Where you build is just as important as what you build. That’s where our Location Smarts really come in handy.

And when you decide on a location, we can use our connections with WA’s best land developers to help you negotiate the best blocks at the best price. As an added bonus, once you’ve secured that land, we’ll use our solar-orientation smarts to position your home in the most efficient way possible. Giving your property the best chance of being bathed in Perth’s beautiful sunny rays year-round.

Design means so much more than building something beautiful. It’s about making your home a better, more inviting space. The kind that’ll grow and support your family – plus heaps of socialising – over the years to come. So, we’ll use our Design Smarts to maximise the liveable space on your block and spec up your new digs with the hottest finishes and fixtures. Got a few of your own ideas? Our iDesign program lets you take control of the internal spaces of your home and bring those ideas to life. So, when it’s complete it’s not our home, it’s yours.
So, you end up with a home that’s so affordable, and so, so you.

We use our Eco Smarts to build 6-star energyefficient homes. Not if you ask, always. Because building new homes guaranteed to meet the NatHERS 6-star energy rating is sustainable. And sustainable is smart! So too is future proofing. That is why each NatHERS 6-star energy accredited home we build is efficiently designed, sustainably built, and the very best you can get for your future. You’ll even get a certificate to prove it. Frame it how you will!
18
We build with a conscience. Because your home isn’t just Perth, it’s Earth. Here’s 6 reasons an accredited NatHERS 6-star home is so smart!
01
Uses around 24%* less energy on heating and cooling compared to a 4 or 5 star home
04
6-star energy rating as standard
02
Reduces artificial cooling/heating
05
Less impact on the environment by reducing your carbon footprint
03
Higher level of energy efficiency
06
Better resale value in the future
*As projected by the Sustainable Energy Association of Australia in their publication ‘Your 6-star Guide to building an energyefficient home’ (2011), in comparison to a 4 or 5 star home. This publication is presently referred to by the Building Commission (WA) and Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (WA). Also, see http://www.vba.vic.gov.au.
