Why choose eco home building?

Building an eco home is the way to go if you want to live a more environmentally friendly and sustainable lifestyle and enjoy the many benefits that come with it. As one of Australia’s leading eco home builders, we specialise in designing and constructing sustainable homes in Melbourne.

Reduce your environmental impact

Building sustainably means you’re doing your part to protect the planet. Our sustainable practices minimise your carbon footprint, which means you’re contributing less to environmental impact and climate change.

Energy efficiency

One of the biggest benefits of building an eco home is that they’re designed to be energy-efficient. This means you’ll enjoy lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment without hot and cold spots. Our energy-efficient home designs and sustainable construction techniques ensure you’ll have a high-performance home.

Healthy living

We believe that every home should be a healthy home and a safe place to live, which is why we use eco-friendly materials that improve indoor air quality. Say goodbye to off-gassing from toxic materials and hello to a home that’s better for your family’s well-being.

Future-proof investment

As more people become aware of the importance of sustainable living, eco homes and green buildings are becoming increasingly desirable. By building an eco sustainable home now, you’re not only doing your part for a greener future, but you’re also making a smart investment that can hold or even increase its value over time.

Our approach to eco-friendly home building

RoomFour is a leading sustainable home builder in Melbourne, and we’re passionate about building sustainable homes that are not only appealing but also kind to the environment. Our eco-friendly approach to home construction is all about making sustainable choices that will benefit you and the planet.

  • Sustainable materials
    One of the key ways RoomFour minimises our environmental impact is by prioritising the use of recycled, renewable, and low-impact materials in our sustainable design. This means we'll avoid using materials that are harmful to the environment or that require a lot of energy and resources to produce.
  • Energy-saving design
    RoomFour understands that a home's design can play a huge role in its energy consumption. That's why we carefully optimise the use of natural light and ventilation in our custom home designs. By taking advantage of these natural resources, we can reduce the amount of energy needed for heating, cooling, and lighting, which translates to lower energy bills for you.
  • Water conservation
    Water is a precious resource, and at RoomFour, we believe it's our responsibility to conserve it. In our eco homes, you'll find water-saving fixtures like low-flow showerheads and toilets, as well as rainwater tanks that collect and store rainwater for use in your home and garden.
  • Renewable energy integration
    To further reduce your home's environmental impact, we offer the option to integrate renewable energy sources like solar panels and battery storage systems. These technologies not only provide clean energy for your energy-efficient home but can also help you save money on your utility bills in the long run.

Building your dream eco home

We understand that building a sustainable home is more than just a trend; it's a commitment to a greener future and reducing your environmental impact. That's why we're here to guide you through every step of the process.

Step 1. Free consultation

Your journey begins with a Discovery Call, where we’ll discuss your vision, requirements, and budget for your home extension project.  This allows us to understand your needs and provide expert guidance on extension ideas to enhance your living space and create your perfect home.

We then engage in a Feasibility and Sketch Design Study. This is the foundation stage and the most important part of your design process.  It will help you understand your goals, what you want to achieve, what your cost will be and a full analysis of your project, along with preliminary sketches.  Click here to find out more on ‘Build Cost Estimate’.

Step 2. Collaborative design

The information gained from the Feasibility and Sketch Design Study now paves a clear and direct path for our team of skilled architects to then start creating a custom-designed extension plan that perfectly aligns with your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences and goals. 

During this process, we provide comprehensive cost estimates, ensuring transparency about investments needed to bring your luxurious custom home to life, whether a single storey, double storey, narrow or sloping block, knockdown rebuild, or more.

Step 3. Sustainable material selection

Choosing the right materials is crucial for building a sustainable home. We’ll guide you through various options, from recycled materials to locally sourced, renewable resources, ensuring that your home is beautiful and environmentally friendly.

Step 4. Energy-efficient construction

Our builders in Melbourne are experts in constructing high-performance, energy-efficient homes. They’ll implement cutting-edge techniques and technologies to ensure your home is well-insulated, properly ventilated, and equipped with energy-efficient systems, significantly reducing your energy bill and utility costs.

Step 5. Transparent communication

Throughout the building process, we’ll keep you informed and involved. Our team believes in open communication, addressing any concerns or questions you may have along the way, from start to finish.

Step 6. Handover and beyond

Once your sustainable home is complete, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive guide on maintaining and optimising its sustainability features. Our commitment doesn’t end with the handover; we’re here to support you in living a greener, more environmentally conscious and sustainable lifestyle.

HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS

In order to find a company to do the renovations on my 110 year old Edwardian Workers Cottage in inner western Melbourne, I did a lot of research.I found Room4, and they seemed competent. But they were much better than competent. Peter and Michael explained all steps and aspects of the renovation process, including the likely problems we could find. They went out of their way to assist me, and they kept me informed in detail. They aimed for excellent quality while keeping to my budget. Their suggestions were always clever and helpful.I am so happy with the results, and my house is much more functional and modern, but still works in terms of keeping its cultural identity. I would recommend Room4.
Peter & RoomFour team has been incredible to work with. We've worked in collaboration in the past and delivered amazing projects together. Quick responses & attention to detail has helped clients have good reassurance and trust with Peter. I would always recommend them as a builder. As an interior designer, it's always hard to find good builders to execute your design for you, but Roomfour has exceeded my expectations of quality & good craftmanship!
RoomFour renovated my entire existing home and constructed the extension to full specifications from my designer while guiding the transition from old to new. The quality is exceptional, I couldn’t be happier.
Peter and Michael from RoomFour were great to work with. They communicated well, were clear about what work would be done and were accommodating with allowing us to pay over the period of the build. Nice blokes too.
Peter really helped us with a great service for our new home, even though we had a few hiccups from our end, we got the job done to a high standard.
Couldn't be happier with my home extension. Professional job by the guys at Room Four.
Peter and the team have been so great throughout our entire renovation process. Incredibly friendly and proffesional, attention to detail was amazing and nothing was a problem. Thanks heaps guys! Highly recommend.
Peter went out of his way to help with the designs for our joinery and choose a finish that looked amazing all within our budget. The tradesmen on site were so helpful and friendly and took pride in their work. Could not be happier with the results.
The service provided by RoomFour was incredible from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a home, kitchen or bathroom revamp in the Melbourne area.
