Eco Build

Building sustainably is not just about doing what’s best for the environment.

Buildings that are built to a high standard of sustainability create a healthier environment for their inhabitants and with the new SIP coding system; sustainability is increasingly becoming a selling point.

Eco builds that incorporate design features such as high quality insulation, triple glazing and heat exchange technology where you ventilate, can end up with very nominal heating requirements.
In addition to this, there are very exciting technologies on the market for domestic renewable energy systems such as solar hot water, solar power and ground or air source heat pumps. These systems can eliminate running costs so once they have paid off the cost of the initial investment they make eco building a very attractive financial investment.

Although we could never vouch for any government initiative, current government incentives for installing such technologies are very generous at present –

We are proud to be able to offer assistance to clients that wish to explore eco build options that may be appropriate to their project and budget.
