Building for a better future…

Welcome!

If you are building your own sustainable home, renovating an existing home or looking to buy a sustainable home we can help you.

We offer support to key decision makers and organisations in the building industry and strive to make ‘sustainable communities’ the norm.

Ecos Trust is a charity that offers an ongoing programme of events, seminars and conferences. The Trust offers site tours of real life examples of homes being built sustainably. We provide consultancy, advice and project management. We run ‘Homes for Good’, the South West’s annual Sustainable Building (Homes and Gardens) Exhibition.

We believe that sustainable design and construction is better for the environment, human health and social welfare.

Ecos Homes (formerly South West Eco-Homes Ltd) is a subsidiary of Ecos Trust and demonstrates a new ecological approach to building sustainably and living sustainably. Its first pioneering and award-winning project in Langport, Great Bow Yard, demonstrates a working example of sustainable and mixed-use development with 12 stunningly designed eco-homes and a Grade II listed warehouse. Current build projects include five sustainable homes built to the Code Level 5 in Stawell with further developments throughout the South West at planning stage.
