Developer / Builder Recipes for Low-Cost, All-Electric, Step 4 Residential Construction. The ZEBx Decarb Lunch, Jul 2021 The ZEBx Podcast

Season 1, Episode 5
Recorded on Jul 22, 2021
In our June Decarb Lunch, we presented ZEBx’s in-depth analysis of construction costs for high-performance multi-unit residential buildings in BC. Of the seven buildings in the study, two all-electric, Step 4 buildings were constructed for well under the average cost of similar code-minimum residential buildings in the area. Both buildings were constructed by developer/builders: Vidorra Developments and Highstreet Ventures. How did they achieve this impressive result? Was it the fact that they are developer/builders? Do they have some special recipe for constructability or cost-effective high-performance building development?
