High-performance new homes & energy-efficient renovations in the City of Boroondara
At Coy’s Constructions, we design and build high-performance Passive House and near-passive homes for Camberwell families, plus smart, energy-efficient renovations that make period homes comfortable year-round. Expect quiet interiors, healthy filtered air and lower energy bills, without compromising on architecture or finishes.
Why Camberwell is ideal for a Passive House
Leafy streets, heritage character and handy transport around Camberwell Junction make performance-led building a smart choice here. Camberwell sits in the City of Boroondara (postcode 3124) and includes well-known pockets near Burke, Riversdale and Camberwell Roads areas with many period dwellings where comfort upgrades shine. Heritage overlays are common locally, so it pays to engage a builder who can plan airtight, insulated envelopes that respect heritage streetscapes and approvals.
What We Build in Camberwell
- Custom Passive House builds (concept → keys)
- Passive retrofits & energy-efficient renovations for Edwardian, Victorian & inter-war homes
- Airtight envelope detailing (membranes, tapes, blower-door testing)
- High-performance glazing (thermally broken frames; double or triple glazing)
- MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery) for clean, filtered fresh air
- Insulation upgrades to roof, walls & slab tuned to Melbourne’s climate
- Solar-ready, electrified systems: heat-pump hot water, induction cooking, efficient heating/cooling
- Low-tox, durable finishes for a healthy, long-life home
Victoria offers evolving incentives for efficient upgrades (e.g., Solar Victoria PV rebates and loans for eligible homes). We’ll help you navigate what’s current during pre-construction.
