Happy Healthy Homes - What Does that Mean?

July 19, 2021

We all have different values which shape what we prioritise when it comes to the health of our families and the environment. Are you looking to pursue certification for an off grid passive home made with 100% recycled materials? Or are you adding an extension and happy to be guided by the building code? What does a happy, healthy home look like for you?


In this episode, we chat about some of the things to consider when building and renovating to get the outcome that’s important to you. We talk about energy efficiency, water efficiency and the three R’s, reduce, recycle and reuse.


When it comes to toxins, there are a few key conditions you want to know about, including lead paint, asbestos, rising damp and mould so we go into a bit of detail about these and how to factor these considerations into your project.


If you’re extending and renovating, building new or still thinking about it, we hope this is a great guide to help you get the home you want and make it a healthy, happy one too.
