What stakeholders say



Cindy Davidson

"….If not for CPBH, I might have given up my fight with Tarion given my exhaustion on my new home, a new construction disaster…..Housing is a huge industry and new homes are a major activity going forward. CPBH is a vital resource for consumers."

Cindy Davidson

Rhona DesRoches

T. N.

“…If not for CPBH, homeowners like myself would be left vulnerable to subpar construction practices and potential risks to our families' safety and financial stability. CPBH serves as a beacon of hope, empowering homeowners to demand the quality and accountability they deserve”

C. B.

"…CPBH’s work is important because there is no other agency, organization, ombudsman, company or group who will listen and provide guidance. And without costing a dime!.."

Sean Tracey, Deputy Chief (Retired)

"…CPBH’s work is important because consumers
do not appreciate that the national framework
protecting their single most important purchase
in their lifetime is fragile at best. Their rights and interests must be vigorously represented against
pressures to reduce oversight and cut corners.
No other national voice is doing this as
effectively as CPBH….

Sean Tracey, Deputy Chief (Retired)

Senator Pierrette Ringuette

“…Thousands of Canadians have been aided for free by CPBH, people faced…with code violations, unsafe homes…it is a blessing that CPBH exists to help people....I am inspired by the commitment CPBH has for advocating for better consumer protections…building code improvement and enforcement. I am truly grateful...to acknowledge and thank CPBH for their important work.”

Senator Pierrette Ringuette

Alberta Minister of Municipal Affairs

Rick, Lori and Mara Bryden

"CPBH was the first friendly voice who came to our assistance during our building dispute. We felt very much alone until we found CPBH and they showed us how many similar unfortunate situations there are in Canada. Not only did CPBH provide knowledge of systems, but also emotional support so necessary during these disputes…"
