Services

All services, in one place.

52 services in two groups: work for building projects and checks for properties already in use. The 4 survey services appear in both groups. Search by name or by the words on the request you have received.

  • Energy and SAP calculations

    Design-stage and as-built SAP calculations for new and converted homes, with the EPC lodged at completion.

    Part L
  • SBEM and BRUKL calculations

    Energy compliance calculations for new buildings other than homes, and some extensions, with the BRUKL output report.

    Part L
  • Energy statements

    Energy and carbon statements for planning applications, written to the local plan policy that applies.

    Planning
  • Overheating assessments

    Simplified method or dynamic modelling to show new homes and other new residential buildings limit overheating in summer.

    Part O
  • U-value calculations

    Heat-loss calculations for walls, floors and roofs, so the specification can be checked before build.

    Part L
  • Thermal bridging and psi-values

    Junction calculations that replace default values in SAP and can improve the result.

    Part L
  • Overglazed extension calculations

    Calculations showing an extension with generous glazing still meets the energy standard.

    Part L
  • Part L evidence support

    Photographic evidence and the BREL report, gathered during the build and issued at completion.

    Part L
  • Sustainability statements

    Statements covering energy, water, materials and waste for planning submissions.

    Planning
  • BREEAM assessment support

    Support through BREEAM pre-assessment, design and post-construction stages.

    Planning
  • Daylight and sunlight assessments

    Daylight to new rooms, and the effect of a scheme on neighbouring properties.

    Planning
  • Water efficiency calculations

    Calculations showing new homes meet the water use limit: 125 litres per person per day, or 110 where a planning condition requires it.

    Part G
  • Sound testing

    Pre-completion airborne and impact sound tests between new or converted homes. New homes built to registered Robust Details can use that route instead, subject to the scheme conditions.

    Part E
  • Air tightness testing

    Pressure testing to measure air leakage against the design target, with a certificate for building control.

    Part L
  • Ventilation testing

    Airflow measurement of extract fans and ventilation systems, with commissioning records for building control.

    Part F
  • MVHR commissioning and balancing

    Setting up and balancing whole-house heat recovery systems to the design flow rates.

    Part F
  • Air leakage diagnostics

    Finding where air escapes after a failed or borderline test, so it can be sealed before a retest.

    Part L
  • Building thermography

    Thermal imaging surveys that show heat loss, missing insulation and cold bridges.

    Diagnostics
  • Passive House airtightness testing

    Testing to the Passivhaus method and limit, including intermediate tests during construction.

    Passivhaus
  • Background ventilation checks

    Checks of trickle vents and other background ventilators against the ventilation design and Approved Document F.

    Part F
  • Smoke shaft leakage testing

    Leakage testing of smoke shafts in residential blocks against the criteria in the smoke control design specification.

    Part B
  • Building Regulations applications

    Preparing and managing your Building Regulations application through the route that suits the project: the local authority, a registered building control approver, or the Building Safety Regulator for higher-risk buildings.

    Approvals
  • Building Regulations drawings and plan review

    Technical drawings and specifications, or a review of your architect’s drawings against the Approved Documents.

    Approvals
  • Structural calculations

    Calculations for beams, openings, lofts and new structures, ready for building control.

    Part A
  • Fire strategy and design advice

    Means of escape, compartmentation and fire strategy reports for new and altered buildings.

    Part B
  • Drainage design and applications

    Foul and surface water design, soakaway calculations and build-over applications.

    Part H
  • Access and inclusive design review

    Approach, entrances and facilities reviewed against Part M and the access standard required.

    Part M
  • Ventilation design

    Ventilation strategies and system design to meet Part F before work starts.

    Part F
  • Acoustic design and remedial advice

    Separating wall and floor details, and remedial advice after a failed sound test.

    Part E
  • Principal designer (Building Regulations)

    Principal Designer services for Building Regulations compliance, managed through one point of contact. Building Regulations and CDM 2015 Principal Designer roles are separate. Your quotation confirms which role is included.

    Dutyholder
  • Regularisation support

    Preparing a regularisation application for work carried out without Building Regulations approval. Applications go to the local authority, or to the Building Safety Regulator for higher-risk buildings, never to a registered building control approver. Approval is not guaranteed, and opening up or alterations may be needed.

    Approvals
  • Completion evidence and handover

    Gathering the certificates, test results and statements building control needs before it can issue a completion or final certificate.

    Approvals
  • Measured building surveys

    Accurate existing floor plans, elevations and sections as a base for design work.

    Surveys
  • Floor plans

    Clear, measured floor plans for sales, lettings and marketing.

    Plans
  • Lease plans

    Lease plans prepared to HM Land Registry requirements for new leases and lease extensions.

    Land Registry
  • CCTV drainage surveys

    Camera surveys of existing drains before design, purchase or a build-over application.
