Author Fernando Pages Ruiz discussed Building An Affordable House: Second Edition. The book is a complete rewrite of his Taunton Press classic of almost 20 years ago, and he adds his impressive new urbanist development and planning knowledge to the most comprehensive and honest discussion of affordable housing construction issues. The webinar was moderated by CNU's Robert Steuteville.

This webinar is available for 1 CNU-A continuing education credit if viewed live or recorded.
