Timberframe vs. block build, geothermal heating vs. wood pellet, double glazing vs. triple glazing, underfloor heating vs. radiators.....Building a new home is probably one of the biggest investments you will make and you want to get things right. Why not seek out some impartial advice to help ensure you are making the right decisions. A small investment now, will reap substantial long term saving.

Once you book a consultation, we will sit down with you to find out your aims for the self build project. We take time to understand how you will use the house when it is built and what you would like to incorporate into the house build (i.e. perhaps underfloor heating). We will then compile a report covering the following:

 Build types – i.e. timber frame, masonry, Insulated Concrete Floor, etc.
 Insulation – best types and optimal levels of insulation
 A comparison of running costs for various heating systems
 Glazing and doors
 Lighting – latest low energy lighting products
 Space and Water Heating – the most efficient heating systems and controls
 Secondary heating systems – stoves, open fires, high efficiency gas fires etc.
 Ventilation – most efficient ventilation systems and dwelling air tightness
 Renewable Technologies – heat pumps, pellet boilers, solar water heating, photovoltaic panels, wind
  turbines
 Compliance with 2008 Part L Conservation of fuel and energy
 Limiting thermal bridging
 An estimate of the final Building Energy Rating

Once the report is completed, we will sit down with you once again to go through the report in detail to ensure all of the detail is clear to you. We offer continuous phone and email support throughout your house build should you have any queries in relation to the energy performance of the house,
