Anyone considering building a new home in Adelaide right now will already be familiar with one of the most significant challenges to be faced – finding a suitable block. The current shortage of land for building has had plenty of press over the past couple of years and the situation isn’t getting any easier for families or builders.

In the Australian housing market, families planning new homes are constantly looking for areas where cost-efficiency can be maximised. That’s only natural – as one of the biggest investments most of us will make in our life, it’s certainly worth asking questions and making informed choices that represent significant savings. But of course, like many purchasing decisions, it’s possible to reach a limit where quality and performance start to be compromised and we have to consider whether the savings are worth the sacrifices involved. In today’s blog we’ll look at the comparison between traditional brick homes and lightweight homes, to uncover some fundamental differences between the two.

Energy efficiency is an enormous conversation today, and there’s good reason. It impacts our family finances and our planet every time we make a purchase, drive our car, or even have a shower. So it makes sense that we carefully consider our energy use where we spend most of our time – at home. If you’re planning a new home, considerations of energy efficiency are right up there with the floor plan and materials. In fact, they’re part of just about every decision you’ll need to make as you plan. While the energy efficiency of an existing home can be enhanced to some degree, the choices that have the biggest impact are those that are built-in as a new home is constructed. The earlier you get your builder on board – and the more open they are to the idea of creating an energy-efficient new home for you – the more energy you stand to save. And that will have a significant impact on your living costs as the years go by. Let’s look at the factors that affect energy efficiency in a new home design.
