SBC & Sustainable design Rising living costs and soaring electricity prices have spawned an astute type of homeowner who is beating the squeeze through smarter design. Using a sustainable approach for your new home or renovation saves you thousands of dollars in ongoing costs. According to CSIRO figures, green buildings use (on average) a whopping 26 percent less energy than conventional ones – meaning much smaller bills. Surprisingly, building green doesn’t necessarily cost you more, either. A quality builder can help deliver you a future of lower costs, for roughly the same initial spend. Local company Sam Bell Construction are experts in a greener approach.
