There are a lot of important details happening before they ever become visible in the finished home.

Before backfill is the right time to prepare for exterior landscaping, driveway gates, pool services, and other underground requirements. We also take advantage of having the large excavation equipment on site to prepare for driveways, sidewalks, and other concrete surfaces—saving time, work, and cost later.

Now we’re at lock-up, with the Siga Majvest 500 WRB being installed by Elite Airtight Envelopes and our Euroline Windows installed. Planning ahead, keeping the site organized, and getting the details right early are all part of building the right way.

If you’ve never seen an ICF foundation being installed, this gives you a quick look at what’s involved.

Great work from Darrell and his team, who completed this much ICF installation in just one day. Four men, working smarter and safer, without having to lug around oil-soaked sheets of plywood in the heat.

We’re using Quad-Lock ICF to build a strong, efficient foundation system that’s designed to last. A great product, installed by a great team.

Three great days of learning, connecting, and learning how to build better at Build Show Live 2026!

One of my favorite parts of this event is being surrounded by people who are constantly pushing the building industry forward. From the latest products and building technologies to conversations with some of the best experts in the industry, there is always something new to learn.

We already use many of these products in our builds, so it’s great to connect with the people behind them, see what’s new, and keep looking for better ways to build. You can always get better at what you do—and I believe the best builders never stop learning.

Thank you to Matt and the entire Build Show team for another fantastic event. San Antonio was a great time, and I’m already looking forward to Houston in 2027.

October 21–23, 2027. See you there!

As we near the end of excavation, we prepare the site for the foundation crew. There are several important steps to make sure the excavation sets my foundation contractor for success:

1. Install 4" of ¾" clear crush rock at the base of the excavation. This acts as a capillary break, helping prevent water from wicking up toward the foundation.
2. Level and compact the clear crush rock to create a solid, stable base for the foundation.
3. Dig the exterior stairwell lower to allow for the required 18” frost protection.
4. Poly the sides of the excavation to help protect the soil from becoming saturated and collapsing.
5. Establish the benchmark. The surveyor’s benchmark provides the exact elevation above sea level that we use to determine the required depth of excavation.

Every step matters—even the work that eventually gets covered up. Build it right from the ground up.

A closer look at the outdoor spaces of this Burnaby home.

Designed to make the most of indoor-outdoor living, this backyard brings together a beautiful, covered patio, spacious deck, pool, and comfortable areas for relaxing and entertaining. Every part of the space was thoughtfully designed to feel like a natural extension of the home.

From the clean exterior details to the landscaping and outdoor living areas, the goal was to create a home that looks beautiful, functions well, and gives the family a space they can truly enjoy.

Another home built with care, craftsmanship, and attention to the details that matter.

The “Red Door of Truth” is the final test of how effective your air control layer really is.

I’m here in Burnaby for the final blower door test on a home where we tried a brand-new approach to our exterior air control layer. Credit to Dennis Froese from Elite Airtight Envelopes for recommending and executing this innovative approach. The result? 0.55 ACH50.

For perspective:

BC Step Code (Step 3) – 2.5 ACH50 or tighter
Net Zero – 1.5 ACH50 or tighter
Passive House – 0.60 ACH50 or tighter

This home – 0.55 ACH50 – Final Blower Door Test.

We’re very satisfied with the result. But ultimately, our clients are the winners. A tighter, more efficient home means better comfort, better performance, and a healthier indoor environment for the family living in it. Well done to the entire team!

A healthy, comfortable, energy-efficient home delivers superior air quality. These 4 steps helped us deliver superior air quality to our clients.
1. Building envelope
2. Air Tightness
3. HRV
4. Whole house air filter

In this Delta home, we completed the following:
1. Siga Majvest 500 air control layer with a sweater of ROCKWOOL around the home.
2. We achieved 0.48 ACH. Air tightness that meets both Net Zero and Passive House requirements.
3. HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) to help deliver conditioned, filtered air from dirty areas of the home to living areas.
4. Whole house filter.

The HRV:
• Brings in fresh outdoor air
• Exhausts stale, moist air
• Recovers heat through the ventilation process
• Filters incoming air
• Helps remove smoke, odors, and other pollutants
• Distributes fresh air throughout the home

The result? A home that is comfortable, efficient, and designed for superior air quality.

That’s a win for my clients.

Great metalwork is all about the details.

I had the opportunity to visit Iron Age’s showroom in Vancouver and see the craftsmanship behind their fully custom work. From railings and staircases to driveway and pedestrian gates, they work with steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and more.

What I really appreciate is that they can take a project from design and engineering all the way through fabrication and installation.

If you’re looking for a true custom metal fabricator, Iron Age is worth checking out.

Envelope first is one of the principles of building a high performance home.

A second principle is continuity of the 4 control layers. On this home, we have 2 control layers on the exterior thus far. We’re using a continuous air control layer with Mento 1000, plus a thermal control layer is a continuous 2-inch layer of ROCKWOOL Comfortboard 110 to minimize thermal bridging.

The goal is simple: a home that’s healthy, comfortable, and efficient — built to perform for years to come.

Thanks to Dennis and the team at Elite Airtight Envelopes for helping us get the details right.
