Many of our clients are from overseas and have experienced better, warmer homes so demand better. Some are involved in the medical sector and are acutely aware of the health impact of our homes and growing concerns of New Zealand’s subpar building standards. We design the performance of each home with laser focus, using Energy Modelling to help ensure optimal energy efficiency with a low carbon footprint.
