Built with smart, sustainable materials
Glass
Bright, open and connected. We use generously sized windows and sliding doors to invite in natural light, improve ventilation, and create seamless flow between your new space, your backyard, and your existing home. Glass is also one of the most sustainable materials available, being 100% recyclable. Understanding how and where to use glazing has a significant impact on a home’s energy efficiency—and it’s something we know well. Thoughtfully placed double glazing enhances comfort even further, improving thermal performance and helping reduce outside noise.
Hebel®
Quiet, strong and energy-efficient, Hebel offers superior thermal performance compared to brick veneer, which is ideal for the Australian climate. Its panels reduce noise, resist fire and white ants, and use a fraction of the resources of traditional masonry. That means faster build times, long-term acoustic comfort, and a lighter footprint on a clean, modern finish.
James Hardie™ Cladding
Durable, low-maintenance and architecturally versatile, Architectural Reinforced Cement Cladding adds long-term value and style to your exterior.
Recognised by architects and engineers for its strength and versatility, James Hardie™ cement cladding brings a timeless finish to your home. It’s low maintenance, durable, and resistant to damage from moisture and termites.
Steel Roofing & Cladding
Sleek, strong and built for Australian conditions. Pre-coated steel offers thermal efficiency and design flexibility, making it perfect for both roofing and cladding. It reflects heat during the day and cools quickly at night helping to maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home year-round. With a range of colours and unique finishes, steel adds visual interest and lasting durability to your exterior, while reducing your reliance on heating and cooling.
Timber Framing
Reliable, efficient and responsibly sourced. We use 100% plantation timber for framing our homes—a material chosen not only for its strength, flexibility and ease of construction, but also for its low embodied energy and minimal carbon footprint. Timber has a high strength-to-weight ratio and won’t transfer noise or vibration like steel, making it a smart, sustainable choice for comfortable, long-lasting living.
Why it matters for South Australian homes
Our material choices are not just aesthetic, they’re strategic. Each has been selected for their durability, thermal efficiency and lower environmental impact. This means better performance, lower energy costs, and a stronger build.
