The Building Better Homes™
interactive CD program, which Mark co-developed, breaks new ground in home construction education by teaching cutting-edge, easy-to-access techniques through hands-on video, close-up photos, construction details, animations and step-by-step instructions. Using parts of his own Prairie-style home, which he constructed as a demonstration project, he helps to illustrate construction techniques such as proper site drainage, water management, advanced wall systems, ventilation, and window installation.

“Mark is one of the, if not THE top-notch building science trainer in North America. I have had the pleasure of working with Mark for more than a decade and have consistently seen him effectively engage audiences, accurately convey information, promote meaningful discussion and end up changing the way building practitioners design and construct buildings. Mark's seminars are lively and interactive, thought-provoking and fun, and very informative. Audiences always respond positively and go away armed with sound principles and practical applications for making better buildings.”
