You have probably seen Grand Designs UK and the homes they show being built with huge panels being craned on to site and a whole house being built to lock up in a matter of days? Well, now you can have that here in Australia, too! Panelised(or factory built) building methodologies have evolved in Europe and North America over the last 30 years in response to the demand for more energy efficient homes, built to exacting standards in quicker timeframes, with less risk. In some countries like Austria up to 35-40% of ALL buildings are built using panelised systems. With local building supply chain and skill shortages, panelised building makes more sense than ever.

Net Zero Plus has more than 50 years combined experience in Europe and is now assisting homeowners, builders, developers and designers to realise better building standards in a timely, cost efficient manner.  Daniel will walk you through this global building (r)evolution and discuss how it works in Australia.

Presented by Reimagined Habitat

Our relationship with our homes has changed since Covid tumbled many of us in to the now accepted work from home arrangement. We spend 90% of our life indoors and now, more than ever before, we expect our homes to multitask. To function as shelter, office space, school, yoga studio, kitchen and myriad other functions. We all want our homes to be comfortable, healthy and calm and  now there is increasing scientific evidence that our homes affect both our physical and mental health much more than was previously believed. 

These hybrid expectations of, and extra time in, our homes lead Canberra based Passive House Designer and Sustainable Design Specialist Michael Drage to explore the questions "Are our homes healthy, comfortable and calm? What can we do to make them more so? How can biophilic and other design principles help your respiratory and mental health? And can I do this whilst also being more energy efficient?” Along the way he will give some simple ‘tips and tricks’ to apply to your own residence.

Presented by Renovation Matters

Today’s market is more challenging for a seller than the past couple of years where we had buyers purchasing property in a frenzy due to FOMO.

With the interest rate hikes over the latter part of 2022 and early 2023, we have seen a definite shift in the market turning from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market and affecting sale prices.

This shift requires a new strategic plan, one which is different form the plan utilised in the “HOT” market. Sellers need to be very strategic and careful not to overcapitalise, and ensure the money spent on a renovation will provide a good return in the way of increased sales price, or simply being able to move the property on and get it sold.
