Optimised Specification for Self-Builders, Architects and Developers
Squeeze the most value from your new-build BER budget
Get a value-engineered specification that is not only compliant, but also has been optimised for cost, comfort and energy-efficiency
Building a house in Ireland in 2017 is complicated and expensive. The number of factors to be considered is mind-boggling and combing through the overwhelming number of build options and regulations can be frustrating. Add rising construction costs into the mix and building a house can start to look like a struggle.
One particular sticking point is energy performance . Part L is a complex regulation that affects every stage of a build, from building orientation right through to the choice of lighting. Therefore, a well thought-out strategy on how to achieve compliance will result in getting real value for money, especially when choosing high-cost items like insulation, windows, heating systems and renewable technologies.
