We provide advice and support to help you understand the impact your project has on the environment and how you can achieve your sustainability goals.

At Construction Assessments and Surveys we realised a long time ago that setting ourselves the goal of being the leader in sustainability design in construction was the path we needed to tread. We are founded by architects and PassivHouse certified professionals, we are not just energy assessors, our broad understanding of construction means that we can bring huge value to your project.  Our specialist advise includes:

-            Design advise

-            Building regulation compliance support

-            Energy efficiency review

-            Passiv House design advice [PHPP]

-            Simulation modelling

You can utilise our diverse expertise to ensure a smooth and efficient design process on your project.  By focusing on sustainable design principles early, we aim to reduce operating costs in a way that’s both cost-effective and practical.

In today’s construction industry, integrating sustainability is not just a trend but a necessity. Our consultancy services are designed to help your projects minimize their environmental impact while maximizing efficiency and cost savings. We assess the carbon footprint of your construction activities and provide tailored strategies to reduce emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and comply with environmental regulations. By adopting sustainable practices, you can not only contribute to a healthier planet but also improve your project’s marketability and long-term viability. 

The construction industry faces several sustainability challenges, including:

1. Resource Consumption: The industry is a major consumer of natural resources like water, timber, and minerals, leading to depletion and environmental degradation.

2. Waste Management: Construction activities generate significant waste, much of which ends up in landfills. Effective recycling and waste reduction practices are often lacking.

3. Energy Use: High energy consumption during construction and the lifecycle of buildings contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Implementing energy-efficient technologies can be challenging.

4. Pollution: Construction sites can cause air, water, and soil pollution through dust, chemicals, and runoff, impacting local ecosystems and communities.

5. Regulatory Compliance: Navigating and adhering to various environmental regulations can be complex and costly, especially for smaller firms.

6. Sustainable Materials: Finding and using sustainable building materials that meet performance standards and are cost-effective can be difficult.

7. Climate Resilience: Designing buildings that can withstand climate change impacts, such as extreme weather events, requires innovative approaches and additional investment.

Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive approach, combining innovative technologies, sustainable practices, and regulatory compliance.

Let us guide you in creating buildings that are not only structurally sound but also environmentally responsible.
