| My Home = My
Office, building for your lifestyle |
| |
Just imagine your super long commute from the
bedroom, to the bathroom, to the office (in your home). More
and more employers understand the need for today's workers to work
from home. While the reasons may vary for your at home
workplace, the importance of pre-planning for the possibility does
not. Below we have listed some considerations as you
plan your new home office.
|
| |
Wiring: much like
insulation, we forget what's inside our walls until it's too late,
and then you see 100 cables and devices surrounding the floor of
your new home office. The number one suggestion from Robert Kohl, IT
Director at Monte Hewett Homes, "Add cable outlets on EVERY wall.
Adding cable or internet locations after drywall is the top mistake
by most home buyers. Plus, ask an IT Professional for an hour
to help you plan your internal wiring structure. The idea is
to keep most of the hardware in one neat location with very few
wires showing."
- Cat 5e vs. Cat 6. The industry
standard for home and office is still Cat5e for internet
outlets. BUT, with increasing demands for video,
teleconferencing, and VoIP (voice over IP), home buyers should
consider Cat 6 if a home office is VERY important to them.
With this upgraded cable, you can send and receive more data.
- Cable Outlets, Coax Cable. Just
a few years ago, you only installed a coax cable where you
wanted a TV. Today, you need these cable outlets in
locations for
- Satellite hookups (note: run 2 coax
cables from your roof to your network closet location for
Dish and DirectTV vs. paying the satellite installer additional
money),
- High Speed Broadband Internet (where do you
want to place your modem, hopefully inside your network closet
location), and
- HDTV locations (note: once again run
two cables to your main TV location to view and record different
programs on TIVO or DVR)
- Wireless Internet. Wireless has
come a long way, but problems do still
exist with drop zones and dead locations. In addition,
wireless still isn't as fast as a hardwire cable.
Regardless, your wireless device will still need to connect back
to the main network location for service. You should
consider hiding these devices inside closets. Be sure to
run Cat 5e and electrical to these locations.
- Telephone vs. VoIP (internet telephone).
Fact: traditional telephone service is expensive.
More and more homebuyers are considering VoIP (interent
telephones) for their homes as cell phones become more
mainstream. Once again, the hardware will need a
connection back to your main service location, if not located in
the same area. Consider running Cat5e (vs. Cat 3 for
telephone) to all possible locations for a standard telephone
unit. This will allow you 3-4 telephone lines in one
location.
- Service. Once the wiring is done
correctly, any service provider will work. Remember there
ARE choices. Be sure to research the benefits of each,
bundle services with one provider where possible, and DEMAND
good service.
Technology isn't going away,
and Technology is always changing. Following some simple
planning during the construction of your home can save you thousands
of dollars as time goes on, and adds significant value to your home.

| Monte
Hewett Question and Answer |
| |
The following are
actual questions received by Monte Hewett Homes Customer Service:
Q: I have heard I should wait
to purchase a home because prices are going down in Atlanta?
A: Historically, Atlanta is rarely affected by housing bubbles and
changes in the market. While you may hear of tends nationally
on the news, statistics show Atlanta has it's own unique trends due
to growth, job creation, and location. Also, construction
costs, material costs, and land costs, are all factors that are
quite stable over the long run.
On the other hand, mortgage rates
are still unbelievably low, buyers do have a choice as there is
still some inventory homes awaiting purchase, and Spring
traditionally sees increased activity and price hikes. These
factors change constantly. Thus, now is really the perfect
time to purchase a home.
The old saying, "those who waiting
for something better, will always be waiting," truly applies. |

Monte Hewett Homes is pleased to

Sherwood Park offers the opportunity to move into an
as-yet-discovered area of the trendy Smyrna community with 57
three-story townhomes and 36 single family homes situated among
pockets of greenspace and a neighborhood pool.
Next door to Sherwood, the City of

bocce court, volleyball courts and trails. Some residents will even
have backyards that border Lake Court Park’s acreage.

meet EarthCraft construction standards for energy efficiency,
minimal environmental impact and cleaner indoor air. And,
prices in this location beat all others with Towhomes in the $400s
