Good, better, best
Recent local research supports international findings that building green doesn’t necessarily cost more. Industry perceptions, however, still overestimate the real cost difference.
A new building system is looking to go well beyond the Building Code. It promises quick and accurate off-site construction together with warm, healthy, energy-efficient living and lower running costs for homeowners.
Our homes should perform better than they do. It’s up to the industry to educate people about why homes shouldn’t just meet Building Code minimums but instead be designed and sited for optimum performance.
While the Building Code delivers a workable building, aiming for optimum performance might cost a little more upfront, but it will pay off over the life of the building.
