About the
Professional

Ethos Homes are qualified passive house and high-performance home builders, we are passionate about building homes that perform for you. We know what it takes to design and build your home to perform for you.

The signatures of an Ethos home are airtight, well insulated, mechanically ventilated with thermally broken double or triple glazed recessed joinery. We measure the airtightness of the homes we build so you can be assured of its performance
