Pratt Homes Goes Pink

“They just don’t build homes like they used to” is a commonly heard phrase. While often used, it is truly a misconception. Homes are built a lot better than they used to be. In fact, on January 1st a new Building Code came into effect mandating a lot of changes. Most notably are the changes to insulation values, heating and air-conditioning.

The Pink board on the exterior of our new homes in Barrie is an insulating board that helps seal up the home and reduce the amount of heat loss.

At Pratt Homes we embrace the changes even though they mean a slightly higher cost of building. Better insulation values and a tighter built home means savings for our homeowners in the long run. Buying a new Pratt Home means that you will save on your heating bill and help reduce the environmental footprint produced by your home. So before you buy, compare the many benefits of purchasing a new home with a resale home.

To comply with the new provincial building code, our new townhouses in Barrie use pink insulation board that helps seal up the home and reduce the amount of heat lost.

Pratt Homes Barrie President, Karen Hansen, discusses the importance of creating a balance between growth, new home and condo development in Barrie and conservation through intensification.  These are issues builders and developers are facing in Barrie and other cities across Ontario.  New home development projects like the Manhattan Condominiums and Southwoods Townhomes are Pratt Homes’ way of striking that important balance.

Pratt Homes and the Canadian Homebuilder’s Association Simcoe County were proud to be part of a Humanitarian Build program during the Ontario Homebuilder’s Association 2011 Conference in the Dominican Republic this past November.  Many families were helped, we made many new friends and everyone involved was enriched by the experience.

A recent article in the Barrie Examiner explores the land shortage issue and new home construction in Barrie where new home starts in 2011 did not keep pace with the rest of the province.

 

Work continued throughout the holidays and the buildings look great!

 

Extensive effort went into the selection of a beautiful faux “silk” wallpaper for the common areas in both buildings.

 

Professional wallpaper installers are currently on site hanging paper on the fourth floor of building 39 and doing a fantastic job!
