Introduction

Kenchiku Ichiba Co., Ltd., headquartered in Toshima, Tokyo, officially launched its comprehensive media platform, Kenchiku Ichiba Magazine, on October 16, 2025. This magazine aims to challenge the traditional house manufacturer-led information flow by connecting builders and clients directly. Its goal is to provide neutral and practical insights into home building.

Why Now? Three Key Challenges in Housing Construction

In the housing market today, several challenges hinder potential homeowners:

Challenge 1: Information Asymmetry

Housing manufacturers and contractors often monopolize the information required for construction, leaving homeowners in the dark regarding appropriate pricing and choices. Many do not even realize the typical broker commission of 30-35%.

Challenge 2: Limited Choices

Large housing manufacturers frequently offer standardized plans that exclude many desired features and layouts as “off-menu” choices. This creates a significant gap between what people want and what they can choose.

Challenge 3: Barriers to Expert Access

Many individuals perceive consulting architects as a daunting task, compounded by a general lack of information about whom to approach.

To tackle these obstacles, Kenchiku Ichiba is committed to connecting builders and homeowners directly, thereby reducing intermediary costs involved in creating the ideal home. The launch of Kenchiku Ichiba Magazine is a significant step towards informing current and future homeowners regarding the processes and challenges of housing construction.
