Professional Home Builders Institute

PHBI is here to help you lay the foundation of understanding across the home building industry so that your team can nail it when it comes to interactions with homeowners across their new home journey.

We’ve heard from our Builder partners that communication gaps and inconsistent understanding between teams can create challenges along the way.

PHBI’s specialized Career Pathways are designed to support your team at every critical touchpoint. By strengthening knowledge and consistency across roles, your organization can improve efficiency, enhance the homeowner experience, and inspire confidence during one of life’s most significant milestones—purchasing a new home.

The ANHWP and PHBI teams were proud to sponsor and support the 2026 Peanut Butter Classic!

It was an incredible day of women supporting women, building meaningful connections, and bringing together community. We loved meeting so many amazing people who stopped by, and were inspired by the passion, enthusiasm, and camaraderie throughout the event.

We're looking forward to next year! 🥜💜

Did you know that you can apply for the Canada-Alberta Productivity Grant to secure funding for your team?

The CAPG is an employer-driven program meant to partially reimburse the cost for an employer to send their employee(s) for training.

Employers apply on behalf of their employees and invest in training, like PHBI courses, that enhance productivity and workforce competitiveness.

A big congratulations to Matt Harding of Mattamy Homes on achieving his Accredited Master Builder (AMB) certification through Professional Home Builders Institute!

A well-earned milestone that speaks to dedication, expertise, and raising the bar in homebuilding.

PHBI is excited to bring you a brand new course!

Rather than focusing on minimum compliance, this course explores how Section 9.36 operates as a system. You will examine:

• Effective insulation strategies

• Continuous insulation

• Air tightness

• Service water heating requirements

• Prescriptive and performance-based approaches

• Simple trade-offs.

You will also review common misinterpretations and unintended consequences that can arise when energy measures are poorly integrated.

Many innovations have come from adopting new building solutions across recent history, but it hasn't always been without unintended consequences such as asbestos insulation. That's why we must ask ourselves these questions to address the entire house as a system.

To learn more, you can take PHBI's Construction Technology class across all three regions!
