Welcome! Since 2006, Paul Klavins has been helping home owners create a sense of belonging for the heart, while maintaining a modern and open approach for construction methods. Whether it be a small living room renovation or a Japanese inspired home on mega-anchors with a separate floating artists studio, Paul Klavins has provided professionalism, experience and a unique focus for sustainable building methods over the past 10 years. Though born and bred in Queensland, Paul has recently relocated to the Sunshine Coast after a stint in Tasmania. Paul has identified the need for the unique service he offers from the wealth of expertise gained working in one of the greenest and innovative states in Australia. Working on scores of projects around the country, Paul Klavins has a solid foundation with jobs ranging from simple extensions to working on award winning hotels with one of Tasmania's largest construction companies. The move to Noosa particularly matched his lifestyle and belief in how a home should be created. Watching the Sunshine Coast become a premium lifestyle destination was a calling card to bringing his skills to an already exceptional group of talented builders and construction companies. Though Paul has specialized in difficult jobs or contracts requiring unique materials, he always welcomes projects of any size, however simple or complicated. Sustainable Building Green building or sustainable construction has been quite the buzz over the past few years. Smart homes, Eco Materials and a range of other terms all refer to being environmentally responsible in creating a construction process that allows for a low impact development and small carbon footprint. Empowering sustainability includes the building's entire life-cycle from design to construction and maintenance. The choices don't just relate to materials, but how they are used and implemented. As a specialist in sustainable building through the HIA GreenSmart Program and as a partner with James Hardie and the Smarter Small Home Group, Paul Klavins is able to provide expert advice in revolutionary new home construction techniques.
