About Us

Dedicated High Performance Home Builder in Sydney

We are a premium residential builder, and our reputation as a certified high performance home builder in Sydney is built on precision standards. Operating across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and Greater Sydney, our team delivers bespoke High-Performance homes. Every project we construct is backed by a physical Blower Door Test at completion to verify airtight construction, energy efficiency, and thermal performance.

We work hand-in-hand with your architect or designer during pre-construction to ensure the design matches your actual budget. As Stephane says, “There's nothing worse than having a design that you cannot afford at the end.”

We are not a volume builder. We do not take every project. We take the right projects and build them correctly.

Our Building Outcomes

Four core high-performance building outcomes. Proven by building science, engineered for your comfort.

Healthy Indoor Air

Continuously filtered fresh air via mechanical HRV ventilation and stable indoor humidity, significantly reducing the risk of toxic mould.

Thermal Comfort

Stable indoor temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, year-round, with minimal active heating or cooling.

Acoustic Silence

An airtight building envelope that significantly calms loud coastal wind, traffic, and aircraft noise.

High Energy Efficiency

Up to 90% less energy used for space conditioning for the lifetime of the building fabric.

Our Process

Let's Get Started

You have two options before committing to a full construction contract. Both protect your time and your money.

01

On-Site Feasibility Study

Stephane visits your property to evaluate geotechnical constraints, council planning overlays, and solar access, and to determine whether your project goals align with your site's physical realities before you commit to architectural design.

Schedule Your Property Feasibility Study
02

Quick Building Estimate (QBE)

Once the site is confirmed as viable, we produce an early pre-construction estimate using automated BOQ takeoff and our estimating software. You get a realistic number before your architect finalises drawings.

Our Guarantee

The Blaise Precision Guarantee

Choosing a passive house builder in Sydney for your custom project requires complete trust. The Blaise Precision Guarantee is our operational commitment to transparency, technical precision, and budget security on every sustainable construction project we accept.

Design-to-Budget Certainty

Our architect collaboration process means we review your architect's drawings before they are finalised to correct budget misalignments during the design stage, keeping your sustainable construction project fully secure.

Certified Performance

Every bespoke home we build must pass a physical Blower Door Test at completion to verify airtight construction against international standards, providing documented proof of your building's energy efficiency.

Zero Communication Gaps

We provide total project transparency through our client portal, active throughout construction. You have access to site schedules, progress photos, and direct communication, removing all silent weeks so you can build with confidence.

Post-Build Care Reminders

Every six months, we schedule automated maintenance reminders covering your mechanical HRV filters, gutters, and general performance checks to ensure your high performance home performs at a superior level.

These commitments are built into our construction workflow from day one. If you want a Sydney builder who takes absolute responsibility for your home's performance and your budget, the smartest first step is to book an on-site feasibility study.

Process Overview

Our High-Performance Delivery Process

A successful build requires a disciplined, step-by-step roadmap. We keep your project organised from your first site consultation through to final handover and certification, ensuring complete transparency at every stage of the build.

01

On-Site Feasibility Study

Stephane visits your property to evaluate geotechnical constraints, council planning overlays, and solar access, and to determine whether your project goals align with your site's physical realities before you commit to architectural design.

02

Quick Building Estimate (QBE)

Once feasibility is confirmed, our team produces an early pre-construction estimate. We use automated BOQ takeoff via our estimating software. You get a realistic number before your architect finalises drawings.

03

Early Construction Involvement (ECI)

We collaborate with your architect during the design stage to review detailing, buildability, and passive house compliance. This architect collaboration prevents the costly redesigns and late-stage variations common in standard builds.

04

Letter of Engagement

Once design and initial estimates are stable, clients sign a formal Letter of Engagement to secure Blaise Building Services as their builder and lock in their build slot.

05

Final Build Estimate & Contract

We execute detailed 3D modeling, perform a comprehensive pricing review with our trade partners, and draft the final construction contract with guaranteed pricing.

06

Certified Construction

We manage the construction of your high-performance envelope under strict quality controls. Our specialised team handles everything from airtight construction to structural framing, keeping you updated daily via your client portal.

07

Blower Door Testing

At completion, we conduct a physical Blower Door Test to measure and verify the airtightness of your building envelope, providing documented certification of your home's energy efficiency.

08

Post-Build Support

Every six months, we schedule maintenance check-ins to inspect your mechanical ventilation filters, gutters, and structural elements, protecting your investment and maintaining peak performance long-term.

These eight steps are how we eliminate building anxiety and deliver on our performance promises. If you want a structured, transparent process from a dedicated high-performance home builder in Sydney, the first step is to book an on-site feasibility study.

We engaged Blaise Building to do a passivhaus report (guiding the selection of materials to suit our location and climate), framing, and passivehaus elements to our home. This ended in a blower door test to assure targets were met. Our desired goal was to create a home with passivhaus principles (not certified passivhaus) and we agreed on a target of under 2.0 ACH50. The final result his team achieved for us was just under 1.0.

Let me start by saying that I am extremely meticulous with extremely high expectations for precision work. Blaise exceeded all my expectations and the team are extremely professional and very friendly. They specialise in exceptional carpentry but even more so in ensuring homes are built to keep out mould and moisture by ensuring it is well sealed with the best products. I have not been able to fault any of their work and would be more than happy to recommend them to anyone.

We had a deck designed, renovated and additions installed. The quality of the work is X 5 star. The team work hard and the end result was impressive and we would not consider any other builder/carpenter in the future. We trust Blaise 100% and thank you for helping create such a wonderful space for our family.

Steph and his team are highly adaptable, polite, clean and very patient. I changed my mind many times during our build. Steph and his team were very accommodating and dynamic enough to pivot with the changes even when those changes became more technical than the original job.

What is a Passive House?

First created in Germany, Passivhaus is considered one of the most rigorous voluntary, energy and health based standard in the world's design and construction industry today.

Why Build An Airtight House?

Many building owners are unaware that airtight construction improves the quality of life while costing less money to run. Furthermore, an airtight structure lasts longer.
