We collaborate with leading Passive House architects to bring your vision of a sustainable, energy-efficient home to life.
By combining our construction expertise with the innovative designs of our architectural partners, we deliver homes that are not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible. There are many mistakes you can make at the design stage of building, renovating or extending your home, which can include the following:
Not considering exactly how you’ll use the space
Underestimating the cost of construction
Overlooking potential zoning restrictions
Failing to account for hidden costs
Not considering resale
Failing to account for lifestyle changes and needs over time
One of the biggest mistakes in building a sustainable, high-performance home is not having the builder and the architect collaborate within a clear budget framework. Without this, you may end up with a stunning design that never gets built due to cost.
Unlike many builders who are disjointed from the design experience, we consult with designers to resolve issues early and ask tough the questions that prevent costly surprises. We ensure your vision becomes a reality – seamlessly and sustainably.
Common questions we hear from homeowners:
- Will my design ideas look right on my existing home? Get honest feedback from a builder who has your best interests in mind.
- Is my floorplan making the most of the sun, location, and block features? Passive design principles can enhance energy-efficiency, comfort, and liveability.
- Another builder told me I can’t have what I want – is that true? We’ll offer you a second opinion and explore smarter solutions.
- Is my home worth renovating, or would a new build be more cost-effective? We do both and can provide practical balanced advice.
- Will my design cost too much to build? We can help refine the design to fit your budget without sacrificing performance.
- How do I know if my builder and architect can bring my vision to life? We collaborate with leading Passive House architects to ensure your home is not only beautifully designed but also thermally efficient, airtight, and built to last.

With so many options to consider, designing a sustainable home in Geelong, the Surf Coast, Bellarine, or regional Victoria can feel overwhelming. At Conscious Construction Co. we go beyond standard building practices – ensuring that careful planning from the design stage leads to a high-performance, energy-efficient home that meets your needs.
Here’s how we set your project up for success:
1. You’ll Get a Home Design Based On Your Unique Lifestyle.
This is your vision, and you shouldn’t have to compromise, so it’s important for your design to deliver on precisely what you and your family need. From the smallest detail like a his and hers sink in the master ensuite, extra shoe storage to house a grand collection, higher ceilings or extra bench space, you’ll thank us down the track when you’re enjoying all these little things in your brand new home.
2. Passive Home Experts Building to European Standards.
From eliminating cold feet (while the rest of your body is warm) to saying goodbye to mid afternoon slumps (from lack of oxygen), you’ll instantly ‘feel’ the difference of purer air quality and year-round warmth when you step into one of our passive homes. And it all starts by incorporating the best living principles into your new home design.
3. The Guidance You Didn’t Realise You Needed.
We’ll guide you through the entire process, sharing our expertise and experience at every step and pointing out the options, ideas, material recommendations or potential headaches you hadn’t even considered, to ensure you get the best home design possible.
4. Receive Our Sole Focus.
Too many larger builders or designers are working on multiple projects at once. We focus on 1-2 homes at a time to give you our complete focus, and will sit 1-on-1 with you to determine the most important elements of your design and ultimate vision. We then work together with our designer to bring it to life.
5. A Methodical & Thorough Approach.
Our approach is methodical with a highly detailed focus on getting the job done right. Before we even begin, we’ll ask questions to gain a deep understanding of the way your family lives, and ensure every element of your design is perfectly moulded to you.
6. We Ask the Questions No Other Builder Asks.
We’ll work hand-in-hand with the designer, asking the questions no other builder does, to ensure your design gives you precisely what you want and without compromising your vision.
7. Transparent Pricing, Processes and Project Management.
We’ll price your project with specific, itemised precision so you know everything has been accounted for upfront. Openness and transparency are the foundation of trust, and it all begins with the design.
8. A One-Of-A-Kind Design Unique To You.
Instead of pre-designed plans and templates, we work with you so you’re crystal clear from the beginning on the vision for your new home, so we can build it from the ground up. No compromises. No restrictions. No settling.
