What is a Passive House?

We have been talking about the Passive House concept for a while now, yet the majority of people don't know what a Passive House means.

Let me give you an example:

You are probably aware of the term "Passive Income". You know that it is the type of income that you generate while doing little or no work. This income requires some work at the beginning (set up) and minimal maintenance. Subsequently, you get to focus on other life activities while the money rolls in.

Well, the Passive House concept is similar to that. You get to build a home that works for you and not against you. Watch the video or listen to the Podcast to understand more about how it works.

Where would I start if I wanted to become a general contractor?

This video is a response to a question we have received from one of our YouTube subscribers.

Do I need plans to renovate my home?

This is technically possible but it is not recommended.

In a case of a small job, ie. flooring replacement, you might not need a set of plans. Even in this case, the communication between you and your contractor must still be at a high level. See the video about expectations.

The set of blueprints/plans will give your contractor the ability to price the job accurately. If you do not have a set of plans, the price of the project is arbitrary and the chance of it changing in the process is very high.

What to expect from a contractor?

This question may be answered in many ways depending on the project and personal preferences.

Communication and good workmanship should be your basic expectation, yet beyond that, every homeowner is different. Clear understanding from the beginning between you and your contractor will facilitate the building process.

Tell your contractor how much you want to be involved in project and maybe write down some of your specific expectations. Share the list with the contractor. No items is too small.
