HomeBuilt: supplier and homeowner requirements

homeowner side + supplier side, both need to work. what happens when the design needs something the shop doesn’t have?? Maybe offer locally available material options before getting attached to one look

two-sided problem: homeowners need a clear design, complete materials and usable instructions; local suppliers need demand, visibility and a way to move suitable inventory. The product must satisfy both sets of constraints rather than optimize only the design interface.

draft offering: a marketplace connecting customized project plans to locally sourced Build Packs. The content notes propose supplier vetting, tailored instructions and feedback-driven revisions.

Little Free Library sample guide: cut list and gable assembly.

Handwritten HomeBuilt design-to-delivery workflow.

reference questions: which material properties permit substitution, how is availability reflected in a design, and who validates dimensions and assembly requirements? Preserve provenance from design revision to bill of materials to supplied parts.

evidence status: survey figures, market claims and partnership targets require their underlying records. This note retains the requirement structure without converting placeholders or forecasts into completed validation.
