TEAM BIOS

STEVE SCHAPPERT, Founding Member and CEO, The BIOS Organization LLC.

 Steve Schappert  created The BIOS Philosophy in 2004, and founded The BIOS Center in 2008.

 

  The "BIOS" concept in its most basic form is simply, "do well by doing good", a simple philosophy that could save the environment and boost the economy.   Schappert says, "There are no delusions, it is a lifetime of work for many people. A lifetime dedicated to leaving the world a better place for the next seven generations. It's about people caring enough to get involved, roll up their sleeves and taking ownership in a cause that is more than just building and selling homes.  It's our present, our future and the dreams of many.  Today Steve is focusing all his efforts on building the BIOS brand and helping others promote the green side of their business. Steve is searching for others to partner with to make the world a little greener and affordable, because he knows full well the combination is required for the world to see real sustainable change.    Learn More About Steve

SCOTT NORTHCOTT, – Principal Licensee Northcott Properties

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA

Scott lives and breathes property.

From the ground up, Scott is involved in all aspects of the purchase and construction of properties for his clients. With a background in business management and human resources, Scott is able to think very differently from others in the Australian real estate industry. This has seen Scott lead the way, internationally sourcing property for Australian investors and setting up Global Property Club for international investors to purchase properties all around the world. In Australia, Scott runs, Buyers Only, a buyers agency service, helping buyers find the best properties at the best price.

During his international travels Scott became aware of the need to begin to change the way construction is performed, especially in his home country. “I have seen many properties from many different places, all around the world, and what I see is waste and poor use of energy and resources.  This upsets me as I know there is a better way. I now have the goal to make Zero carbon footprint housing available to Australians and not just the ones with lots of money. For sustainable living to have the most impact on our environment, it needs to be available to anyone who chooses and should not be restricted by high cost or complexity of build process. I value our relationship with Bios homes, as it will help me achieve this goal and bring affordability and simplicity to Australians and the new era of Zero Living.”
