How important is it that a builder has accreditation?
When evaluating potential builders, one of the areas we recommend you look at is the level of accreditation and qualifications a builder possesses. This does provide an indication as to their values, their commitment to their profession and their customers.
At Blue Cove Homes we take accreditation very seriously and have obtained the following professional accreditations.
Building Ethics Accredited
Building Ethics Accreditation guarantees each job is independently quality inspected at 6 stages over and above the mandatory building inspections. Building Ethics only accredit builders who:
Demonstrate advanced technical skills
Are financially sound
Have a proven track record of building quality homes and of ethical dealings with clients.
With no payment made by the client until work is independently verified by a qualified, impartial third party from Building Ethics Australia as completed to prescribed standards.
GreenSmart Building Practices Accredited
As specialist coastal builders it is extremely important to us to preserve, maintain and protect our beautiful coastal environment. It is for this reason that we encourage all our properties are built to GreenSmart Accredited standards. GreenSmart accreditation is given from the HIA to selected builders who adhere to strict environmentally friendly building guidelines and have completed the prescribed training.
The GreenSmart approach to building design aims to increase energy efficiency, reduce water consumption, minimize waste and encourage better environmental management at each stage in the construction of today’s housing.
Not only is the GreenSmart approach a real win for the environment, but this approach to building design also provides some great cost savings for new home buyers. In particular it provides lower heating and cooling costs, reduced energy and water consumption, and also helps keep construction costs down through reduced waste and more efficient use of materials.
Blue Cove Homes is a GreenSmart accredited builder.
