October marks RenoMark's Renovation Month, Canadian Contractor's podcast The Hammer Podcast invited Dwayne Butler of Master Edge Homes to talk about one of the biggest opportunities in renovation today: adapting homes so older adults and people with disabilities can stay in them. Dwayne breaks down the Canadian Home Builders' Association's Adaptiv Home course, which trains contractors on what these projects require and how to carry them out safely and to code.

Master Edge Homes' own Dwayne Butler chaired BILD's Renovator and Custom Builder Town Hall last week, welcoming about 30 GTA contractors to Euro Tile and Stone for an afternoon of industry connection and education. As chair of the BILD Renovator Executive Council, Dwayne spoke about the value of staying connected and informed, along with BILD's ongoing push for builder licensing in Ontario, a move that protects homeowners and rewards contractors who do things right.

The session also featured Gord Cooke of Building Knowledge, who shared three practical upgrades that move any renovation closer to Net Zero performance: proper basement insulation, triple glazed windows, and a tighter building envelope. Simple changes, big impact, and a reminder that energy efficiency and everyday comfort go hand in hand.

It's why we stay involved with BILD and RenoMark: better education means better homes for our clients across the GTA.
