What shapes a project in San Francisco
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Prewar and wartime buildings
Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 put the median build year of San Francisco housing at 1946. Expect older framing, wiring and plumbing in many remodels, and leave time for upgrades found after demolition.
Mostly multi-unit and rented
Only about 18 percent of San Francisco housing units are single-family detached houses, while about 49 percent are in buildings with five or more units. About 62 percent of occupied homes are rented, so landlord and association approvals are a common part of project planning.
