Busy Summer For Sarnia-Lambton Building Trades.

Sarnia-Lambton home builders are having a busy summer, even though Sarnia City Hall says the number of building permits issued for single family homes was down this year, as of July.

The latest building permit report for the city showed a total of 66 new single family homes in 2017, as of July, compared to 81 homes in the same seven-month period of 2016.

Lambton County’s building inspection department showed the same trend with a total of 47 new home permits in the first two quarters of the year in the nine municipalities it serves outside of Sarnia and Lambton Shores. That’s down from 60 new home permits the county issued at the same point in 2016, according to a recent report to county council.

Sarnia reported a total of 147 single-family home building permits in 2016, plus 42 multiple family dwellings.

Scott Henderson, president of the Sarnia-Lambton Home Builders Association, said local builders and the tradespeople who work for them have stayed busy this year.

Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
