Evaluation

One of the factors that keep many Japanese people away from "creating their own way of living" is that there are many uncertainties in building a house, and as a result, residents tend to be passive. This service has steadily created a culture by openly offering materials, craftsmanship, and ideas that are the "choices" of professionals. It was also highly evaluated that the company has grown the service from only 190 orders a year to the current scale of business. This is a wonderful initiative that R Fudosan (real estate) Group, which is proposing the renovation culture around Japan, has established for 10 years to build an ecosystem and one option for the next generation to "build and live in a house."
