At Quicksmart homes we are proud to have developed
a sustainable product that is totally reusable. The buildings, in
effect, can be taken down in the future and reused on another site.
They are recyclable buildings.
Quicksmart modules are designed intelligently with thermal
efficiency as an integral feature of every module. This reduces the
energy needed to heat or cool living spaces and in turn lowers the
lifecycle costs of the building.
We also try to design standardisation into all elements of the
product in order to reduce waste and packaging - and clients' costs
too. Typically the packaging and cutting waste generated on site
from a Quicksmart building during construction is a tiny fraction
of that produced of a comparable building built traditionally.
Quicksmart Homes were award the ACT's Sustainable Cities Award
for Commercial Buildings in 2010 for the ANU's Laurus Wing student
accommodation blocks. The design incorporated increase thermal
performance as part of Quicksmart's products and also improved
window design to reduce acoustic transfer.
