Q&A WITH TREASE BUILDERS: What change have you seen in the construction of custom design and built homes? TREASE - We would say the increasing awareness and use of renewable and sustainable materials such as pine framing and trims rather than hardwood and the use of veneer products such as LVL beams, particleboard flooring, plywood and other engineered products. There is a lot of thought in the orientation of homes than ever before to maximise passive solar outcomes. Orientation is the positioning of a building in relation to seasonal variations in the sun’s path as well as prevailing wind patterns. Good design and orientation can increase the energy efficiency of your home, thus making it more comfortable to live in and cheaper to run.
