The Rise of Outdoor Living Spaces

Aussies have always had a love affair with the outdoors – it’s in our DNA. Whether it’s Sunday barbies, lazy summer afternoons, or evenings spent under the stars, we naturally gravitate toward outdoor living. That’s why more and more homeowners are choosing to blur the lines between inside and out, creating homes that celebrate the best of both worlds.

Nature in Construction: Why Biophilic Design Matters More Than Ever

Biophilic design in residential projects goes beyond decoration—it's about creating a home that supports your health, mood, and everyday comfort. Natural light reduces electricity use and boosts your mood. Timber, stone, and indoor plants bring warmth, freshness, and a sense of grounding. Whether you're building from scratch or renovating, even small touches—like a green wall in the kitchen, or timber-framed sliding doors—can reconnect your family to the calming rhythms of the natural world.

As we say at Prescom Constructions:
“A house built with nature is a home built with heart.”

How to Communicate Effectively with your Builder

When you’re building or renovating your home, one of the most important tools you can have isn’t a hammer or a set of plans – it’s clear communication with your builder.
