While on a volunteer trip in Thailand, I had the opportunity to work at an orphanage and help rebuild a disadvantaged community. This instilled in me the importance of making a difference. After some reflection, I realised that the best way for me to impact the world was with my hands, so I decided to go into carpentry.
After solidifying my career interest, I started working for a builder during my holidays from Year 10 through Year 12. I was offered an apprenticeship at the end of my time with the builder and successfully completed my cert IV in carpentry. By the time the apprenticeship was over, I was a fully registered builder and qualified carpenter. It was through this training that my interest in sustainable building practices was born.
I officially started Emerald Building Services on December 21, 2009. I began by contracting small projects in Canberra to get my feet wet and my name out in the industry. While it was slow growth at first, I knew that we just had to stay consistent and focus on delivering exceptional results.
After a year of small projects, I decided to move the business to the more bustling area of Melbourne with a higher need for our services. At the time, we didn’t know anyone in the city and spent the next few years building up our name and reputation with local quality trades.
This is the period we really hit our stride. We started to take on much bigger home building projects and felt that we were making a significant impact in the community. We were also able to complete multiple successful volunteer trips to re-build homes in disadvantaged parts of the Northern Territory, the Philippines, and Thailand.
Throughout the challenges of the pandemic, we had the opportunity to look at our business – where we came from, and where we wanted to go. Our passion for sustainability runs deep into our roots, and we finally made the decision to shift towards building high performance and passive homes.
These home builds take into consideration sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint throughout the entire lifespan of the build, and beyond. Plus, our clients are able to enjoy more cost-effective, energy-efficient homes that support their lifestyles. We received our Passive House Tradesman Certification, and now provide this service to all of our clients.
Today we continue to fulfil our mission of helping as many people as possible create ideal forever homes to enjoy with their loved ones. It’s been amazing to see how far we’ve come since we first started nearly 20 years ago. But we also can’t help but feel that we’re just getting started. We’re so excited to continue impacting families & communities by creating the optimum standard of construction builds with passive homes (or at minimum, high-performing homes).
This is the construction norm in Europe, the UK, and Canada. Unfortunately Australia is way behind the eight ball in this regard. It is our opinion (and many others) that this should be the minimum standard here in Australia also. Whilst 7- Star energy ratings are a good start, the shift in mindset really needs to happen at a grassroots level in our trade schools so the next generation is well equipped to build for the future.
At Emerald Building Services, we’re serious about ushering in this new standard of excellence in home builds, and can’t wait to help you reap all the benefits in your own home.
An energy-efficient, comfortable, and healthy home that takes care of you and the environment should be the standard – not the exception. While this is the case in many countries, Australia has been notoriously behind the 8-ball… until now. At Emerald Building Services, we’re raising the bar.
As specialists in Passive Home Builds, we can help you enjoy these benefits in your own dream home. Whether you opt for a fully Passive Home build, or the minimum-standard of a High Performance Home, you can rest easy knowing you have a healthy, clean, controlled, and affordable space to make memories with your loved ones. Plus, with the carbon payback of this type of build streaks ahead of standard measures, you can also know you’re doing your bit to help the planet.
If you’re here, then you might be ready to expand your home in a certain
way or you just want to make it the inviting space you know it can be.
Whatever the case – you’re in the right spot.
We’d be honoured to help you make your ideal home a reality so you get
the luxurious, spacious, and beautiful style you deserve.
