Forrest Passive House Spotswood

“We were nervous undertaking a building project for the first time, not knowing how to start and what the process would look like. From our first meeting with James and Claire, we knew we were in great hands. They gave a clear roadmap of the design process and expected fees at each stage, as well as answering any and all newbie questions we had. During the build process they were a dream to work with, although there were almost no issues to deal with because the design stage had been so thorough! We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in future.”
