Important to get certain fundamentals right from the start
Focus on the fundamentals – what you need for a Superhome as opposed to what you may want...
Get the fundamentals right at the start and then you can upgrade in different areas depending on your priorities and your budget
“There are ways of building a Superhome without costing the earth, but there are some fundamentals that must be hit – meaning that, in the long run, the building continues to be... SUPER!”

“When we build a Superhome there are certain pathways. You can go the whole length, or you can just go a certain step at a time. But, there are minimum things that you should do that are not negotiable. The minimum basic standards I always tell my clients are; airtightness, the insulation value, the heat recovery system and windows.”
Susanne Schade: Architecta (2024)
“We built our house on a shoestring. There are things that really mattered to us and we weren't going to compromise... and then there were other things that didn't matter so much. It didn't matter what it looked like – it's how it functioned.”
Guy Gillespie: Character Builders
“There are some fundamentals that are critical, but we can sometimes pick and choose with things like, budget and what works for a specific home. With Superhome's BASE, BETTER, BEST we can aim for BASE on one criteria and then opt for BEST on another.”
