01

Design-stage SAP calculations

We model the proposed dwelling using its geometry, fabric specification, thermal bridging, heating, hot water, ventilation, lighting and renewable technologies. The assessment shows whether the design meets the relevant Part L targets before construction details are fixed.

02

A practical route to a pass

Where a design falls short, we identify the measures with the greatest effect and explain the trade-offs clearly. Options may include fabric improvements, air permeability, heating efficiency, ventilation, thermal bridging and solar PV.

03

As-built SAP and final evidence

At completion, the SAP calculation is updated to reflect the building as constructed. We review product information, air-test results, commissioning details and site evidence so the final compliance reports and EPC can be produced without avoidable delay.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Clear answers.
No guesswork.

01When is a SAP calculation required?+

SAP calculations are normally required for new dwellings and residential conversions, and may also be needed for highly glazed extensions or other work where Building Control requires an area-weighted assessment.

02What information is needed?+

Typically we need scaled drawings, elevations, sections, construction U-values, glazing details, thermal-bridge information and the proposed heating, hot-water and ventilation systems.

03Can you improve a failing SAP?+

Yes. We test the most practical changes and provide a clear schedule of recommended improvements rather than simply returning a failed result.
