Are you thinking about making your renovation more Sustainable?

Renovations are required by law to have a minimum of sustainability designed into them these days and in many cases the original building will also require a sustainability upgrade.

Regulations vary from state to state but one thing is common throughout Australia, you can't start renovating without first demonstrating that the minimum state energy-efficiency requirements will be met.

Energy-efficient homes require clever design, sensible specification and meticulous construction, all of which will create a comfortable building that's also cost-effective to live in. It's not always easy, however, and requires careful consideration of several major elements:

Archicentre Accredited Architects design sustainable renovations.

Renovations can be particularly tricky when the original home is badly oriented or planned.

Archicentre Accredited Architects have been designing sustainable homes for years because they want their clients to have the best possible homes. They understand the importance of orientation, zoning and construction and can design your renovation to be as water-wise and as energy-efficient as possible. This is why councils are engaging Archicentre to oversight and make recommendations on plans drawn up by non experts.

Archicentre can arrange for your preliminary drawings to be checked to make sure your home will be comfortable to live in, inexpensive to run and cost-effective to build and maintain.......this where you need our expert advice.
