BUILDING A GLOBAL BRAND “Green Homes Australia commenced operations back in 2006 and grew fairly rapidly through the early 2000s,” Fabar explains. By 2012, the company had successfully transitioned to a franchise model, extending its reach across most metropolitan and regional areas of the country.Three years later, it had achieved national coverage under the Green Homes brand. Expansion into New Zealand followed, and in 2019, Green Homes began operations in the United States, utilizing a similar business framework. Today, the combined efforts of these entities result in the construction of over 1,000 homes annually, with the Green Homes brand globally trademarked and copyrighted.The company now operates in more than 67 locations across Australia and maintains a hybrid corporate-franchise model that continues to attract builders who seek more than just profit—they want purpose. DELIVERING ENERGY-EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS Green Homes Australia operates through a hybrid model that blends corporate oversight with franchise-driven delivery.The company delivers new builds and upgrades existing homes, emphasizing full energy efficiency in both approaches. Its team comprises a diverse set of professionals, including energy home modelers, architects, brand managers, and construction supervisors. This enables them to maintain strict quality control throughout the entire building process, while tailoring solutions to local climates and consumer needs. “We operate out of several display model home precincts and partner exclusively with national retailers to offer the best affordable outcome for our clients,” Fabar says. Notably, all of Green Homes Australia’s designs are pre-approved under the Green Loan Program—a government-backed initiative that provides reduced interest rates to consumers building energy-efficient homes. “We’re one of the only builders in the country to have our full suite of designs fully approved by the Green Loan Program,” he adds. From fully custom projects to spec homes and turnkey solutions, the company offers a broad range of builds grounded in energy-conscious design.They maintain consistency across the board by applying solar passive design principles and a rigorous modeling process for energy efficiency. EFFICIENCY STARTS WITH THE BLUEPRINT In a market where “smart homes” are frequently equated with sustainable homes, Fabar’s perspective offers a much-needed recalibration. “The reality is that to build an energy-efficient, sustainable, healthy home, there is no technology required,” he says.
