Our New Home Design Process

Our new home design process is rooted in sustainability, comfort, and innovation. From the start, we work closely with clients to understand their lifestyle goals and energy priorities. Our design team integrates Home Energy Efficiency considerations into every phase, including layout planning, orientation, and material selection.

By starting with an in-depth Energy Audit, we can assess specific needs and opportunities for energy savings tailored to your site and usage patterns. Our smart technologies, like Home Battery Backups and Solar System Design, ensure your home is equipped to generate and store renewable energy efficiently.

Hear From Our Customers
We had a very positive experience with Building Energy and I would recommend them to everyone! They were communicative and prompt and professional every step of the way, from the initial communications with the office manager, to the scheduling of the energy assessment and the energy upgrades project, to post-project follow-ups regarding the rebates. Whenever I had questions or concerns at any step, they were there to answer my questions. The staff are very knowledgeable and were a wealth of information about how to improve the energy efficiency of our home, both in the short term and long term. They completed the work within the planned time frame, and we’re very happy with the improvements that they’ve completed– the upgrades have made a big difference in the efficiency and comfort of our home, and we’re already seeing improvements with our energy bills!
