We have all now seen or read about eco home projects that have set new records for sustainability, or more worryingly, just reinvented the wheel for the 100th time on TV, but how often have you even been told about the budget?
The answer will be ‘not often’ and the reason is because most developers are still in the first wave of eco homes for point scoring where cost is not an issue, and not for an economically viable mass market role out.
Hitting the higher Code Levels of 3 and above is not easy, but it gets a lot harder when there’s a budget to work to and a financial return to consider. This is why the really important work on sustainability has happened within the affordable housing market, where for the past three years, innovation tempered by budget constraints has focussed minds like nowhere else.
With the introduction of Code 3 for all domestic new build arriving in October 2010, it’s time to stop experimenting and start looking at best practice solutions.
For our design team sustainability is second nature, which allows us to concentrate on your other requirements without you having to worry about compliance.
