2. Choose Efficient building procedures and methods
3. Systems ~ Constantly evaluate mechanical and equipment efficiencies and stay market driven in selections
4. Specifications ~ Include only those specifications with high perceived value as defined by the client
5. Simplifications~ keep the foundation and roof designs compatible with the budget yet still achieving outstanding design appeal for the client
6. Standardization~ use universal materials, details and sizes throughout the design in order to benefit from volume purchasing, pricing, and reduced labor costs
7. Perception~ Opening up sightlines within the home in order to obtain desired spatial perceptions. Sharing drama features among adjoining spaces whenever possible
