A Network of Builders Working Together to Deliver Quality New Homes & Renovations

WHAT IS THE HOLMES BUILDER NETWORK?

 

The program aims to assist current or new homeowners in working with a builder or renovator from the Holmes Builder Network who has committed to excellence in building performance, which includes third-party inspections conducted by trusted partners, including Mike Holmes Inspections, to help ensure the project is done right the first time.

When you build or renovate your home, you want to work with committed individuals who are not only skilled but also passionate about delivering the best for your home. The entire team is here to help you as you go with tips, best practices and even design ideas.

 

Helping you get to your Homeowner goals

The HBN network is designed to assist homeowners in achieving satisfaction by educating homeowners about building better, what to look for in your project, and meeting modern families’ needs for comfort, safety, and functionality.

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.

Fall cleanup is in full swing, here are a few suggestions to help keep you safe while working in the yard!

Protective Gear & Clothing

• Footwear: Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes or work boots (steel-toe boots are ideal) to prevent foot injuries.
• Eyes & Ears: Use polycarbonate safety glasses or goggles to block flying debris and earplugs or noise-canceling headphones for loud machinery.
• Skin & Sun: Wear long pants, long sleeves, sturdy gloves, and a wide-brimmed hat or sunscreen (SPF 50+) to protect against sunburns, cuts, and insect bites.
• Avoid Hazards: Skip loose jewelry, necklaces, or bracelets that can get caught in rotating equipment.

Equipment & Mowing Safety

• Clear the Area: Walk the yard beforehand to remove rocks, sticks, toys, wire, and debris that can turn into dangerous projectiles.
• Mow Smartly: Operate walk-behind mowers across slopes—never pull them backward—and check riding mower slope limits in the manual.
• Power Down First: Always turn off the engine, unplug electric tools, or let blades stop completely before clearing clogs, making adjustments, or reaching under a deck.
• Fuel Safely: Refuel gas equipment only when the engine is cool. Position portable generators at least 6 metres outdoors.

Ergonomics & Environment

• Lift Properly: Bend at your knees—not your waist—and keep your back straight when lifting heavy bags, soil, or rocks.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink water frequently (about one cup every 15 to 20 minutes during heavy work) even if it does not feel hot outside.
• Keep Bystanders Away: Keep children and pets indoors or safely out of the work zone while operating mowers or power tools.
Not all regions are moving back to Standard time anymore so check your clocks and appointments auto 'daylight savings time' settings, to ensure they are correct after November 1st.

We are loving this home office from our partners at Rinaldi Homes Inc
Custom built-ins, layered ceiling details, and a space that feels considered from every angle make this more than somewhere to put a desk.

That’s the Rinaldi Difference!
