Penticton-based energy advisor for Okanagan-Similkameen Part 9 builders: Step Code reports, modelling, blower-door testing, F280, TECA ventilation checklists, and as-built files.

Apollo Building Performance
Jesse Cummings Advisor / Owner 250-858-4808 jesse@apollobp.ca

Apollo is based in Penticton and built for Part 9 builders who need a practical energy advisor across the Okanagan-Similkameen. The core service area includes Naramata, Summerland, Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos, Princeton, and nearby projects where permit-stage modelling, construction-stage testing, and occupancy-stage reporting need to stay coordinated.

The service-area question is not just distance. It is whether Apollo can keep the energy advisory scope, municipality or AHJ instructions, site-visit timing, and closeout documents aligned from drawings review through the as-built report.

For builders outside Penticton, send the drawing set or shared link, address, municipality or AHJ, current stage, target permit or inspection date, and any forms or comments already issued. Apollo can confirm whether the site visit timing works and return a quote by phase before the builder commits. For workflow questions, use the Penticton Step Code guide or the builder FAQ.

Coverage fit

Start with project stage, not just the town name.

  • Before permit: drawings review, HOT2000 modelling, Step Code reporting, F280, and TECA ventilation checklist support
  • During framing: mid-construction blower-door testing while the air barrier is still visible
  • Near occupancy: final airtightness testing, mechanical documentation, construction-change review, and as-built closeout
  • Any stage: confirm the municipality or AHJ that will receive the project paperwork
Site visits

Book travel around useful construction milestones.

  • Mid-construction visits work best before insulation, vapour barrier, drywall, or board cover key air-barrier details
  • Final visits work best when exterior openings, envelope penetrations, and relevant mechanical systems are complete
  • Remote drawing review can start before site work is ready
  • Share site access details early for rural, hillside, or out-of-town projects
AHJ coordination

Keep local instructions attached to the file.

  • Send permit forms, Step Code instructions, plan-check comments, or inspection notes already received
  • Do not assume a neighbouring municipality uses the same submission process
  • Keep the builder or applicant responsible for final submission unless the AHJ gives different instructions
  • Use the Penticton Step Code guide for Penticton-specific workflow context
Next step

Send the project basics before creating more town pages.

  • Drawing set or shared drive link
  • Project address, municipality or AHJ, builder/applicant contact, and current stage
  • Target permit, mid-construction, final test, or occupancy date
  • Any known Step Code, F280, TECA, ventilation, blower-door, or as-built requirements already communicated
