If it did , we would have a robust home inspection and warranty program ! However we have a hapless soft process that jumps on the backs of unsuspecting new homeowners!

My thoughts at SP Institute on the budget. Very aggressive on housing supply, less so on making sure those homes are low-carbon and resilient to the effects of climate change.

Budget 2024: Five thousand public service jobs will be cut over the next four years, while underused federal office buildings, Canada Post properties and the National Defence Medical Centre in Ottawa could be turned into new housing units

Very few industries still use the same technologies they did a century ago.

We’re bringing homebuilding into the 21st century with new technologies like panelization and 3D printing.

Our catalogue of preapproved home designs will change the way we build homes.

Volunteers are the backbone of #Durham !

During #NationalVolunteerWeek , we celebrate the volunteers who make our communities strong & vibrant. I encourage everyone to nominate an exceptional volunteer for one of #Ontario 's service awards.

1/2 Have you ever felt that the quality of homes are declining? 📉

Glitching simulations are modern apartments that appear well-designed but have numerous functional and structural flaws, such as towel bars that can’t hold weight, or floors that ripple and peel back.

Architects DCA David Schaengold Those who’ve lived in newly built homes/condo with defects/ Code Violations can attest that the impact on their lives is much greater than just the defect itself. The glitch is real CPBH Barbara Captijn Tom Rakocevic #MalfunctioningEnvironment #Healthandsafety #onpoli

Better Building Codes without Enforcement gets nothing accomplished. In fact Building Codes are meant to protect H&S of occupants it’s mandatory not optional. When will Govt get serious about protecting consumers? Dr. Mike P. Moffatt 🇨🇦🏅🏅 Mary C. Kelly CPBH Barbara Captijn #onpoli

So why aren’t hurricane clips mandatory in Building Codes yet? #cndpoli

This is where it all starts…

Tell Doug Ford the #GravyTrain needs to stop.

#onpoli

Today I called out the government on failing to respond to the housing crisis in Attawapiskat.
There is no land to build houses.
The feds and Doug Ford refuse to transfer land.
The community believes they are protecting the land interests of DeBeers.

CPBH continues to support hurricane clips/hurricane ties in all Building Codes. These clips/ties connect the roof to the walls.

Canada has already seen its first tornado of the season - in Ontario.

Turns out the first Canadian tornado of 2024 occurred on March 16th at Malden Centre in SW ON. After an NTP ground / drone investigation, the tornado has been rated EF1 given it ripped the roof off a mobile home.

Full details at the NTP blog: uwo.ca/ntp/blog/2024/… #ONStorm

#DYK that CPBH has about 50 volunteers across Canada?

CPBH has been operating strictly with volunteers for 20 years now. No one gets paid a dime.
