Passive House, also known as Passivhaus, is a quality-assured building standard focused on five pillars: high insulation, extreme airtightness to 0.6 ACH50 or better, high-performance windows and doors, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and thermal-bridge-free construction. It also sets comfort limits for summer so homes remain pleasant during hot spells. In Melbourne’s climate, those pillars deliver a snug, quiet home in winter and a cooler, steadier home in summer, with tiny heating and cooling systems doing the work

Prefabrication—often referred to as prefab—is changing the way we build. At its core, it’s a construction method where building components are produced in a factory, off-site, under controlled conditions, and then delivered to the final location for quick assembly. Unlike traditional construction, which is time-consuming and often weather-dependent, prefabrication offers greater precision, faster timelines, and far less waste.
