About Living Green Designer Homes?

Living Green Designer Homes was established by accredited HIA Greensmart Builder and MBA Member, Craig Riddle, who has a long history in residential, industrial and commercial construction spanning over 25 years.

Living Green Designer Homes is striving to streamline the process and make it more environmentally sympathetic, so that housing can be more accessible and affordable for all members of the community.

People can also feel reassured that they are a part of helping to preserve our environment by choosing to build a home that has a minimal effect on the environment. It's a whole new way of thinking that allows us to simplify housing with an added bonus of lowering running costs throughout it's life cycle.

Living Green Designer Homes will let the home buyers have more choices in the house they build, to let them live the life they want.

Living Green Designer Homes takes a revolutionary approach to the design and construction of their homes with a commitment to further product research & development. This enables Living Green to stay at the forefront with the latest developments in green technology and construction.
