Ovens & King Builders

Our Story

At Ovens & King Builders, we've been passionate about sustainability and building high-performance homes for over thirty years. Our journey began with a focus on solar passive design principles, careful selection of building materials, and attention to insulation, thermal mass, and window performance. When we discovered the Passive House (Passivhaus) standard of construction, we knew it was a natural evolution of our values and principles.

Designing a Passive House

Designing a Passive House is a sophisticated process that requires the use of specialized software to measure and calculate the performance of the house in five key areas. These areas include thermal insulation, passive house windows, ventilation heat recovery, airtightness of the building, and the absence of thermal bridges. By carefully considering these factors, we can create homes that are not only comfortable and energy-efficient but also environmentally friendly.

The Benefits of Passive House

Passive House is a demanding standard for energy efficiency in a building. It demands attention to detail in all aspects of construction, from insulation to ventilation and window performance. By building to these standards, we can create homes that are not only environmentally friendly but also comfortable and healthy to live in. Our team of skilled professionals has extensive experience in building and renovating homes throughout North Eastern Victoria. We take pride in our attention to detail and commitment to quality.
