hamish white
Hamish's journey to building high-performance homes wasn't your typical straight line. He started out with a business and marketing degree from La Trobe Uni, but soon realised being stuck in an office wasn't for him. With a love for the outdoors and inspired by his wife's work as an ecologist, Hamish took a leap and began his carpentry and building apprenticeship at 23. This new path led him to sustainable building practices and eventually to his passion for high-performance homes and the Passive House standard. Now, Hamish reckons every Sanctum Home should meet these high standards, showing his commitment to building quality homes that are good for the planet.
Sanctum Homes believes that homes should make a positive impact – on the people that live in them and the environment. That’s why they build beautiful, high-performing, energy-efficient homes.

matthew carland
Matt's building journey kicked off with a carpentry apprenticeship at 20 after completing a degree in Nutrition and Science, but things really took a turn after he did the Passive House tradesperson course. This course blew Matt's mind and inspired him to shift the focus of Carland Constructions to high-performance and Passive House projects, ultimately leading to a desire to always build better. Matt's will admit he wasn't the best chippy on the tools. His real strengths lie behind the scenes – managing projects and finding solutions to tricky building problems. He's the one who keeps things running smoothly and makes sure every detail is spot on.
Carland Constructions has a passion for creating spaces that enhance lives while minimising environmental impact. They build homes that just feel better. Healthier, optimised, more comfortable. Built responsibly and simply built better
