If you’re curious about legal basement suites and how they can add value to your home, Mike also chats with the Basement Builder Group about what you need to know—especially if you’re hoping to generate extra income and attract quality tenants.
Innovations in Home Living
Beyond traditional renovations, Mike explores cutting-edge innovations that are shaping the future of how we build and live. Indoor air quality is a big one—Mike unpacks the growing importance of energy-efficient upgrades and explains how systems like ERVs (energy recovery ventilators) are helping create healthier living environments.
He even takes a look at 3D-printed homes and how they could play a major role in addressing housing shortages, speeding up build times, and reducing waste on job sites.

These conversations are inspiring, forward-looking, and rooted in real change.
