Who We Are

Green Star Ratings

A Green Star is the trusted mark of quality for the design, construction and operation of sustainable buildings. But what are its benefits?

Improved ventilation, including other indoor environmental standards, and low-toxic materials are the health-giving qualities. 

Green Star-certified buildings use 66 per cent less electricity and produce 62 per cent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than the average building. They also use 51 per cent less potable water than average buildings and recycle 96 per cent of their waste (compared with 58 per cent for the average new construction project). 

Homecorp has a range of designs with a minimum 7 Green Star Rating.

Since our inception in 2004, we have continuously raised the bar with master planned communities in Rockhampton and prestigious home construction in Queensland to full-turn key regional developments in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

A good home design considers all aspects of the site and building – orientation, site features, thermal performance, floor plan, materials, finishes, technologies, appliances, and landscape.

Site analysis

Our team conduct a ‘SWOT’ analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) for all our estates as well as the individual lots. This ensures our designs consider the local environment and specific attributes of the site.

Our site analysis considers things like:

• local climate (including the climate in your region and the site’s ‘microclimate’)
• orientation
• solar access
• prevailing seasonal winds
• views
• overshadowing by landforms, trees and existing buildings (site survey)
• slope (site survey)
• soil type (geotechnical report)
• stormwater drainage
• access and transport
• services (power, gas, phone, internet, water, sewer)
