About ESD Consultants
Simplifying energy compliance for Australian building projects.
Our Mission
Energy compliance in Australia is complicated. Every state has different rules, different star rating requirements, and different assessment processes. Whether you need a NatHERS assessment in Victoria, a BASIX certificate in NSW, or a Section J report for a commercial fitout in Queensland, the requirements can be overwhelming.
That’s exactly why we exist.
ESD Consultants is a referral service that connects homeowners, builders, developers, and architects with accredited ESD consultants and energy assessors across Australia. We cut through the confusion and match you with the right professional for your specific project.
How We Work
Our process is simple and free:
- Tell us about your project — location, building type, and what assessment you need.
- We match you with an accredited consultant — someone local who specialises in exactly what you need.
- Get your report or certificate — your matched consultant completes the work and delivers your documentation.
Our Network
Every consultant in our network holds current professional accreditation through recognised bodies including ABSA (Association of Building Sustainability Assessors), NABERS, and the Green Building Council of Australia. All consultants carry professional indemnity insurance and are experienced in their specific assessment types.
