Our Focus
We offer hands-on training at our Colorado Experience Center, continuous online learning through our Ci App and help connect builders with solutions to improve build quality, make fewer mistakes and stand-out from the competition, all while remaining cost-competitive.
Industry Experts
Industry experts Justin Wilson, Gord Cooke, Mark LaLiberte, and Andrew Oding together represent a deep expert authority in building science. With decades of combined experience, our team presents best building practice methods using a “house as a system” approach which ensures that each part of the house works in harmony with the others.
The team at CI Live is extremely knowledgeable as to the science of home building and presents it in a way that is easy to understand. It is obvious that they are dedicated to what works instead of pushing a particular brand name.
