Thinking of Being an Owner Builder in British Columbia?

To become an owner builder in BC, part of the criteria you must meet is passing an Owner Builder Authorization Exam.

How Much Is A Prefab Home?

This is not always an easy question to answer as there are many factors that impact construction costs. The cost to build and finish a move-in ready home is dependent on how you’re building and where you are building. Will you be building yourself, acting as your own General Contractor and hiring out sub-trades or hiring a GC to manage the entire project? Are you building within city limits or rural, remote or semi-remote?

New name for the Homeowner Protection Office

The Homeowner Protection Office has changed their name to Licensing and Consumer Services!

Via BC Housing

We’ve changed our name to Licensing and Consumer Services

Since joining BC Housing in April 2010, we maintained a separate identity to ensure a smooth transition. But we’ve fully integrated into BC Housing and retired the HPO name and logo. It’s a new name but our services are the same.

Building An Energy Efficient Home

A few years ago, Winton engaged in extensive research to develop a super insulated wall. A double wall system was developed, reviewed and sealed through an engineering firm.

The Winton Energy Wall is a double wall system that yields a total insulation value of R-34 versus R-22 for a conventional wall assembly.

Benefits of the Winton Energy Wall:

- 35% less heat loss than conventional wall

- Cost effective option for increased R-value

- Comfortable

Need a Multi-Family Building? We can do that too!

More than just homes & cottages!

Over the years, we have designed and supplied several multifamily homes. Some of them were our stock models, some of them were custom designs and some of them were based off of other Winton plans.

What can we learn from tiny homes?

We’ve been conditioned to believe that bigger is better. But is it? Lately we’ve heard so much about these small houses or tiny homes. Some of these homes can be as small as 80 square feet and still contain everything a person would need to live happily. Although this may seem like a great solution for the expenses involved in building your own home, there are several barriers that you would need to overcome. Your local municipality may have a minimum habitable structure requirement. You may have a family, and three or four people may find it difficult to share a 300 square foot space.
