At Ethos we work with you to design and build the home you desire. A signature Ethos home is airtight, well insulated, mechanically ventilated with a heat recovery system, and fitted with thermally broken double or triple glazed recessed joinery. Our homes improve you and your families health and wellbeing with improved air quality, reducing the levels of dust, moisture and pollen; improved thermal comfort, no room to room temperature variation, no drafts, reduced seasonal and daily temperature variations; and all with lower running costs.
We build every home like it was our own. We work with you throughout the entire process from design to landscaping ensuring we deliver on your dream.

Our goal is to build a strong relationship with you our client, with clear lines of communication, transparency, regular site meetings, access to our online build portal with a detailed schedule, progress updates/reports and site photos, to make you feel at ease during the build process.
