Local Energy efficient builders making homes more affordable for Harden and the South West Slopes. Energy efficient building company Green Homes Australia South West Slopes (SW Slopes) focuses on helping local homebuyers build homes that use less energy and save their owners money before, during and after construction. Green Homes Australia SW Slopes is owned by local couple Luke and Kristy Stevenson who launched the branch in September 2015 after identifying the need for more affordable efficient housing in the region.

“If new homes are designed and constructed properly, this will assist in reducing the need for heating and cooling systems to be used. Increasing the energy efficiency of a home is not only important to reduce costs, but also to provide additional comfort, a home that is built to last and an attractive saleable asset when it comes time to sell,” Luke said.

The secret to building quality energy efficient homes is working with the customer to ensure the home will suit the climate, block, lifestyle and budget during the design and construction process. Their green homes also eradicate the perception that energy efficient homes need to be built out of expensive and alternative materials.

Luke says, “It really is about taking standard materials and constructing them according to green principles to guarantee maximum efficiency”. Luke and Kristy would be happy to meet anyone looking to build onsite or in their new showroom at 324 Albury Street Harden (opening soon). They cover a large area spanning from the ACT border including Murrumbateman and Yass to Tumbarumba, Temora, Young and everywhere in between.

Kristy said, “The response from areas like Yass and Murrumbateman has been very positive and we have had many enquiries and several contracts signed due to the demand for energy efficient housing.” Luke has been a builder for nearly 20 years in Harden, Canberra, Sydney, Young and the UK during that time and is very excited to bring Green Homes Australia and energy efficient homes to the local region.

Luke stated “We aim to utilise local contractors and suppliers in the towns that we cover to support local employment in the area”.
