There is a great need for people to enter the construction industry and learn the trades to carry on into the future. At this moment in history it is an employee’s market and I strongly recommend that you learn more about the companies you are interested in to make your selection based on common values and potential opportunities. The work that you do as a carpenter is physically rewarding and the buildings you construct will stand for decades to come, a testament to your impact on the built environment.
As Passive House experts, it’s safe to say we spend a lot of time thinking about the operational energy use of our structures.

Aesthetics, feel, utility, durability, and cost are always critical components of any decision in the construction world. We add a few more qualifiers, and make sure they don’t compromise the rest.
