Hamish White is Director of Sanctum Homes in Victoria Australia. He’s a registered Domestic Builder with a marketing degree. Since discovering Passive House, Hamish has been inspired to become a business the focuses on providing clients with beautiful, high performing energy efficient homes. Architects, designers and other builders should be encouraged that there’s a market out there and willing clients who a Passive House. I discuss with Hamish, how he got into the building industry and any advice he has for others interested in building better.
High Quality is Always in Style
As I recorded my interview with Hamish, much of the world has been shut down to some extent in a global pandemic. The building industry in Australia however has remained strong. Indeed, I’ve heard many guests say that clients are even more aware of the performance shortfalls of their homes now, after having spent a lot more time working, living and schooling from home. There is a demand for healthy homes.
There’s always a market for high quality and when it comes to health, comfort and efficiency, it’s hard to look past Passive House as the gold standard for high quality. More and more Australians are embracing Passive House, making it viable for companies like Sanctum Homes to be focussed on this market.
Be a Passive House Business
The only way to get better clients is to get better clients. This means being selective about who you market to and who you chose to work with. Hamish’s journey should provide confidence to architects, designers, consultants and builders that you can become a Passive House designer or a Passive House builder if you choose to do so.
