A new home for our Brisbane Office
Due to continuing growth, our Brisbane Office has relocated to West End.
We have extensively refurbished the two storey building to meet our needs, and have created a comfortable and felxible environment for our staff.
The buidling is well located in the heart of the West End Business District, and provides ample scope for future expansion of our services. |
Energy Star Rating Accreditation
A number of staff members at Ashburner Francis are now Accredited Assessors for the Energy Star Rating of houses and residential buildings.
Efficient energy performance is now a requirement of the Building Code of Australia for housing, and a number of local authorities also require the submission of Energy Performance Reports for multi-unit residential and commercial buildings as part of the approval process.
Energy performance reports must be prepared by an accredited assessor, and often need to be based on computer modelling of energy performance using a recognised software package.
