The following issues have always featured in our building sites, commanding vigilance from all employees and suppliers. If required we are happy to employ a sustainable consultant to professionally consider your design and material choices.

Quality Management

1. Material Use:  Throughout the design and building stages Our Company addresses waste minimization and considers construction systems to reduce environmental impact.
2. Site Management: Our Company keeps up-to-date with local council regulations regarding storm water and waste management control during the construction process.

OH&S

1. OH&S Policies: each project for completion also carries a job specific OH&S policy. People are our most important asset and health and safety in the workplace is a priority for our Company.
2. Assessments of OH&S policies: their implementation, effectiveness and ability to control site safety.
3. Site Inductions: The objective of site induction training is to provide information and knowledge of the OHS procedures, risks and hazards specific to a particular site.

Environmental Management
Our Environmental Management Commitment is based on our belief that the planning, procedures and implementation of best building practice directly influences our impact on the environment.

1. Passive Design: passively designed homes can significantly reduce your need to mechanically heat and cool your home. We can make recommendations regarding: site orientation; passive solar heating; passive cooling; insulation and thermal mass.
2. Water Use: the drought and water restrictions have raised consumer awareness giving  us all  a greater understanding of the need to reduce our consumption of water. We are able to introduce clients to practical ways of reducing, reusing and recycling water.
3. Energy Use: We are able to access energy efficiency documentations, which can enable clients to make informed choices about items such as hot water services.
