High Performance Projects

At Carland Constructions, we're driven by a singular purpose: to build homes that just feel better. While Passive House certification is the gold standard, the "premiership cup" of construction, we firmly believe that not every home needs that specific sticker to achieve an exceptional level of comfort, health, and energy efficiency. We specialise in high-performance homes across Melbourne, applying the same rigorous building science and meticulous attention to detail that define Passive House construction. Our clients consistently rave about the results, describing their homes as "a home that we don't need to do anything to live comfortably in".

We've proven that homes can perform incredibly close to Passive House standards without formal certification. How do we do it? We obsess over details that many others overlook, ensuring superior airtightness, installing high-quality windows, maximising insulation, implementing effective water management, and integrating mechanical ventilation for optimal indoor air quality. It's about building homes that are healthier, optimised, and more comfortable – built responsibly and simply built better. This means you get a home that prioritises your well-being, saves you money on energy bills, and provides a truly comfortable living environment, all without necessarily chasing that "Academy Award" of certification.
