Who are we?

We offer the services of Green Star Accredited Professional and Accredited Energy Raters.
Paula Gibson Roy has spent over ten years as a project manager on major commercial projects in Melbourne. Her search to move into the area of environmentally sustainable building left her with one option - to start her own business. Paula has a strong commitment to sustainability through good design and believes the fundamental building blocks of sustainability need not be expensive.
Paula holds a Bachelor of Building, Bachelor of Planning and Design, and a Bachelor of Architecture. She is an accredited GreenStar Professional (Green Building Council of Australia) and was a member of the GreenStar Technical Working Group - Retail. Paula is a board member of the Moreland Energy Foundation.
Catherine Gibson Roy often jokes that she joined the business to help do the books and never escaped. Her personal interest in sustainability within a built-up urban environment has kept her interested in the work and she has played an active role in the development of the firm.
Catherine holds a Diploma of Arts, Bachelor of Business (Accounting) and MBA. She is an accredited energy rater, a board member of Sustainable Gardening Australia, and is a past member of the Green Building Council Education Committee.
