Who can do LEED certification in Quebec?
I am building a home in quebec and I'm thinking of making it leed certified but I have no idea how to start and hoping for ideas. The person I bought the land from said there are no home inspectors in quebec which was a big suprise. I heard if I go for leed certification then at least i have an inspection from them. We also need to find a home building contractor with experience building leed houses if possible. Since I can't be there for the whole build to watch it I want to be sure there is some kind of oversight. We arent from the area so we don't know anyone or where to look. Any tips would be great thanks.
To get a home LEED certified in Quebec you will need to find a Quebec LEED for Homes Provider, which you can do at that link in our building professionals directory to take you through the certication process. And you are right, in the absense of home inspectors in quebec, a LEED provider will send inspectors to ensure the highest quality of work. If your only intention is to make sure an independent third party inspects your home then there are possibly other ways that may be cheaper, such as reaching out to a local home inspector.
