Building a passive home in the ACT isn’t just about ticking a specification box
— it’s about creating a home that performs in Canberra’s extreme climate. At Supa Construct, led by Phil Bates, we’ve been building homes in the ACT for over 50+ years, with the last 10+ years focused specifically on passive and high-performance homes.
We help clients design and build homes that stay comfortable year-round, drastically reduce energy use, and are constructed properly — from airtightness and insulation through to window installation and detailing.
Passive Homes Built for ACT Conditions
A passive home is designed to use minimal heating and cooling while maintaining stable indoor comfort — even through freezing winters and hot summers.
At Supa Construct, our passive and high-performance builds typically focus on:
High-performance insulation systems (walls, roof/ceiling, slab edge)
Airtight construction and controlled sealing strategies
High-quality windows and doors, correctly specified and installed
Thermal bridge reduction at critical junctions
Ventilation strategies that support healthy indoor air quality
Moisture and condensation management
Build sequencing that protects performance outcomes on site
The result: a quieter, healthier, more comfortable home with significantly lower running costs.
If you’re serious about building a passive or high-performance home in the ACT, work with a builder who’s been doing it successfully for decades — not years.
