For over 30 years, Karl Champley, Master Builder and well-known host of DIY Network’s Wasted Space and winner of Ellen’s Design Challenge on HGTV, has lent his commercial and residential construction expertise to countless large-scale and home projects around the globe.

Not only does Karl use the most effective building techniques and up-to-date designs in any project he has his hands on, he’s also passionate about incorporating environmentally conscious, energy products and materials. As a result of this passion, Karl became a certified environmental home inspector and educates homeowners about the true meaning of “going green.”
