Sustainable Building

At Blackett Homes, we’re passionate about building sustainable homes in Canberra that combine modern design with long-term efficiency.

As experienced eco-friendly home builders, we focus on creating spaces that are comfortable, functional, and environmentally conscious.

From thoughtful planning and energy-efficient materials to ongoing performance after construction, every step of our process is designed to minimise impact and maximise value for our clients.

  • Sustainable design starts well before construction begins. During the planning stage, we focus on selecting the right site and designing with the natural environment in mind. This means orienting the home to maximise sunlight and airflow, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling.

    We also consider factors like shading, insulation, and material selection early on, ensuring that sustainability is built into every decision from the very start.

  • Throughout the construction process, we make conscious choices that reduce waste and environmental impact. This includes sourcing materials that are durable, low-impact, and often locally produced.

    We work closely with our suppliers and trades to ensure responsible building practices—such as recycling materials where possible, managing water use efficiently, and maintaining strict quality control to extend the home’s lifespan.

    Every step is taken with longevity and energy efficiency in mind.

  • Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop once the home is complete. We build with energy efficiency at the forefront, integrating features like solar systems, water-saving fixtures, and high-quality insulation to keep energy use low.

    Homeowners benefit from a comfortable, efficient home that’s easier to maintain and more affordable to run.

    We also encourage ongoing sustainability, helping clients understand how to make the most of their home’s eco-friendly features for years to come.
