Conventional houses are not subjected to this extra inspection or testing. This is in addition to any regular inspections performed by the municipality or utilities. But R-2000 Quality Assurance doesn't end there. An additional air tightness test is also conducted by a technician. This involves the temporary installation of a special blower-door in the home which depressurizes the home.
Real quality can stand up to a close inspection.
The certification process is managed through a network of regional R-2000 offices across Canada. After reviewing the builder's documents and ensuring everything is in order, the regional office issues a numbered R-2000 Certificate for the home. This is presented to the homeowners and becomes a valuable part of their property records. Also included is a R-2000 label which has to be affixed to the electrical panel. Canada has become a world leader in the home building business and R-2000 Homes are our premier new home product.
