Shortages on lumber and other building materials combined with historically low interest rates has fuelled an increased demand for new homes — allowing Canada’s housing market to hit all-time highs as reported by the Financial Post. However, the future of the booming Canadian housing market is still uncertain as outlined in projections for the coming years: The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) predictions are enough to make any contracts manager or home builder wary about the future of the Canadian housing market. The CMHC is forecasting a decline in home sale prices between 9 and 18 percent from the pre-COVID-19 market in the coming years, and stands by their predictions despite the current upward trend, as reported by BNN Bloomberg. What does this mean for new builds? It means that home builders and contracts managers have to overcome new and pressing challenges. Specifically, how can they achieve meaningful cost savings during construction while also building quality homes that stand out in a precarious market?
Regardless of the impacts of the current climate, there is also the challenge of meeting the changing needs of prospective home buyers long-term: They are looking for comfortable, energy-efficient homes that can help them save on energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint. What’s more, in a time of prolonged uncertainty, home buyers are looking for convenience, exceptional service and cost stability post move-in.
In order to address and overcome these challenges, so much comes down to working with the right partner during the complete building process to ensure you receive expert consultation and selection of premium equipment, meaningful capital cost savings to help you build quality homes all while adhering to the evolving building code.

Customize the Comfort Value Bundle for your new builds
Future-proof your projects with the selection of premium equipment from top manufacturers during the construction phase of your projects.
The Comfort Value Bundle Program allows you to combine equipment in a convenient bundle that will help reduce the homeowners rental rate; the more equipment you bundle, the more homeowners save through discounts. For builders, bundling with the Comfort Value Bundle also allows for larger incentives that come with adding more equipment to your projects.
Plus start your homeowners off on the right path towards potential energy savings with energy-efficient equipment rentals that come with 24/7/365 customer care from Reliance. Our builder program offers custom solutions for builders who can count on the dedicated support and expertise that we’ve offered our clients for years.
Here is how the process works:
- We conduct an initial consultation and recommend mechanical needs and equipment for the home
- Equipment is ordered online and arrives on site as needed
- An allowance is provided to offset costs for builder trades to install equipment.
- Post move-in, homeowners become Reliance rental customers. Your homeowners will receive 24/7/365 customer care and one, predictable monthly bill that includes costs of maintenance, service and repairs, parts and labour
Installation through the Residential New Home Construction (RNC) Program* (available in select regions):
- We will respond to the builders tender request including plumbing, heating, HVAC, water purification and Smart Home
- We promptly deliver the equipment when and where you need it
- Our team of licensed, trained technicians will install the equipment according to exact standards and specifications
Generate market demand and keep your new homeowners happy
In an unpredictable and competitive housing market, differentiating your homes is essential to capturing the attention of savvy home buyers, generating demand and maximizing profitability. Outfitting your projects by having access to a variety of equipment options along with the expert consult of Reliance Key Account Managers is beneficial for home builders and home buyers alike; builders can save thousands on capital costs, secure expert installation* and reduce risk throughout every step of the process. They can then generate more demand by marketing the value and benefits of premium, energy-efficient equipment to homebuyers, and the savings they’ll find that can then be translated into other, home customization options like finishings.
Finally, when home buyers move in, they immediately become Reliance customers and gain access to quality equipment without having to incur the risks or financial outlay of ownership such as paying for installation, most repairs, dealing with service inconsistencies and more.
