Louise and Andy Kearns have redefined home building by combining quality craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and an unwavering commitment to client care. Founded in 2017, Perway Construction Services began when Andy, a skilled carpenter by trade, recognised a gap in the market. “I was working for someone else and saw a gap in the market in the sense of being able to give clients a better customer experience,” Andy recalls. This insight propelled him to create a business that not only constructs exceptional homes but also nurtures lasting relationships with its clients. Beginning with a focus on carpentry, the company quickly evolved. In 2020, after earning a reputation for quality renovations and attention to detail, Perway transitioned into a full-scale building company. This pivotal change allowed the Kearns’ to expand from traditional carpentry into highend new builds and large-scale renovations—all while holding firm to a core philosophy centered on health, sustainability, and innovation. It was at this point that Andy, drawing on his European background, began to see the potential for a better way of building homes in Australia. Embracing Passive House Principles became a hallmark of their work. “We noticed that houses here in Australia could be built in a better, healthier, more energy-efficient way,” Andy explains. This vision is reflected in every project with features such as timber frame, double-glazed windows,, air cavities, superior weatherproof wrapping and insulation, and advanced HVAC systems that ensure exceptional indoor air quality. By incorporating these elements, Perway Construction Services creates homes that are as enduring as they are elegant, designed not just for aesthetics but for a lifetime of health and comfort.

These days, Perway is known for their meticulous approach to every detail. The company educates clients about selecting low VOC paints and ecofriendly flooring options, ensuring that their home minimises harmful emissions. “We choose products that are better for your health because a home isn’t just a structure—it’s a sanctuary where you spend most of your time,” Andy emphasises. Perway’s commitment to quality materials minimises future challenges such as leaks, damp, or mould, and it reflects an ethos of caring for the occupants long after the build is completed. Equally significant is the personal touch brought by Louise, General Manager, who, alongside Andy as Director and Builder, ensures that every client’s journey is smooth and educational. “Our focus is really on the customers and their experience, even more so than the products that we build,” Louise says. As a company, they understand that building or renovating a home is one of the largest investments a person makes— often ranging between $600,000 and $1.2 million. With stakes this high, they believe in providing an immersive, educational experience for each client. Prospective homeowners are invited to visit their yard, where two mock-up walls are displayed—one built to national standards and one showcasing their advanced passive house techniques. This visual comparison is not only an educational tool but also a powerful reassurance that every detail matters. Perway also highly values energy efficiency, and they strive to build their homes to Passive House standards. This approach leads to homes with lower utility bills and reduced long-term maintenance costs, with their homes often paying THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE AUSTRALIA
for themselves within seven-to-10 years. More importantly, the enhanced indoor air quality, reduced risk of mould, and elimination of damp issues create a healthier living environment. “When you invest in a Perway home, you’re not just buying a building—you’re investing in a healthier way of life,” Louise notes. Innovation is at the heart of Perway’s success. One of the company’s most exciting developments is the introduction of Eco Pods—a new line of prefabricated living units designed to address modern housing challenges. “The Eco Pod is our answer to the challenges of today’s housing market,” Andy explains. These compact units, built to the same rigorous Passive House standard as their larger projects, provide an energy-efficient and affordable housing solution. Whether envisioned as a modern granny flat or as a practical solution for families facing housing shortages, Eco Pods offer flexibility without compromising on health or sustainability. This new product line represents Perway’s commitment to innovation and its dedication to meeting the evolving needs of the community. Community commitment is at the heart of the Kearns’ philosophy. Recognising that quality construction can have a profound impact beyond individual homes, they launched the ‘Build it Forward’ initiative. “We started ‘Build it Forward’ to help repair, renovate, or landscape homes for those in need. It’s about giving back to the community,” Andy passionately shares. Though still in the process of becoming an official charity, ‘Build it Forward’ has already made significant strides by rallying tradespeople and suppliers to volunteer their time and expertise for community projects. This initiative underscores a deepseated belief that investing in quality construction should also mean investing in the community’s well-being. When clients choose Perway, they’re not just building a home – they’re supporting a greater mission to make a difference. A key element that reinforces Perway’s excellence is their partnership with Russell Building Approvals. By working closely with regulatory experts, the company ensures that every project meets the highest standards and exceeds regulatory requirements. This collaboration streamlines the approval process and further solidifies Perway’s reputation as a leader in sustainable, innovative construction practices. The integration of expert guidance from Russell Building Approvals means that each build is as safe and durable as it is modern and efficient. PERWAY CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

The process of building with Perway is marked by a genuine commitment to client relationships. “Typically, issues come up on every project. No matter what—you can never have a perfect project. It’s just a matter of communicating well with clients and having honest conversations and to show that we’re here to look after you. We’re here to work together as a team,” Andy asserts. This promise to support clients long after the completion of a project is central to the company’s philosophy. It reinforces the idea that when you invest in a Perway home, you are choosing a partner who will stand by you through every challenge. Louise and Andy’s story is one of passion, innovation, and integrity. Their approach demystifies the construction process and empowers homeowners to make confident, informed decisions. They understand that while the technical aspects of building are important, the emotional connection and trust built with clients are invaluable. Committed to clients PERWAY CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

“When people invest what is likely the biggest investment of their life, they should choose a builder who listens and understands them,” Andy remarks. This client-first mentality is what sets Perway apart in an industry where rushed timelines and subpar customer service have become all too common. Over the years, the evolution from a small carpentry business to a pioneering building company has been driven by bold choices and an unwavering commitment to quality and sustainability. Andy’s transformation from tradesman to visionary builder is fuelled by a desire to bring European standards of energy efficiency and health to Australia. His insistence on using superior materials and advanced techniques—even at a higher upfront cost—reflects his belief that long-term benefits far outweigh initial expenses. This forward-thinking approach ensures that every project not only meets today’s needs but is also prepared for the future. Perway Construction Services stands as a testament to what can be achieved when innovation meets empathy. Their builds are more than just structures; they are carefully crafted environments designed to enhance quality of life. The combination of sustainable building practices, stateof-the-art materials, and a deep commitment to client care has resulted in a portfolio that is as impressive as it is inspiring.
