Base, Better, Best – Flexible Options
The flexibility of the Superhome Movement BASE / BETTER / BEST framework gives designers, builders and homeowners choices and options to suit the needs, the site, and the budget of each individual home.
Often very significant improvements can be made without excessive additional costs.




“Superhome's BASE, BETTER, BEST certifications gives options, depending on what you're after and your budget – we want to take the complexity out of it – and to LISTEN to what people want. We’re not here to dictate, we’re here to be supportive – understand what people are after and provide options for them.”
Darren Ballantine: Metro Glass

“The Superhome Movement is not just about luxurious builds... The Superhome Movement is not just for new builds... The Superhome Movement is not just for Canterbury... The Superhome Movement is not just for people who want to be energy efficient – it’s also for people who want to have cost effective solution.”

“We have been great supporters of Superhome since it began. We see ourselves as trying to provide affordable Superhomes, because while Superhomes are mostly fantastic, we do as much as we can to make them as affordable as possible without losing the Superhome features.”
Simon Fenwick: nest Resiential

“In the last few years Superhome have developed something we don’t really see much, provide a scale of efficient buildings – base, better, best – it’s unique in the sense that finally we are re-empowering people to make conscious decisions. There are options according to your budget, to your wishes, to what you’re sensitive to – it’s very targeted.”
Julie Villard: Architect and Eco-Design Advisor, Christchurch City Council

“SH Certification – each principle has been looked at and decided upon depending on the specific need of that person, of the budget and the design of the home.”

“The principles of Superhome – everyone has a different budget, so depending on where their budget is will depend on whether we have better, best or great (Base, Better, Best).”
