Rhode Island homebuilders will need to make changes in an effort to respond to these two forces of change. Homebuilders like North Kingstown based Gil Bianchi Construction will need to become closely involved with town council members and attempt to reduce lot size barriers to allow for higher-density and mixed-use developments. Mr. Bianchi will need to consider how to accommodate customers wanting new homes as land supplies decreased. Today, Bianchi construction focuses on building new single-family homes. In order to withstand a drastic reduction in the land permits issued, Bianchi should begin to focus his efforts on condominium or multifamily home building before the change arrives. In yesterday's market, Rhode Island builders needed only to look at whether the future economy would remain strong enough to encourage new home buyers. In contrast, the successful construction manager of tomorrow will need to work hard to make growth even more attractive to communities by planning for the distribution of land for residential, commercial, and industrial uses while preserving environmentally sensitive areas.
