ECOLIV

Good for you. And the planet.

With a background in building design, Ecoliv founder and director Ashley Beaumont had seen too many poorly planned mega-mansions built with little consideration for environmental impacts, energy efficiency, health and wellbeing.

Ecoliv was founded on the principles of sustainable building design that supports the comfort and well-being of occupants, delivers long-term energy efficiency, and protects the natural environment for future generations.

Australian-made and locally manufactured, Ecoliv homes make the most of sustainable materials, resources and natural surroundings while embodying a unique and tailored finish. Having evolved significantly over the years, modular buildings have certainly come a long way, both in contemporary architecture and environmentally sustainable construction.

Offering long-term affordability, our award-winning 7-star energy-rated modular homes are adaptive and responsive. We design our homes to take advantage of the site and surrounding environment, maximise energy efficiency, and utilise natural resources and sustainable materials.

If you’re considering building your new home sustainably, we invite you to live the dream naturally in an Ecoliv home.

We believe that modern luxury is living in comfort without compromising the natural environment. Our sustainably designed and built modular homes minimise negative environmental impacts whilst maximising comfort and wellbeing. Crafted with precision from responsibly sourced and time-tested natural materials, our eco-friendly homes offer beauty and utility with a bold yet understated aesthetic.

Considered design
Contemporary, functional and luxurious, our award-winning home designs are purposefully created to integrate harmoniously with the environment. Our design DNA is ingrained in the Australian landscape and lifestyle.

Sustainable building
Using locally sourced, renewable, and sustainable building materials along with limiting wastage during the construction process, our eco-friendly approach to building design and construction addresses the needs of the present without compromising the future.

Energy efficient
Climate responsive and operationally efficient, Ecoliv homes harness natural resources to provide a healthy indoor living environment, keeping you comfortable, safe and happy.

Comfort + wellbeing
Designed to increase air circulation, maximise cross-flow ventilation and improve indoor air quality by using low-tox materials, you can breathe easy in your Ecoliv home.

Precision craftsmanship
Made in our entirely off-grid construction facility in Gippsland, our building designs are a marriage of beauty and utility blending contemporary Australian architecture with the natural environment. Every detail is considered and each home is thoughtfully created from frames to finishes.

Carbon neutral
Our EcoGeneration homes are designed to produce enough renewable energy to offset the annual greenhouse gas emissions associated with their energy use. This means EcoGeneration homes are operationally carbon neutral.

Australian-made, family-owned.
Ecoliv sustainable modular homes are proudly Australian-owned, made with locally and responsibly sourced materials in our Gippsland construction facility.

Building your dream home should be exciting, not daunting or stressful. We’ve simplified the building process making it an easy, transparent and enjoyable journey where you know exactly what to expect and when – right up to handing over the keys to your new home.

Three steps to simplify the journey to your new home

Phase one.
Pre-construction

We guide you through the pre-construction journey to ensure the design suits your site and minimises environmental impact before we confirm all details in readiness for contract signing. Here’s what we’ll cover in phase one:

Site reports
We’ll require important information relating to your site including a soil test report, land survey report, bushfire assessment level (BAL) report, along with any site-related additional details.

Site visit
We’ll visit your site and complete a thorough assessment to ensure your design utilises the full potential of the natural environment and your surroundings.

Confirm design brief and upgrades
You’ll review our materials selection guide and optional upgrades making a choice on which colour palette and upgrades you’d love to move forward with.

Preliminary design
Next, we’ll prepare preliminary designs for you to review.

Engage consultants
We’ll engage a thermal performance assessor for your Energy Rating and a Structural Engineer for footings and structural details.

Confirm finance
You’ll need to speak to your bank, financial advisor or mortgage broker to lock in any financial decisions and details for this project.

Phase two.
Approvals

We take care of design documentation during the Approvals phase to ensure the process runs smoothly. Here’s what we’ll cover in Phase two:

Town planning/development approval
If your project requires Council approvals we’ll provide design documentation ready for submission.

Contracts
We’ll provide you with contract documentation to sign.

Building permit approval
We provide design drawings and documentation required for the building permit application.
