Sustainablility

Permastructure leads the way as one of Australia’s top sustainable builders.

We design and build homes that are both innovative and environmentally responsible. We focus on ethical green building construction methods, efficient use of resources, and environmentally minded solutions. Whether you’re looking to build a new green building home or upgrade an existing space, we ensure your project aligns with the highest standards of green building sustainability.

Our team of sustainable builders work closely with our in-house architect to design and construct homes and buildings that fuse the latest innovations and sustainable materials.
We are the top passive house builders in Australia and are specialists in building with hempcrete construction materials.

Many builders claim to be ‘sustainable’ as a way to promote their company but not many actually have real experience in sustainable design or building. Permastructure have over 15 years of experience in sustainable building methods for homes, commercial and renovations. We conduct ourselves with honesty and accountability at every level of the building process using ethical building techniques.

Why Choose a Sustainable Home Builder?

The construction industry contributes significantly to global carbon emissions, and uses huge amounts of energy and resources (40%). Governments are now demanding stricter compliance standards in home building and renovations to ensure greater sustainability and to address environmental issues. Selecting a sustainable home builder is an important and intelligent decision to ensure your home's long-term durability, energy efficiency and health.

We prioritise:

  • Energy Efficiency: Our goal is to construct homes that use less energy and which comes with lower energy costs. Airtight construction, sophisticated insulation methods, and renewable energy sources are used to accomplish this.

  • Water Conservation: Water-saving fixtures and rainwater harvesting systems are integrated into the design to reduce water consumption.

  • Building Health: We ensure homes have good ventilation to reduce the build up of moisture which can cause mould in humid areas (this is now a key requirement of NSW Building Codes). 

  • Passive Design: Passive design ensures superior energy efficiency through a combination of high-quality insulation, airtight construction, and advanced ventilation systems. This results in up to 90% less energy consumption for heating and cooling compared to conventional buildings. This means client have the ultimate comfort without compromise - with consistent temperatures, optimal indoor air quality, and minimal drafts . Passive design ensures resilience and adaptability to diverse climatic conditions (ie. climate resilience).

    Cost-Effective Long-Term Investment: While initial construction costs of Sustainable or Passive-design buildings may be slightly higher, the long-term savings in energy bills and maintenance make them a cost-effective investment. These properties significantly increase their value over time.
