WHY BUILDERS WORK WITH NEXT LEVEL

Meet the code for less, pass on the first test, and sell homes buyers trust.

We find the cheapest compliant path without overbuilding, test the home before drywall hides problems, and support you through the warranty period.

FAST TURNAROUND

5 business days for SB-12 (Ontario's energy efficiency standard for new houses) compliance and energy modelling.
Within 1 week to book blower door tests.

WHAT YOU GET

One team from first drawings to final test.

The cheapest way to comply

We compare the SB-12 Performance Path with the prescriptive packages, so costly items can be swapped for cheaper measures that achieve the same result.

Faster approvals

Clean compliance documentation with every model, so permits move instead of bouncing back with questions.

Right-sized systems

Heat loss and gain calculations, duct sizing and ventilation design sized to the home instead of oversized.

Problems caught early

Blower door testing and thermography find air leaks and insulation gaps before drywall hides them, and before buyers find them.

Labels buyers value

EnerGuide, ENERGY STAR for New Homes and Net Zero readiness. 96% of Ontario new home buyers named energy efficiency a top factor in Tarion's research.

A buyer incentive to market

Our EnerGuide rating can help buyers claim 25% of their mortgage insurance premium back through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Eco Plus, Sagen or Canada Guaranty.

THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD

Fewer call-backs, fewer surprises.

  • Systems tested and adjusted against the design before handover
  • Defects caught while the trades are still on the hook under Tarion coverage
  • For condo, mid-rise and commercial projects, automated commissioning that flags faults through the first warranty year
  • Lessons carried into your next project

We needed a full residential energy audit completed FAST to qualify for a major government rebate before the program deadline. Adam at Next Level Consulting jumped on it immediately — he rearranged his schedule, came out the same day, and worked evenings to get the paperwork submitted in time. Thanks to his report and hustle, we qualified for the maximum rebate and are already seeing lower bills…

Next Level Consulting was amazing. Quick, thorough, knowledgeable, organized, detail oriented, excellent communication and compassionate about a tough situation. I'm not sure we would have gotten all the steps covered by another company. Thank you for helping us out when we really needed it!
