What makes us an Eco/Sustainable builder?
Initially, we establish if you want to build an eco-friendly home because of the following reasons;
- To reduce your carbon footprint
- To reduce energy consumption/ bills
- To go completely ‘off grid’ by choice or due to a lack of services on acreage
Our builder, Kevin Larkman conducts a site analysis to establish the positioning, site costs and orientation. This plays a crucial role to naturally get the maximum efficiency. We can either use your custom plans or we have a range of plans that can be modified to suit your block. Alternatively, we arrange a meeting with a local drafting company, and they can design the home for you.
We provide Eco Options – your home is treated individually; each home has its own needs and can vary to reach the maximum star level for the area and site. We custom build and have never built the same house or specifications twice. We tend to attract a cliental that likes to do their own research and often knows what they want in their homes. We also embrace installing new eco building products and materials. Kevin listens to what your preferences are, he then guides you on how to combine all of the custom elements to build your home. Kevin also allows flexibility when planning the home for example allowing clients to supply materials or use trades that they have a preference toward.
