Most people starting their build or renovation project go first to the builder as their main source of information and advice.
But there are also many trades, suppliers and technical experts who contribute their knowledge, guidance, and innovative techniques and products, for a successful Superhome.
And there are a wide range of professional and industry organisations that support and advance the work of builders, designers and tradies to improve NZ’s housing.
Peter Davis: AD Architecture
“We have a lot of builders & tradespeople who understand and are building above standard... You don't have to be a Passive House certified builder... you can do it by using simple pragmatic solutions... without any specialist training”
Dan Saunders: Dan Saunders Construction
“As builders and contractors, we have to know a little bit about everything – ventilation, underfloor heating, windows... and to see how they all work together.”
Guy Gillespie: Character Builders
“We have a great bunch of qualified builders and tradespeople here in New Zealand, however if they don't understand the principles of Superhome – high performance and energy efficiency – they may not understand the need to put attention into some important details.”
