Assessment procedure & added value
Prior to appointment:
- Free web based consultation during the quotation stage
After appointment:
- We liaise directly with the Client, design team, Building Control and Planning Officers to agree environmental performance targets and assessment strategies required on your project.
- We create computer generated 3d building models at any RIBA Stage, although testing from concept “sketch” stage onwards offers the maximum added value.
- We provide a ‘shopping list' of options and innovative trade-offs to establish the optimum building performance design solutions.
- We offer a post Planning and Building Control Application technical support service which often includes a degree of ‘technical negotiation' to help secure the relevant approval
- Our latest service allows our clients to outsource the time consuming process of searching and comparing the global marketplace for MCS Approved micro-generation products to our expert in house team, who have been specifying and buying energy related products for over 25 years.
