Every home that is part of the HOLMES Approved Homes Program built in an Empire low-rise community will undergo a series of inspections both during and after critical stages in construction, including building envelope reviews, thermographic scans, and a complete review of finishes, plumbing, HVAC and electrical systems. Homeowners will then receive a HOLMES Approved Homes summary report as a record of their home’s construction as well as to help build future value.

“We are honoured that the Holmes team personally selected us for the HOLMES Approved Homes Program,” said Paul A. Golini Jr., Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of Industry Relations at Empire.

“By providing our homeowners with transparent proof that their home has been built to be safer, stronger and more durable thanks to superior construction practices and a strict adherence to proper code, they can have peace of mind knowing their future home has been built to last and is a smart investment.”

Empire low-rise communities that are currently registered in the program include Eaton Square, Glow, Imagine, Lakeside Brampton, Lush at Victory, Summerlea, Victory, Wyndance and Wyndfield.
