Bravo High Performance House - Fairfield
“We worked with Altereco on the knock down rebuild of our high performance home in the Inner North of Melbourne. From our first meeting, we knew that Altereco were well aligned with our vision, values and vibe!
James and Claire led a great team, with excellent communication throughout the design and build process which was underpinned by Basecamp, a great communication platform. Every step of the process was clearly mapped out and transparent in costs. We always felt listened to and were given honest information and opinions, so we could make informed decisions.
We were so impressed by the collaboration between Altereco, other trades and our builder - it really was a dream team and we can honestly say that our build went very smoothly. A major contributor to this fact was the impeccable design and documentation work done by Altereco. We are so so happy in our beautiful home”
