personalization and the ability to move sooner than building from the ground up, which allows you to work closely with the builder to create every aspect of your new space. Whichever way you choose, you can rest assured there will be no unexpected surprises when you choose a builder who you feel comfortable with and keeps you informed every step of the way!

Look for these Parade of Homes builders in new home communities throughout the following cities and towns:

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 28, 2014

The Countertop Manufacturing industry makes horizontal work surfaces used in kitchens, food preparation areas, bathrooms and workrooms. Countertops produced by industry operators incorporate a variety of materials, such as marble, granite and other natural stone, as well as wood, laminate, concrete, crafted glass and tile.

In the five years to 2014, the industry benefited from improving employment, rising disposable incomes and historically low interest rates, which spurred a rise in residential construction. According to IBISWorld Industry Analyst David Yang, residential construction and private spending on home improvements largely drive demand for the Countertop Manufacturing industry, as countertops are commonly installed in new homes and during kitchen renovations. Additionally, an increase in mortgage refinances and bank lending made more credit available for the remodeling of existing homes, further boosting countertop replacement sales. To a lessor extent, industry revenue is also driven by commercial construction activity, as countertops are installed in buildings that require cafeterias and kitchens. Therefore, a rise in private nonresidential construction aided industry sales as well during the past five years. From 2009 through 2014, these factors helped contribute to an expected annualized industry revenue growth rate of 5.7% to $5.1 billion, which includes a 7.1% increase in 2014 alone.

Going forward, this upward trend will continue as industry sales are expected to return to prerecessionary levels, driven by a steady rise in residential construction and private spending on home improvements, says Yang. A shift in consumer preferences to more expensive countertop materials, such as engineered stone and recycled glass, should also enhance industry revenue, which is expected to increase in the five years to 2019.

The Countertop Manufacturing industry exhibits a low market share concentration, as the industry's largest player accounts for barely more than 5.0% of industry revenue. The remainder of the market is captured by small businesses that serve local and regional markets.

The Soniclean VT Plus is a simple-looking $200 vacuum cleaner that claims it can outperform Oreck, Dyson, and Shark. The ace up its sleeve is "sonic-cleaning technology," which comes by way of a bar adjacent to the brushroll which vibrates 200 times per second. Like an electric toothbrush, which buzzes the plaque right out of your gums, this vacuum promises to buzz the dirt right out of your carpets.

$200 isn't a bad price for a middle of the road vacuum, and it's a great price for one that's actually capable of performing as well as vacuums like the Dyson DC65 Animal and the Oreck Touch, which both cost significantly more. In our tests, the Soniclean more or less did just that, putting up performance scores that left me pleasantly surprised. I can't say that I'm a fan of the dated, feature-less design, but for raw cleaning power from a lightweight, affordable unit, I give the Soniclean VT Plus a passing grade.

The Soniclean VT Plus sports a skepticism-inducing, faux-futuristic design that makes it feel less like the vacuum of tomorrow and more like a relic of the early '90s. It's an aesthetic that just seems blatantly inauthentic given how basic the build is. There's no pivoting neck for easy maneuverability, no unique engineering touches, no high-end design flourishes. It's a very simple, very dated build that's been designed to look fancier than it actually is.

Still, the design gets some things right. At just over 11 pounds, the Soniclean is noticeably lighter than the Oreck and Dyson models I mentioned before, along with the comparably priced, tank-like Electrolux Precision Brushroll Clean. All three of those weigh in at over 17 pounds.

The Soniclean VT Plus is a bagged model that only comes with one bag. Colin West McDonald/CNET

Part of the reason this vacuum is so light is because it doesn't have a whole lot of extra stuff on it, or in it. Inside, there's just the disposable, HEPA-filtered bag -- the Soniclean only comes with one of them, which seems a bit cheap to me. Additional eight-packs cost $25 and are supposed to last you about a year.

Below the interior bag, you'll also find a slot for a linen-scented air freshener. Like the bags, you get one of these with the vacuum, and if you like what you smell, additional eight-packs cost $20. I certainly didn't mind having it in there as I cleaned, but I doubt that I'd feel compelled to buy additional ones after it ran out.

You won't find any extra cleaning attachments on its backside, or even a wand. From a practicality standpoint, this comes in handy when you're trying to lie the Soniclean flat to the ground and store it under your bed, but it still might feel a bit too sparse by modern standards.

The solitary, handle-mounted switch is about as simple as it gets. Ry Crist/CNET

The settings are sparse, too. The power button is conveniently located on the handle and clearly labeled with foolproof lettering. Click it once for hard floors, twice for carpets. That's it. There are no other settings to play with, no other buttons to press, nothing else aside from the latch to release the vacuum from its standing position. If you're looking for something feature-rich, look elsewhere. Minimalists, however, might be justifiably thrilled with this thing.
