Better Energy Efficiency in 3 Simple Steps

This simple 3 step process helps you crush your compliance requirements and go beyond them with ease to deliver homes of the future for your clients.

Step 1: Optimise It

Optimise a home and its energy efficiency to be more cost-effective to build and run, be more comfortable and healthier to live in while achieving eligibility for a better home loan*.

When: Optimise the home during Sketch or Concept phases or before you apply for Planning Approval.

Optimize Your Home from Planning to Concept with Arkata's Expert Energy Efficiency Consultation for Cost-Effective, Comfortable Living.

Step 2: Certify It

Because the analysis and decision-making are done early, getting your required approval reports and project certifications become simple and streamlined (think ticking the box simple!).

When: Get certified during Construction Documentation or before you apply for required Building Permits and subsequent Development Approval.

Streamline Approvals and Certifications with Arkata's Step 2, Ensuring a Smooth Path from Construction Documentation to Development Approval for Your Energy-Efficient Project.

Step 3: Live It

Empower your clients with a Homeowner’s Manual that is a unique guide to their new home. This acts as a how-to manual for living in a highly energy efficient home and how to get the most of their investment.

When: Issued after final certification reports.
