Lean design and construction - the Leanhaus way
Lean design and construction is, according to one definition, "a production management-based project delivery system emphasising the reliable and speedy delivery of value. It challenges the generally-accepted belief that there is always a trade-off between time, cost, quality and safety." At leanhaus, we seek to apply these ideas to the design and construction of homes and small buildings to make them more affordable, durable and comfortable. Here’s how we do it.
Monitoring air quality at home
We spend 90% of our time indoors, but indoor environments are typically 5x more polluted than outdoors. Dust, mould, expired air, CO2 and contaminants from cooking all create an indoor environment that contributes to allergies, asthma and sleep disturbance. Rather than wait until suffering from health symptoms, it makes sense to monitor the air quality of your indoor environment.

Passive House is a comfort standard that seeks to maintain optimum internal comfort levels with minimum energy use. So if the external temperatures are amenable, open your windows! Let that breeze through your house and enjoy the indoor / outdoor lifestyle that Perth is famous for.
