Built Green Canada offers builder and supporting members the opportunity to show leadership in sustainability, differentiate themselves in the marketplace, and create goodwill within and for the construction sector. The programs are substantially less to participate in financially and are easier to administer than many other programs, offering four levels of certification, which means the builder can work with the consumer to customize their home based on budgets and priorities.

Types of Members

Builders are those responsible for the design, creation, and construction of housing. $500 plus tax / year
Small Builders are those with less than 10 homes total, per year. For verification of Small Builder status, you're required to provide documentation that supports your eligibility—accepted documents include warranty forms, permit applications, or other related documentation, such as a non-notarized statutory declaration acknowledging related companies and that their volume is under five million a year. $250 plus tax / year.
Supporting members are those responsible for products or services they sell or provide for housing construction. $250 plus tax / year.

Fees are based on a calendar year and may be prorated, depending on the time of year they're processed.
