Builder, Designer & Assessor: Why early collaboration is key to sustainable building design
26/03/2025
Get a builder, a building designer, and a thermal performance assessor in the same room and there’s something they’re all in furious agreement about: collaboration. And doing it early and often. And not just to share stories and laughs. Why? Because each of them brings unique expertise that, when combined, is far more powerful than the sum of its parts. So, this episode of DMN TALK is dedicated to the magic that happens when these three amigos line up, side by side, shoulder to shoulder, at the start of every new project. As we listen, we’ll learn how, when it comes to the benefits early collaboration brings to sustainable building design, the sky really is the limit.
Featuring:
- Builder and energy assessor, Jeremy Spencer of Positive Footprints Sustainable House Design and Construction
- Building designer, Sven Maxa of Maxa Design, Sustainable Home Design, Melbourne Building Designers and
- Thermal Performance Assessor, Darren Parker of Australian Energyraters.
