The MHBA was very active in terms of education and training for all of its members in the lead up to the adoption of the latest building code updates in January of this year. The same will hold true when the next code updates are introduced, McInnes says, adding that is likely to occur sometime in the next few years. The association also offers its master builder and master renovator certi- fication programs. The programs allow builders and renovators to demonstrate compliance with stan- dards established by a third party
and provide continuing education on all the latest industry information, including techniques, materials and building science. “Our members are ahead of the curve when it comes to new code changes but also new techniques and new materials that are being introduced in terms of new home building,” McInnes says. “That’s a key piece of making sure that you’re hiring a builder who is up to speed on all these things. So not only are you getting the highest value that you can for the money you are
spending in terms of the home that is getting built, but you are also mini- mizing any issues that may happen when you get to the inspection process and making sure that’s not delayed.” Anyone interested in learning whether a homebuilder is a member of the MHBA can do so by visiting the association’s website at home- builders.mb.ca and clicking on the member director listed in the members tab at the top of the page. The website also provides a variety of resources for consumers, including advice on how to hire a contractor.
