A Passive House is built smarter and performs better than a conventional home. They are warmer as every room is between 20-25 degrees all year round, more energy efficient as they consume 75-90% less heating energy, healthier as there is no dust, condensation, or mould and they are just more comfortable to live in. 

High end, luxury, architecturally designed residential homes are Hofmans Builders forte. We have extensive experience in building high quality, award-winning homes.
