Our Healthy Home Builds on The Gold Coast
Indoor Air Quality Assessment
Indoor Air Quality Assessments take into account the temperature of the air in your home, the movement of air throughout your home, the amount of moisture moving through the air, and any ‘leaks’ in your external barrier which can lead to temperature fluctuations and moisture build-up. Purcell Homes can conduct in-depth air quality assessments as part of our home health check to determine what improvements can be made to ensure you’re living in a healthy home and can carry out alterations and renovations to achieve the best result for your health and home.
Allergy Reduction Strategies
We are highly qualified and certified Passive House builders. A key function of Passive Homes is maximising air quality, which significantly benefits people with allergies. We can help you upgrade your home’s air filtration to mitigate allergens and contaminants.
Home Ventilation Solutions
Ventilation doesn’t start and end with exhaust fans or air conditioning – ensuring you have high-quality windows and doors to create an airtight seal, and pairing this with a mechanical ventilation system and energy recovery core can maximise your home’s air quality and ventilation – without costing a fortune in energy costs.
Moisture and Mould Control
Moisture left unchecked in your home produces mould which can be hazardous for your health and home, leading to respiratory issues, sensitivities/allergies, as well as inviting rot and pests! Getting on top of your home’s ventilation will make moisture and mould much easier to manage, mitigating the risk they can have on your health. As Passive Home experts, we can offer a range of options to upgrade your home and your health.

How We Work: A Step-by-Step Process
Initial Consultation and Home Assessment
Purcell Homes is an owner-operated company, so we keep close contact with you regularly throughout the initial home health check consultation and assessment in order for our recommendations to be clear and concise.
Customised Healthy Home Plan
We’ll develop a tailored plan to identify the areas that could be improved – all healthy homes feature the best possible insulation, moisture control, airflow, and ventilation.
Implementation and Monitoring
We’re all about sustainability, so prefer deconstructing over demolishing when renovating an existing home. We constantly test and monitor air quality as we work so your home is kept as healthy as possible. This is especially important if you are still living in your home while we renovate.
Ongoing Support and Follow-Up
We’re not finished until you’re satisfied, and we’re dedicated to making this an enjoyable and pleasing experience from start to finish. We’ll maintain communication with you and won’t leave you in the dark until you’re completely happy with the end result.
