A PHIUS Certified Builder has taken the PHIUS certified building course and passed the exam. They build the pre-certified projects, execute air-tightness, and many other in-the-field requirements. FInd a PHIUS Certified Builder
A PHIUS+ Rater goes on site and completes the quality assurance and quality control checks for the project. They are an integral part of the design team. They make sure that the designs get built correctly. Find a PHIUS+ Rater
