| 119 Ecotectural Home Builders Using premium materials like their high-performance wall panels, thermally broken windows, and fully insulated concrete slabs also extends the lifespan of their homes. BUILDING Although building to passive house standards involves higher upfront costs, Daryl emphasises that it pays off in the long run. “Over time, lower energy bills significantly reduce the cost of running the home,” he explains. “While initial construction costs may be higher, the home often recoups those expenses in eight to 15 years.” Using premium materials like their high-performance wall panels, thermally broken windows, and fully insulated concrete slabs also extends the lifespan of their homes well beyond the government-mandated 50year benchmark. “Our homes can effectively last two or three times longer than your typical home,” Daryl says. Being a part of the IPHA aligns seamlessly with the company’s values and goals. “It’s all about building better. It reassures clients that we have the expertise to deliver homes that meet passive house standards. This is especially important for new residents in the Nelson-Tasman region seeking homes that are warmer in winter, cooler during summer, and highly energy efficient.” Ecotectural Home Builders employs a team of 12 and serves clients across Nelson-Tasman and beyond. The team is willing to travel for exciting, challenging projects that align with their expertise. “We’re passionate about these types of builds, and if the project excites us, we’ll go wherever we’re needed,” Michael says. Daryl and Michael also prioritise creating a positive workplace culture. As Michael says, “We want work to feel enjoyable, not like a chore. This approach has helped us attract and retain top talent, which ultimately allows us to build better.” Their strong community relationships play a vital role in the firm’s success. Collaborating with designers, consultants, utility providers, and authorities, Ecotectural Home Builders ensures every project is delivered to the highest standard. “Our job is to take the vision of our clients and design teams and bring it to life,” Michael says. “It’s about communication, collaboration and teamwork – bringing all the key components together seamlessly to ensure we deliver to the highest standard.” One of their builds has even been featured in the popular television series Grand Designs New Zealand. Ecotectural Home Builders continues to set the standard for sustainable, high-performance homes, combining innovation, expertise, and passion to create spaces families will cherish for generations. 0800 DOMINATOR • WWW.DOMINATOR.CO.NZ ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED GARAGE DOOR SYSTEMS DOMINATOR NELSON 15 Rotheram St, Annesbrook, Nelson Tel: 03 547 8131 Email: admin@dominatornelson.co.nz Proud to supply and support Ecotectural Home Builders clintparispainters@gmail.com Proudly building healthier homes for New Zealand living Phone 03 344 3126 www.nkwindows.co.nz Made for Living
