A behind-the-scenes look at the update on the Passive House project in Mornington, with the upper wall frame now up and Tim walking us through exactly where the build is at.

This is the first stage where the vision really starts to come to life. You can finally walk through the rooms and get a feel for the home, the flow, the scale, the way each space connects to the next, instead of picturing it from a plan.

It's one of the most exciting milestones of any build.

Same house shape. Completely different performance.

A standard build loses heat everywhere it can. Through the roof, around the walls, out the slab edge, in through every gap around the windows. It's not bad building; it's just how most homes are put together, and it's why some rooms never quite feel warm no matter how hard the heater works.

A Passive House is built to stop that. Continuous insulation wraps the entire home with no gaps and no weak points. Every joint is sealed airtight, so there's nowhere for warmth to sneak out or draughts to sneak in. Add heat recovery ventilation, and you get constant fresh air without ever losing the heat you've already paid for.

Most of what makes a Passive House perform never makes it into a finished photo. It happens right here, at every junction, every join, every membrane wrap, long before the walls are lined.

Swipe through, and you'll see the detail that goes into it. ➑️

🏑 Retrofit Passive House Update: Demolition begins.

Demolition is well underway on our Frankston South EnerPHit retrofit, and everything is being stripped right back. Old roof tiles, tired brickwork, and the original roof structure are all coming down, piled up on site as the home gets peeled back to its bones.

It's a confronting stage to see photographed, and it's exactly what an EnerPHit retrofit involves.

You don't tack Passive House performance onto an existing home; you strip it back far enough to rebuild the envelope properly, insulation, airtightness, and all, before a single new brick or panel goes back on.

A bird's-eye view of our Passive House build.

Some incredible drone shots of the frame and upper wall frame taking shape at our Mornington Passive House project. From up here, you can really see the scale and precision that goes into a build like this - every wall square, every junction tight, every detail exactly where it needs to be.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next stage.

Your future. Built better.

Tim explains the slab prep and why we put a 50ml step down from the front entry of the home into the garage, so we can install a XPS insulation, as this is inside the envelope of the building, this has to be done to achieve that Passive House certification.

XPS insulation boards provide excellent thermal performance, high compressive strength and outstanding moisture resistance.

We wanted to give a shout-out to Recycle All , whose mission is to transform how the construction industry manages waste, reducing landfill, lowering carbon emissions, and keeping valuable resources in circulation.

We have been using their Timber bins on our Passive House build; once the timber is recycled, it is mulched for landscaping. We are happy to support a business making sustainable efforts in the construction industry.
