Every detail of your home, precisely assessed.

We specialise in Class 1a residential dwellings across Queensland — from new builds to renovations. Our assessments cover every element that impacts your home's energy performance.

NatHERS Energy Ratings (7 Star)

NatHERS Energy Ratings (7 Star)

Comprehensive thermal performance assessments using NatHERS-accredited software. We model heating, cooling, and energy loads to ensure your Class 1a dwelling meets or exceeds National Construction Code requirements.

Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) Reports

Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) Reports

Renovating an existing home? Our DTS reports provide a compliant alternative pathway to energy efficiency compliance under the NCC — without the need for full thermal modelling. We assess your renovation against the Deemed to Satisfy provisions, covering insulation, glazing, and building fabric requirements.

Whole of Home Assessment

Whole of Home Assessment

An evaluation of your entire dwelling's energy performance — not just the thermal shell. We assess heating and cooling systems, hot water, lighting, and onsite solar & battery storage. The Whole of Home also includes pools and spas where applicable.

Insulation & Glazing Specification

Insulation & Glazing Specification

Detailed recommendations for insulation R-values, glazing values, and building envelope performance. Every specification is calibrated for Queensland's climate zones and NCC compliance.
