Who we are
We started Built Sustainability to make sustainable design simple, practical, and accessible — for everyone involved in the built environment.
After years working in environmental consulting and construction projects across Australia, we saw how many designers, builders, and homeowners struggled to meet energy efficiency and sustainability requirements while also managing tight timelines and evolving regulations. We founded Built Sustainability to bridge that gap with fast, expert advice that doesn’t compromise on quality.
We’re a Perth-based family that understands both the varying regulatory landscapes across Australia and the broader goals of sustainable design. Whether it’s a residential dwelling, a commercial fit-out, or a larger-scale development, we help ensure your project meets compliance — and performs better.
