Validity
The Validity screen is used to link together Façade, Series, and Siting records to a house type. This means that when a House Type is allocated to a job, only the available Façades will appear in the list to be allocated.
For this to be done, the Facades, Series, and Siting records need to be created in each of their screens.
House Facade
A house façade refers to the external appearance of a house, particularly its front elevation.
The House Facade screen is used to manage house facades. Each house façade may be used for a number of house types, so they are not linked to specific house types at this stage. House facades can be linked to individual house types through the House Validity screen.
House Series
House series refers to the provision to have different versions of a house over a period of time.
The House Series screen is used to manage house series. Each house series name may be used for a number of house types, so they are not linked to specific house types at this stage.
House Siting
House siting refers to the way the house plan will be sited on the land, usually indicating a right or left placement. The House Siting screen is used to manage siting types.
