NET ZERO – OAKVILLE’S FIRST as seen in WEST OF THE CITY 2024

Being a first is always an honour, a notable event . Our new custom built home recently completed in Oakville is Metro’s first NET ZERO ready home under the Canadian Home Builders Association’s Net Zero  program. West of the City magazine featured the home in its latest issue. A NET ZERO home consumes far less energy than its code built counterpart, in fact this home was tested by an independent third party and verified to need a mere 40% of the energy of the same house built under the current code. Add to that the further comfort aspects of a NET ZERO home, a stringent air exchange system, a sealed shell keeping out those uncomfortable drafts and you’ll begin to appreciate what a high performance home is, besides doing your part in the climate change fight!

William Street, Oakville

These clients are Long time Oakville residents and wanted to be close to the downtown. The charm of the historical district drew them in to this formidable “rebuild”. This project presented a myriad of challenges. An inviolable must was to maintain the façade as if it had been “freshly painted” in the 1860’s. Windows were painstakingly matched to authentic architectural details.

Tribute to Paul van Nuland….

We are all mourning the loss of our friend and co-worker Paul van Nuland. For the past months he had been in treatment but regrettably passed away on May 12 2019 at home with his family. We’ll remember Paul for his quit wit and corny jokes, his fishing stories and  simply a good sense of humour. Paul was always the man you wanted on the job. He would tear through work like a whirlwind. His wirey frame was deceiving as he could outwork the best of them. When the job needed doing, and some of them were ugly,  Paul was there to lead the charge and “get ‘er done”.
