Licensing & Consumer Services (HPO) Owner Builder Exam #13 – Government Corruption or Incompetence?
Licensing & Consumer Services (HPO) decided to bring in this owner-builder exam with zero evidence of a problem and then lied to the public noting the exam was brought in to “protect the consumer.” Smells of government corruption in my opinion.
Licensing & Consumer Services (HPO) Owner Builder Exam #12 – Those who fail not receiving refund.
The Licencing and Consumer Service (HPO) should be embarrassed yet again.
Licensing & Consumer Services (HPO) Owner Builder Exam #11 – More Stupid Questions/Exam Courses
A company is now offering a one day $869 owner-builder exam preparation course!
Licensing & Consumer Services (HPO) Owner Builder Exam #10 – Builders on a cruise in the Caribbean!
While you as the home owner have to write an exam which may need to be reschedule due to technical difficulties once you arrive builders are cruising the Caribbean WITH NO EXAM…….seems fair right?
Licensing & Consumer Services (HPO) Owner Builder Exam Part #9 – Name change and more new stupidity
BC Housing -Licensing & Consumer Services (HPO) Owner Builder Part Exam #10 – Name change and more new stupidity.
And yes, the HPO name has now changed to BC Housing – Licensing & Consumer Office in order to improve the quality of home construction.
HPO Office Owner Builder Exam Part 8: Exam priority is failure, not useful learning!
The exam questions are designed to make you fail; not to help you learn through the process.
HPO Office Owner Builder Exam Part 6: CEO of BC Housing Makes $317,000 per year.
The CEO of BC Housing makes over $317,000 per year. The VP in charge of the HPO makes over $157,000 per year. These individuals go around B.C. talking about “affordable housing,” while they introduce an idiotic owner-builder exam, with no study guide, with questions designed for you to fail. If I made hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in a comfy desk job with vacation and a huge pension I would go out and hire a licenced builder too. For the rest of us with have to deal with this unconstitutional exam for the right to build a home on our own properties.

HPO Office Owner Builder Exam Part 7: Preparation and Sample Exam Questions
Email me at markojuras@shaw.ca for a copy of the study guide.
HPO Office Owner Builder Exam Part 5: If I failed the exam I would sue the “Home Protection Office.”
Home Protection Office, what an ironic name. Protects no one and promotes further unaffordability of homes in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.
HPO Office Owner Builder Exam Part 4: more exam questions that won’t help you build your home.
Make sure you know a lot about chimney code and a bunch of other stuff that won’t apply to your personal owner builder home.
HPO Office Owner Builder Exam Part 3: REAL LIFE reasons why the exam is not necessary!
There is already so much red tape involved in building a home that it is impossible to build a home with a vast array for special consultants with a lot of education and training.
HPO Office Owner Builder Exam Part 2: people are pissed off and exam question examples!
A lot of very upset BC residents continue to email me about the new owner builder exam. A number have suggested a class action lawsuit on various basis. Individuals that have written the exam are also frustrated with the type of questions being asked on the exam that don’t translate to the reality of owner building a home.
