As such we are members of the Green Building Council who assist with setting standards for best practice, training and education in this direction.  There are more and more corporations who are now leading their industry to provide green building products and we are strongly committed to assisting resource these for your next home.  Read more on our suggestions for Building Green in Eco House and Sustainable Building section of this site.

NZGB together with Branz and Becon Pathway have recently developed a tool to which we will be able to provide a rating to your home based on the efficiencies of materials, insulation, energy, water, health and comfort.  This tool will provide us a low cost opportunity to assess the efficiency of your new home before we start enabling us to assess options before starting your project.  Oversea's research shows that homes with assessment ratings sell faster at higher prices than homes without a rating.

The landfill waste from the construction of a home is always a concern and we work hard to ensure we order efficiently to minimise wastage, we use our own trailer for on-site rubbish v skip convenience.  We are looking to ensure contractors support us through separating and recyling waste where possible.  We also ensure that as much on-site rubbish as possible that is re-usable is not disgarded unnecessarily but monitoring the clean up's and landfill disposals.

Building Green is a target we strive to achieve and with your support we believe we can build you a environmentally friendly and sustainable home.
