Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Modern Home Builders. This month our expert contributors explore some new areas. Ross Vandermark explores the versatility and benefits of skylights – more than just window options, they provide opportunities to differentiate a build, while adding advantages for homeowners.

Staying with the theme of healthier builds, Lauren Thomsen discusses passive house techniques. The standard is aspirational, even if official certification is not the end goal. Will high performance building strategies become the norm?

Finally, Kerry O’ Duibhir talks about restoring historic brownstone homes in New York, and ensuring the past and future can exist together under one roof.

If you’ re looking for perspectives from home builders, then our insights section shares stories of success, strategies for growth and highlights some extraordinary projects.
