Go Green Home Builders toowoombaThink about the orientation of your house on your chosen block of land. By orientating your home on its site, you can take advantage of the sun and the cooling breeze. Good orientation will reduce the need for support heating and cooling and improves the use of panels for solar heating and hot water.

  • By applying some form of shading to your house, you can reduce summer temperatures, improve your comfort and save energy. “Direct sun can generate the same heat as a single bar radiator over each square metre of a surface”. Eaves, window awnings, shutters, pergolas, solar block windows and plants or trees are all effective ways of shading your house and can block up to 90% of the heat.
  • Insulation is a must in every house. Not only does it act as a barrier to heat flow keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer, it also helps with weather and sound proofing your home. Insulation should be installed when the house is being constructed to ensure maximum efficiency.
  • Skylights can admit more than three times as much light as a vertical window of the same size, and can improve natural ventilation. Factors which should be considered however are the size, spacing, energy efficiency and appropriateness for climate to ensure that unwanted heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter doesn’t occur. Install a skylight in an area of your house which lacks the capacity to have widows and this will ensure a source of natural light.

TJS Building Group: June 2015

 

The first half of June has already been a busy one for TJS Building Group. With so many jobs on the go at the one time (across Queensland, the Northern territory and two down in New South Wales), our computers are nearly full of progress photos of jobs we are still working on, and jobs that we have just finished. After recently receiving progress photos from an excited client, we have decided that the best thing to do with all these photos is to share them.

 

 

Goombungee

Our first lot of progress photos to be shared for June are of a recently started job in Goombungee, just outside of Toowoomba.

TJS Building Group: February 2015

 

We do a Bathroom and combined Laundry Renovation...Because the owners didn't want to extend the original dwelling, our design team had to find a creative solution when renovating the laundry and bathroom areas to create combined laundry and main bathroom plus a separate ensuite area. Using antique elements, we've helped create a sophisticated modern interpretation that would work well for similar renovation projects or new home designs. Complete with a beautiful claw foot bath and antique wash stand plus stunning Detroit Graphite tiles on both the floor and walls, this bathroom is just gorgeous.

Two transportable homes are being constructed ready to be shipped out to Roma. Drive past the office on the corner of Alderley and Greenwattle Street in Toowoomba to see the progress. -->  The Transportable Homes are now fully constructed and are waiting to be transported to Roma in the next week... Watch this space to see photos of the move.
