Helping you get to your Homeowner goals

Fostering Innovation
The HBN network works with premium manufacturers, builders and experts to inspire informed innovation by encouraging builders to adopt techniques, technologies, and materials that improve building performance, durability and comfort.

Third-Party Inspections
New Home Builders who want to build better welcome third-party inspections as the information they receive will help them build better. If you are looking for a better build, ask about the third-party inspection process and what it covers to better understand what you get with your purchase or add-ons to your project.

Build For The Future
The HBN collection of builders shares information, expertise, experience and methodologies to help educate and promote better building practices, not only to benefit homeowners but other builders as well. These practices encourage builders to learn and adopt advanced, sustainable construction techniques and technologies for efficient, eco-friendly homes.

These are often called concrete sandwich panels or precast insulated wall panels —are complete building systems featuring a layer of rigid foam insulation sandwiched between two concrete layers, or wythes.
Main Types of Insulated Concrete Panels:
Precast Concrete Sandwich Panels - Factory-made panels with interior and exterior concrete layers connected by non-conductive ties through a continuous insulation layer. They can be load-bearing or non-load-bearing.
Concrete Faced Insulation (CFI) - Thinner panels (like WallGUARD) made with extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam and a durable latex-modified concrete facing, used primarily to insulate exposed foundation perimeters.
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) - Hollow stay-in-place expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam blocks (such as Amvic ICF R30) stacked and filled with reinforced concrete on-site.
Key Benefits:
High Energy Efficiency - Continuous edge-to-edge insulation eliminates thermal bridging and reduces air leakage.
Durability - The outer concrete shell resists weather, wind loads, impact, and fire.
Fast Installation - Factory precasting or interlocking dry-stack systems streamline the building envelope process.
We have benen learning about ICF's for the past decade as one of friends in Ontario has been using them in his builds and educating us on thCharette Custom Homes Inc.st#makeitright.#mikeholmesg#holmesapproved##icfconstructionic#ICFstruction #ICF
Is your heating system ready? Have you checked your HVAC filter? What about your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, weatherstripping, ventilation fans and indoor humidity?
Fall is also a great time to look for moisture in your attic and basement, clean your dryer vent and start a long-term radon test.
Small maintenance jobs can turn into BIG problems when they’re ignored.
I put together my indoor fall home maintenance checklist to help you get your home ready for winter.

Indoor Fall Home Maintenance Checklist - Make It Right®

It's important to maintain your home from the outside in. Here is Mike Holmes' indoor fall house maintenance checklist ahead of the winter.There’s something we really like about seeing a home before the furniture goes in. When the space is empty, you notice the craftsmanship and the details a whole lot more.
This kitchen was designed to be clean, functional, and built for real everyday living. It features an extended island with a built-in tabletop, integrated appliances hidden in the millwork, a wall oven with a vacuum seal drawer, and a walk-in pantry to keep the clutter out of sight.
Good design isn’t just about looks—it’s about how the space works for the people living in it.
