Form and function are one. Our Mission
- Frank Lloyd Wright Here at econstruct our experienced team
of architects, designers, engineers and
builders create modern eco homes in the
Northern Rivers of NSW. Homes that
don’t cost the earth.
These project homes deliver all you
would expect in a custom built home with
environmentally friendly options included -

need to be suitable for your changing needs
and we offer advice on a range of upgrades
and extras from independant researchers.
Solar & solar passive designs will save
around $3000 p/yr* in these significantly
low carbon footprint homes.
Eco Philosophy
When choosing a house you may find other
Companies offer you the earth, and only
later disclose the extras, or you may find
‘environmentally friendly options’ that are
not much better than regular materials as
the companies involved take commissions
from their suppliers. We offer low-carbon
footprint designs; bamboo flooring; low
VOC paints; solar passive design all included
with other hand-picked options that have
been independantly recommended to save
you the earth!
And a building must be like a human being. featuring
It must have a wholeness about it, some-
thing that is very important. - Minoru Yamasaki
