In this episode, we’re joined by Jesse Raeburn, a former Block contestant, and real estate agent turned builder, who is now creating high-performance, sustainable homes in Melbourne.

Jesse shares his journey from starting as a tiler in Queensland to transitioning into real estate, and eventually following his passion for building. He reflects on the valuable lessons he learned along the way — including the importance of building strong relationships with agents, and how choosing the right clients can help avoid unnecessary stress and ensure a smoother build process.

We explore key principles of sustainable construction such as airtightness, insulation, and long-term cost savings, and dive into how public perception around energy-efficient homes is slowly changing. Jesse also explains how his background in real estate shaped his understanding of the market, and why education plays a crucial role in shifting both client expectations and industry standards.

This conversation offers great insight for builders, designers, and industry professionals looking to better understand the intersection of sustainability, construction, and client engagement.
