Expanding Into Shepparton and Geelong: Energy-Efficient Homes, A Growing Demand

At Passive Builders, we’ve spent more than a decade designing and building custom homes across Victoria. What started in Bendigo over 13 years ago has grown into Ballarat, and now we’re excited to be expanding into Shepparton and Geelong.

Why?

Because we know there’s a growing demand for energy-efficient, comfortable homes—and that’s exactly what we do best.

More Than Just Custom Homes

Every builder says they do “custom,” but we mean it. We design homes from the ground up with our clients, or we can work from your architect’s plans. Either way, what sets us apart is our focus and extensive knowledge on comfort, efficiency and quality.

Some of the details of our homes that we simply call standard!

• LVL framing across all our builds - stronger, straighter, more sustainable timber.

• 140mm external walls – thicker walls mean more insulation, more comfort, and lower bills.

• Insulated slabs – warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and built for long-term efficiency.

• High-performance double-glazed window options.

• Proclima Wrap and systems are used on all our builds - find out more here

• Innovation in standard homes – even if you’re not chasing full Passive House certification, we bring quality build principles into every build to make homes warmer, healthier, and more cost-effective to run.

Leaders in Passive House Building

We’re proud to be one of Victoria’s most experienced Passive House builders. For those who don’t know, Passive House is the gold standard in energy-efficient construction. It’s all about creating homes that maintain stable indoor temperatures year-round, with minimal heating and cooling.

It’s not just a “green tick.” It’s a better way to live. Healthier air quality, lower running costs, and a level of comfort you really need to experience to believe.

For us, it’s about bringing our depth of knowledge and experience to communities that are ready for homes that perform better and last longer.

Our Commitment

Whether you’re building in Shepparton, Geelong, Bendigo, or Ballarat, our approach is the same:

• Listen first, design with you, and build with care.

• Use proven building science to deliver homes that outperform the average.

• Keep things transparent, collaborative, and enjoyable along the way.
