In the U.S., many contractors are getting used to a new definition of luxury. Gone are the free-wheeling days of conspicuous consumption that drove large luxury developments and ambitious remodeling projects. Today, the emphasis is on value – both for individual lifestyle and for resale. Kitchens, for example, remain the most popular project for remodeling. There's also a definite movement toward eco-conscious U.S. contracting, from building, remodeling, pest control and lawn care down to the types of tools and equipment used on the projects. So compared to the past, contracting services in the U.S. are tighter and more defined – but the results are often no less spectacular.
