Mike Holmes Green Building Initiative

Mike Holmes, the crusading contractor / star of Holmes on Homes is in talks with home builders about forming a new building company to construct “eco-friendly homes that meet standards above the building code basics” across Canada.

If you’ve watched his show (on the Discovery Home channel in the US and HGTV in Canada), you know he likes to rail about the declining quality of new homes and the shoddy workmanship he finds. Now he’s trying to do something about it. And going green to boot.

“We’re in negotiations and talks now about building communities,” Holmes said. “We’ll start out West and then move right across the country.”

The concept is to build homes that are designed and inspected by Holmes, using eco-products that have the Holmes seal of approval.

Can it get any better??
