UNDERSTANDING HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIVING
What Is A High-Performance Home?
A high-performance home is built to exceed standard building practices. It uses proven methods, advanced materials, and strict attention to detail to create a home that is:
- Energy efficient and cost-saving to operate
- Comfortable in every season with consistent temperatures
- Healthier, with improved air quality and reduced moisture issues
- Durable, built to last for generations
Whether you are aiming for Net-Zero Ready, Passive House standards, or simply want a more energy-efficient home, we align the build with your goals.
STEPS
Our High-Performance Home Building Process
Every home we build follows a clear process that keeps you informed and ensures quality at every step.
Phase 1: Initial Consultation
Foundation for Your Future
Your dream home begins with listening. We sit down to understand your lifestyle, design inspirations, and long-term goals. This isn’t just about square footage or finishes—it’s about building the foundation for your future with clarity and intention.
Phase 2: Design & Planning
Where Ideas Take Shape
We turn your ideas into a tailored plan, balancing character, performance, and budget. Every detail is mapped out to avoid surprises later. Careful planning ensures your home will be both timeless in style and durable in performance.
Phase 3: Permits & Site Preparation
Clearing The Path
Behind the scenes, we handle permits, coordinate with municipalities, and prepare the land so the build can move forward smoothly. This ensures your project stays on track and ready for construction.
Phase 4: Construction
Craftsmanship in Action
This is where the dream rises from the ground. Our team builds with precision, communication, and care, keeping you updated every step of the way. From foundation to finishing touches, quality is never compromised.
Phase 5: Handover
Foundation for Your Future
We walk you through your new custom home, ensuring every detail is complete. More than keys in your hand, this is the beginning of your next chapter in a space built with intention and lasting value.

What Our Clients Say
We believe good work speaks for itself — but it means even more when our clients speak up too.
“After discovering rot behind the siding in one of the walls of our house, we felt fortunate to find Jordan and his team to work on repairs for us. They did a quality job, and communicated regularly to keep us up to date on progress. We would recommend Buck Robertson Contracting.”
