Ben Caine reflects on a recent trip checking out the homes of LA and Palm Springs

All too often we come across people who believe that they’re not able to build a passive house because they have a relatively small budget. But, while passive houses can be costly if one opts for all the bells and whistles, they certainly don’t have to be.

Selecting a site to build a new Passive House standard in suburban Perth requires careful consideration of a range of factors, including walkability, site orientation and cost of the lot. By selecting a site that is highly walkable, well-oriented towards the sun, and reasonably priced, it is possible to create a highly energy-efficient building that is both sustainable and affordable.

Lean construction is a method that focuses on maximizing value and minimizing waste in the construction process. This means reducing the time, effort, and resources required to complete a project, without compromising on quality or safety.
