When Building Knowledge Canada's Gord Cooke was ready to create a family cottage in Southampton, Ontario, he knew he wanted it to stand for the building standards, values, and strategies he built his career around. In this four-part video series, Gord introduces you to his team of contractors, suppliers, and experts who helped make his dream of a Net Zero cottage possible.

• Find out about Gord's vision for his family cottage and what this project means to him.
• You'll meet a third-generation contractor who took the design from paper to reality.
