🏠, including sustainable solutions when renovating

🏠, including sustainable solutions when renovating - is it achievable?

Published: Sat, 05/20/23

Hi ,

Building or renovating a property has always involved a lot of decision-making. Aesthetics, functionality and return on investment have traditionally been key considerations for anyone planning to build or upgrade their home.

However, factoring sustainability into building design is a more recent trend - and it's important to know where to start.

A good way of thinking about sustainability in building design is that you want to minimise any impact on the environment. Negating any impact altogether is a lofty goal, but generally unachievable.

Most products have a net-negative impact on the environment; however, it's important to minimise the negative impacts of any materials you choose. When looking at the environmental impact of the material or product, consider all stages of the life cycle - the upstream state (materials extraction and manufacture), the in-use or operational stage and the downstream stage (disposal or reuse).

Not only is it good for the environment to build with sustainability in mind, it's also a great way to reduce the costs of energy consumption once the renovation or build is complete.

What our happy clients have to say...

We love hearing what our happy clients have to say about their experiences with Chamberlain Property Advocates. We helped Steve purchase his first home.

Here is what Steve had to say about his experience of working with a Buyers Advocate:

"As a first home buyer who had identified their ideal property, it was quite daunting thinking about how to do all of the background research let alone approaching the negotiation process. I am absolutely grinning from ear to ear that I engaged Wendy to assist with the negotiation process, as it took all of the stress out of the process. In addition to negotiating with the real estate agent, Wendy was very proactive in coordinating all of the other research and investigations that needed to go on behind the scenes (with regular progress updates to discuss any issues). Wendy really went above and beyond to investigate extra issues (such as investigating the possibility of flammable cladding on the building), including chasing up key reports from the council that were key to resolving the issue. I also loved that I not only had Wendy on my side, but her fantastic and well-qualified network that she could reach out to for assistance with any issues that cropped up in the process. I can wholeheartedly say I will be recommending Wendy to any friends or family looking to take the stress out of buying their first or next home."

Wendy's Tips

"When you're on the home hunt, it is really important for you to understand the types of homes that you're looking at and what is going to be suitable for you. You're going to have new homes, off plan homes, established homes. You're going to have homes that have just been renovated, homes that need a renovation. What is your appetite? Do you have the time? Do you have the skills? Do you have the knowledge? Do you have the patience to take on a renovation?"
