While some say that High-performance homes can be complicated, these considerations will be unpacked at this month’s Builders’ Breakfast online seminar (BBS), hosted by HAVAN and sponsored by FORTISBC. Steve Kemp will be demonstrating that better-built homes can be designed and constructed so they are an affordable option when considering a new custom home build.

Steve along with a team of 6 experts, will be sharing details about the project including goals, processes, pathway, systems, and costs, which has enabled the team to build this custom high-performance home more efficiently.
