STAGE 5-7 BUILD & SUPPORT

Stages 5-7 Build & Support

Continuity of our support into the build phase of your project ensures the design team, contractors and installers benefit from design stage strategy into the practical phases of the project. 

Even with a great design and installation team, guidance may still be needed to ensure that project decisions and alterations remain in line and appropriate for the sustainability goals of the project. Many eco projects have started to come unstuck and incur unnecessary cost as variations and hurdles during the build occur without proper feedback or an understanding of the energy efficiency implications upon completion.



Support at key site meetings with installers and at important project stages can be invaluable to the team and bespoke packages can be put together to support the build, commissioning and client handover stages.

The key areas we can support on a project include:

Site meetings

give confidence and peace of mind that the installation is high quality and that there are no obvious issues which may compromise the system performance. 


System commissioning and handover support

gives peace of mind for the commissioned technology and clarity for the client on how best to use the system which will result in fewer client questions or issues. 

Subsidy assistance

allows your clients to easily navigate the government application process ensuring they receive any available subsidies.

Energy monitoring

ensures you keep an eye on exactly where your energy is being used and that your building is running as efficiently as it was designed to.

At whichever stage of your project you are, drop us a line and we will be glad to support you

As we come out of our end of year hibernation period for 2023 and try to both digest and interpret what 2023 had in store for us, how we dealt with it, and what we would change if we could; we drag ourselves out into the blinding light of 2024 and hope for a less tumultuous year in the UK’s sustainable construction sector. I am an optimistic person and ‘glass half-full thinking’, as well as doing my best to gaze into the future, is my default position. When working with a team on the sharp end of sustainable building design, there are some trends which simply cannot be ignored and hold great promise for 2024. The following trends are in areas we’ve seen growing design time and client fees being spent to great effect, and that’s why these are my top four sustainable construction prediction of 2024.

In recent years, sustainability has seen a massive increase in priority within the construction industry. As climate change and its effects worsen around the world, architects, builders, and developers are now feeling more compelled to adopt more environmentally friendly practices. While pursuing sustainable building design is definitely a commendable course of action, the process itself has its own set of challenges; introducing potential risks to the construction industry that must be addressed.
