Conclusion
LIVIO’s proposal demonstrates how offsite construction can bring measurable savings, not just in labor, but in overall project cost and predictability. With a 10% reduction in hard costs across a 150-cottage development, the developer could save approximately $1.77 million, all while:
- Reducing project risk
- Streamlining scheduling
- Minimizing labor dependency
- Improving build quality
This case study sets a strong precedent for LIVIO’s role as a perfect solution for developers doing high-volume residential construction.
CASE STUDY-2
$10.7M COST SAVINGS & 40% FASTER DELIVERY ON 120-UNIT CONDO DEVELOPMENT IN FREMONT, CA
Project Summary
Address: Prune Avenue, Fremont, CA 94539
Scope: 120 Condominiums | 5-Story Residential
Development Objective: To evaluate cost and time
efficiencies by switching from a traditional lumber framing based approach to Livio’s Multi-trade pre-assembled building system.
Livio partnered with the client to run a comprehensive cost and schedule analysis. The result? A projected cost
savings of $10.78 million and an estimated 40% reduction
in construction time, while maintaining all performance
and design expectations.
The Challenge
The client was working with an existing general contractor using traditional lumber framing, facing rising construction costs, extended project timelines, and labor shortages typical of the California market. The client sought a strategic building system shift to improve their ROI.

CASE STUDY-3
How Livio Helped Save 18% on a 4-Home project ( Each 2-Story, 3000 sq.ft.) in CA.
Project Overview
A client approached us to explore cost-effective yet high-quality construction options for their 4 SFR Project (Each approx. 2-story, 2998 sq. ft. custom home). Traditional building methods quoted a total project cost of $814,425 per SFR, which translated to approximately $272 per sq. ft.
By switching to the Livio’s building system, we were able to optimize the project -bringing the total cost down to $669,222, or $223 per sq. ft!
Key Efficiency Drivers with Livio
Framing Labor Reduced by 75%
Use of Livio's pre-assembled, high-strength building system streamlined the shell erection process.
Foundation Savings of 20%
Livio’s lightweight structural load reduced foundation requirements, translating into significant material and labor savings.
Electrical & Plumbing (MEP) Efficiencies
Rough-in costs for electrical and plumbing saw savings of over 30%, enabled by Livio’s precision routing and systemized design.
Insulation Costs Cut by 30%
High-performance insulation panels reduced both installation time and cost.
Up to 65% Savings on Windows
Standardized window modules and partnerships with smart suppliers led to deep material cost reductions.
