How to Build Your Dream Home in 2026 — Without Breaking the Bank

Thursday 29th January 2026

From 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM

5/229 Bank St, Welshpool WA 6106

Event Details

Building a home in 2026 is no longer about building bigger.
It’s about building smarter. Construction costs are high. Land is expensive. Energy prices are rising. And the old assumption that “it will all pay off in the end” no longer holds. In this practical, no-nonsense presentation, Daniel Kress will show you how to build a high-quality, comfortable, future-proof home in today’s Perth market without breaking the bank.

Daniel will explain:

Why size is not a measure of quality
How smart design and compactness can save tens of thousands
Where money is commonly wasted in residential builds
Why windows are the weakest (and most misunderstood) part of the building envelope
How Passive House principles improve comfort, health, and long-term value
Why every home should be modelled before it’s built (digital twin / PHPP)
How green loans and smart financing can significantly reduce repayments
