why we are passive

house builders in Melbourne

Our decision to become Passive House Builders in Melbournes West and Melburnes North was rooted in a deep-seated belief that sustainability and comfort should go hand in hand. We were captivated by the idea of creating spaces that not only offer a sanctuary from the elements but also leave a minimal ecological footprint.

We always wanted more; we wanted to be sustainable but never knew what that looked like until we underwent training to become a passive house builders in Melbournes West. We are now proud to call ourselves one of the experts in this field as we have completed three passive house projects in Melbourne and have a number of others on the horizon.

For us, passive house ensures all of our work is checked and verified, so we know for a fact that your home is a healthy place to be and extremely durable.

We don’t do this because we think it’s cool, and because it’s the hot new thing on the block. We are early adopters and live and breathe this. High performance is the champion on any one of our projects as we are dedicated to building homes that nurture the physical and mental well-being of the occupants.

We have now found out what it means to be a true sustainable builder, and are proud to say that we are part of the proactive change to building healthier better homes!

we are passive house experts in Melbourne!

Passive house construction is growing in Melbourne, and there are now many builders who, like us, have carried out training to become certified passive house tradespersons. But doing this course does not make you an expert. Becoming an expert in Passive House requires hours and hours of onsite and offsite learning. Our expertise does not come from a course. It comes from actually building multiple certified passive house projects in Melbourne.

It's fair to say that we are the leaders in this growing landscape. We have built multiple new build passive house projects, and are currently undertaking our first ever passive house retrofit (enerphit) and we are about to start another one very soon. We work with a wide variety of passive house architects and those who are entering the space for the first time.

For us, this has not become a tick box because it's cool. We do it because we believe in it. We believe that passive house construction is the ultimate sustainable home, and if we are to refer to ourselves as sustainable builders, we must go all in!

We not only educate our clients on the importance of building to passive house standards, but we also have a passion for teaching and educating the building industry and the general public on the importance of healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient living.

  • Great attention to detail; felt like a genuine partner - willing to listen and discuss what we wanted while bringing their own thoughts to the table; very friendly and diligent; take pride in their work and produce a high quality product. Very satisfied with the outcome.

    Forrest Passivhaus Family

  • One of the things we appreciated most was the level of care and communication throughout the build. The team held regular fortnightly onsite meetings to ensure we were always up to speed, and they were consistently friendly, approachable, and available to answer any questions we had—big or small. We genuinely felt like they were an extension of our family.

    Champion Passivhaus Family

  • We’ve been working with Matt and his team for over 8 years now and have built a really solid working relationship over that time. Matt is great to work with — reliable, approachable, and always focused on getting the best outcome for the project and our clients.

    Design team we work with

  • We have had the pleasure of working with Matt across number of jobs in our architecture practice. His knowledge of sustainability is amazing and has great attention to detail, resulting in well built and comfortable homes that also look good. What we really appreciate is his excellent communication with us and our clients, and he takes his time explaining things and troubleshooting whenever it is needed.

    Architect we work with

  • At the end of the project, although somewhat sad to see the team leave the property, we have been left with a legacy of comfort, energy efficiency and satisfaction, and we have a well built and certified home for our family to enjoy for many years to come.

our purpose

All homes are different. They come in different shapes and sizes, but they should all be a place where you feel comfortable and safe. We believe all homes should be built to the highest standard where the health of their occupants is put before everything else. They should be high-performing but also require little energy to run. A home should be built to last, future-proofed, personal and designed to cater to the individuals living there.

As builders located in the inner west of Melbourne, we are looking to flip the building industry on its head. We work in all inner Melbourne suburbs of Melbourne. have also recently extended our range to build homes in the Macedon Rangers and Gisborne area.

we are not your typical sustainable builders

We are not your typical building company. We are much more than that. As Passive House builders, we push all limits with what is possible.

So what does sustainability mean to us?

Well, it's very, very simple. 

If it doesn't last, it doesn't matter..

Passive House construction is the only true way to achieve this.

We look to provide you with an experience that has a fresh and holistic approach to construction. We work in a collaborative environment with all those involved in the project, bridging the gap between Architect and builder.

We take a holistic approach, working with the client and Architect in the infant stages. We all want the same result, so why shouldn't we work together to make that achievable?

So let us take you on a journey to create and build your home. One that is going to be more comfortable than you can ever imagine!
