Sustainable Building

WE TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF BEING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUILDERS.

At JCD Building, we are strong believers in building homes safe for not only your family but for the environment as well. We strive to design and construct environmentally conscious sustainable houses as we want to ensure we can lower our negative impact on the environment and at the same time, make the homes we live in healthier for us all.

Design and Construct

We take the guesswork out of being environmentally friendly by handling the process of the design of your home from start to finish. We take care of the site testing and reporting, design, council approvals, demolition and construction, as well as everything else in between to ensure your home is not only environmentally friendly but also perfect for your family. 

We offer a wide range of sustainable features and practices in each of our home designs that can be tailored specifically to your individual needs. 

You can build your dream sustainable home that best fits your lifestyle, needs, ongoing maintenance and budgetary requirements. Our promise to you is that we keep you informed along the entire way so you can rest easy knowing that our expert team is looking after you and your new home.

Sustainable living is
our core value

Our focus is to build healthy, energy efficient and sustainable homes, at an affordable price. We work with clients who, like us, believe in creating a connection to the environment as well as with their family and friends who walk through their home. We ensure we use the right materials used for construction, design the home to ensure it is in the correct orientation as well as create the perfect layout of the homes we build. Our core value is to ensure our sustainable homes feel spacious, warm and bright without doing any harm to the environment.
