Do your homework when engaging the services of a contractor B

uilding a new house just could be the biggest task you ever face. But the first question you need to ask yourself is: Will you be the general contractor or will you hire someone else to do the job?

There are pros and cons to both sides, but the answer lies in another question: Just how much are you willing to do?

If you have some building experience and are well-acquainted with local builders, roofers, plumbers, electricians, etc., then being your own general contractor is a good route.

You’ll likely save money or be able to invest in better quality products. However, if you sell your home within 10 years, you’ll also be responsible for any repairs resulting from building errors

or failures.

That’s too big a risk for many people and that’s why they’ll hire a general contractor to do the job. But that shouldn’t absolve you from doing a lot of homework.

Take the time to research contractors.

Ask them for references and make sure you follow up on calling those references.

Better still, visit a residence or two built by the contractor, knock on the doors and ask the owners if they’re happy with the contractor and the jobs they performed.

Also, follow-up on the trades the contractor deals with. A reputable contractor will usually deal with the same trades people for years.

SERVICES OFFERED: • Trucking - T/P, T/A, S/A • Commercial/Residential Excavating • Bobcat • Site Development • Septic Fields - Design & Installation • General Landscaping • Snow Removal • Land Clearing • Sand & Gravel • Bark Mulch • Topsoil/Compost

If the contractor seems to be holding back details or information, or doesn’t provide references, this is a red flag you should keenly pay attention to.

If you’re the contractor, there’s a lot more legwork. This involves countless visits to the local municipal planning department to find out the rules, to obtain permits and to get building inspections.

Also count on getting at least three quotes for everything that goes into a house. That list is long and the task seems daunting, but the more you do beforehand, the better it will be in the long-run.

Go online to get a building contractor’s checklist or, better yet, get a few Continued on page 4

From page 3 and compare them. The longer the list, the more thorough you will be and you won’t be surprised by extra expenses while you’re building.

Whether you are the contractor or you’ve hired a general contractor, you need to be involved in the building process.

Visit the job site regularly – daily if you can – to check on progress, ask a lot of questions, and be firm in getting straight answers.

You’ll also save money if you can do some jobs yourself, such as painting.

And if you don’t have any building skills, you can always clean up the job site. You might think that’s the job of the trades, but you’re paying someone $25-$40 an hour just to clean up.

If you don’t like cleaning, hire someone for $10-$12 an hour to do it.

The bottom line in building a new home is: Research thoroughly, get a variety of quotes and references, and make sure to give yourself ample time to do this.

After all, it’s your new house.

Nice price, now put it in writing Planning a home renovation? Looking for a builder to construct your new home?

There are many experienced and reliable contractors at work in your community – highly skilled professionals who do business the right way.

Unfortunately, not all contractors play by the same rules.

Some cut corners to offer lower prices. They promise you a “good deal” as long as nothing is written down and you pay in cash. These cash deals can mean a lot of risk for you. Contractors who do not do business properly do not protect you from accidents or their mistakes.

If there is a work-related injury or damage to your home, you could face lawsuits and financial loss. You could be responsible for your contractor’s unpaid bills. And you could be stuck with work that is incomplete or badly done.

While serious, these risks are easy to avoid. Before you agree to let anyone work on your home, take these three simple steps: know who you are dealing with, make sure you are protected from risks, and always get it in writing!

Rebate encourages builders and buyers Jeremy Deutsch Black Press There may never be a better time to buy a new home in B.C. than now.

That is the view of Canadian Home Builders Association B.C. President Doug Wittal following a move by the province to change the harmonized sales-tax threshold on new homes.

The Kamloops-based builder now believes it is up to the construction industry to sell the notion to a leery home-buying public.

“The consumer has to see it’s cheaper now than it was before,” Wittal said.

“They should be taking advantage of the HST while it’s in.”

The provincial government recently announced changes to the HST before the tax is phased out in 2013.

The B.C. new-housing rebate threshold will be increased to $850,000, effective April 1, meaning newly built homes will be eligible for an HST rebate of up to $42,500.

Under the current system, only new homes bought for less than $525,000 were eligible for a rebate.

The HST does not apply to resale housing.

In addition, purchasers of new sec-

ondary vacation or recreational homes outside the Greater Vancouver and Capital regional districts priced up to $850,000 will now be eligible to claim a provincial grant of up to $42,500, also effective April 1.

Homebuilders like Wittal have been arguing the perception of HST has had a negative impact on the industry and scared people away from buying a new home until the PST/GST returns.

He said buying a home under the HST is a good deal, pointing out under the tax, consumers get the full GST back as a rebate, rather than about a third of the GST under the former tax scheme.

Study touts Campbell River’s speedy permit process Campbell River processed development applications faster than 11 other similar-sized communities in each of the last four years.

City staff was consistently faster than the average time of the other communities in processing subdivision, zoning/rezoning, and development permit applications, according to a study conducted by consulting firm Acton.

The city’s best performance was in processing development permits.

In 2009 it took city planning staff 48 days to process applications, while the average was 100 days. With subdivision approval, it took 52 days in Campbell River when the average was 125 days in

the same year.

Zoning/rezoning applications took 170 days in Campbell River while the average was about 190 days.

“Our stats are absolutely fantastic news,” Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager, said. “Application processing times are very important in attracting investment and development.

If a community is perceived as having problems in terms of the amount of time it takes to process an application, that acts as a bit of a barrier to development.”

Blackwell said the statistics also reveal the value of the planning department. He was particularly impressed

K. Ross Construction Inc. Est. 1970

by the 2010 numbers – a year when the department was short on resources.

Development permit processing times were on average 50 days per full time employee last year, while the average was about 80 days.

Subdivision approvals went through in about 90 days in Campbell River when the average was about 100 days.

The study, which was conducted at the request of the City of Vernon to measure the value of its planning services, also looked at single-dwelling processing times. Although information from 2007-2010 is not available for Campbell River, last year’s times can be compared Continued on page 16

City staff not resting on their laurels From page 12 with 2010 average. The average processing time in 2011 was about five days while in 2010, the average of the other 11 communities was 22 days.

Other than Vernon, Blackwell said all the other communities remained anonymous so the city could compare itself against an average, and not another municipality.

He said although it’s obvious Campbell River stacks up well, planning staff are not going to rest easy.

“You never know how you’re doing,” Blackwell said. “These stats tell us we’re doing a fabulous job but that’s no reason to sit back on our haunches. We’re looking for opportunities to raise the bar.

“We want to improve what we do and the way we do it to ensure the citizens and the investors of Campbell River get the greatest value.”

He said staff ’s goal is to improve the city’s times even further.

Major Projects Portal opens door to opportunity

T

he Campbell River and District Chamber of Commerce has launched its Campbell River Major Projects Web Portal site.

It is now up to the business community to take the lead and register within the site’s supplier data base to promote all the business skills, trades, equipment and supplies that exist in Campbell River and surrounding area.

The portal project was proposed and developed by the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce with key project partners including BC Hydro with its proposed John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project, the Vancouver Island Construction Association (VICA) and the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance (VIEA).The Portal supports the Chamber’s goal to provide added value and relevance to its members and support the whole business community.

Chamber Executive Director Colleen Evans says what binds these partners

are their eagerness to promote and invest in Campbell River’s economic stability and growth. This collaboration has led to a strategically developed website that’s a one-stop, local supplier and community resource centre that will maximize the economic opportunities flowing from major construction projects in the area.

“This Portal demonstrates in very real terms that Campbell River is open for business,” Evans says. “It is a web window of opportunity to better prepare and showcase local businesses so that project bid proponents and their contractors can develop procurement strategies that take advantage of local services – with the potential to lead to more local business contracts and hiring.”

The Portal is an excellent example of leveraging opportunity with a proactive approach to business retention and development,” comments Chamber

President, Gary Thulin. “We strongly encourage businesses and suppliers to register and create a tailored profile for prime contractors to browse the tremendous resources that are available locally.”

To explore the Portal go to: http:// cr.majorprojects.ca . The site profiles not only supplier databases, but information on the John Hart project, and access and links to other important community resources including NIEFS and North Island College. Businesses who wish to register their company should find the “Register as a Supplier” box on the Portal Home Page, click on “read more” and follow the prompts.

Campbell River Chamber members have been pre-registered on the site.

Non-members can participate for a one-time small fee of $50. This fee helps maintain the site. If a business decides to become a Chamber member then the $50 fee will be rebated.

There’s an old saying that a person’s home is their castle.

But for too many people, especially seniors and persons with disabilities, home can be full of obstacles — both physical and financial.

All too often, seniors and persons with disabilities need help just getting around their own home. They may not need much — for example, a grab bar in the washroom — but these improvements cost money to install. Money they may not have.

That’s why the province announced a new housing program aimed at low-income seniors and people with disabilities. The Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program will help pay for home adaptations that improve accessibility and make life easier — and more independent.

That’s the great thing about the HAFI program. It will enable people to stay in their own homes and communities, whereas previously it may have been necessary to seek assisted-living accommodation elsewhere.

Rentals also eligible From page 20 HAFI is jointly funded by the federal and provincial governments, via a $15 million investment over three years. Each household is eligible for financial assistance up to $20,000.

To be eligible for the program, the adaptations must directly address the household’s disability or diminished abilities.

These adaptations may include improvements such as handrails in hallways or stairways, ramps for ease of access, easy to reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors, walk-in showers with grab bars, or bath-tub grab bars and seats.

Eligible adaptations must also be permanent and fixed to the home, though exceptions can be made for equipment designed to give access to existing basic facilities, such as bath lifts.

Of course, not everyone who needs home adaptations actually owns their own home. That’s why we ensured both homeowners and tenants would be able to apply. Landlords in the private market who wish to modify a unit rented to an eligible tenant can also apply.

EnerGuide for new houses Moving into your new home should be the experience of a lifetime. You want that experience to be the best it can be.

That’s why the Office of Energy Efficiency of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has extended EnerGuide for Houses, a service that provides independent expert advise on energy-efficient home renovations, to give builders and new home buyers the same kind of advise about new home building.

How does EnerGuide for New Houses help me get a more efficient house?

The EnerGuide evaluation begins before your first visit to your builder’s model home. Builders working with EnerGuide for New Houses have their house plans evaluated by an EnerGuide for New Houses advisor. They then work with the advisor to develop energy upgrade packages that have moneysaving features you will want to include in your new home.

Together, they use NRCan’s computer software to model different options, looking for cost-effective measures that will improve your comfort and lower your energy bills. They focus on ways to improve the energy efficiency of heating and ventilation equipment, such as the furnace, the building envelope, such as windows and doors, insulation levels, such as in the Continued on page 25

You make the final choice Quality, Tradition, Trust From page 23 attic. Builders will offer you options, but you make the final choice about what you would like to include in your home.

Many of the most valuable energy improvements are easier and cheaper to install while the home is being built. Any investment in energy efficiency improvements you make at the building stage will pay you back faster and, of course, will start to pay you back the day you move in.

Are there any other benefits to having an EnerGuide for New Houses rating?

EnerGuide gives you solid evidence that energy-efficient features can make a difference to your wallet, but it also helps your future investment. Homeowners are aware of energy prices and are beginning to value evidence of energy efficiency. The EnerGuide label gives you that evidence. And when you are ready to move on, you’ll be selling a home with proven efficiency, with a rating backed by the Government of Canada.

By choosing energy efficiency options, you’ll also be making a choice to help protect our environment. By using less energy, you reduce the greenhouse gas emissions your home produces that contribute to climate change. For more information, visit http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/energuide

Multiple Listing Service (MLS) sales summary data released by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) shows that 2011 was a solid and stable year for Real Estate activity on Vancouver Island.

Across VIREB’s six zones average sales prices remained virtually unchanged from what they were in 2010. The 2011 average sales price for a home sold within VIREB’s coverage area was $341,537, down incrementally from 2010’s $342,324 average price.

“Stability in the marketplace is the word of the day,” said outgoing VIREB President Jim Stewart. “Across the region the housing inventory remains stable. Homes that are priced competitively continue to sell. The opportunity for continued growth in 2012 is very strong, especially when compared to a lot of places in Canada.”

Multiple Listing Service (MLS) statistics for December 2011 indicated a seasonal drop in sales activity for the month.

Across the VIREB area there were 182 single family units sold in December, a decrease of 19 per cent compared to DecemContinued on page 27

Good time to get into the marketplace From page 26 ber 2010 when 264 homes were sold. The average price of a single family home sold in December 2011 through the VIREB MLS® system was $315,239 down six per cent from the $333,710 posted in December 2010.

However the MLS stats also report that there were 5.5 per cent more listings on the market in VIREB’s coverage area then at the same point in 2010. Currently there are 2,022 single family homes listed on the MLS system as compared to the 1,912 homes listed for sale at the end of December 2010.

“Because we have a good foundation in our Real Estate market this is a good time to get into the marketplace,” explained VIREB President Guy Bezeau. “Price wise we’re pretty much unchanged when compared to last year. Overall there is stabilized, cautious optimism for 2012.”

Comparing December 2010 to December 2011, the average sale prices across VIREB’s six zones saw: Campbell River drop 11% (to $271,220), the Comox Valley went up 13% (to $364,422), Nanaimo went down 7% (to $332,400), Parksville/Qualicum was down 9% (to $343,292), Port Alberni/West Coast was down 26% to $177,179 and the Cowichan Valley was down 1% (to $363,172).
