Design-stage and as-built assessment, with practical input where the specification needs to change.

Energy model and residential drawings being reviewed for a SAP calculation

Overview

A SAP assessment models the energy performance of a dwelling and is used to demonstrate the applicable Part L requirements. The useful part is not simply the result: it is understanding which parts of the design are driving it, and resolving them without losing sight of buildability, cost or architectural intent.

Good to know

Project requirements vary by building type, location and timing. Send us the project information and we will confirm the right assessment route before providing a quotation.

Particularly useful for

  • New dwellings and applicable conversions
  • Single homes and small residential developments
  • Design-stage checks before specifications are fixed
  • As-built assessment and coordination of final evidence

Our approach

  1. 01

    Review drawings, specifications and project stage

  2. 02

    Model fabric, glazing, junctions, services, ventilation and renewables as applicable

  3. 03

    Explain any shortfall and compare proportionate design responses

  4. 04

    Coordinate amendments and issue the relevant calculation outputs

What is included

The assessment scope is agreed around your project stage: design-stage SAP calculations, a review of any performance shortfalls, and the relevant reports for the design team and Building Control. As-built assessment and new-build EPC lodgement can be included where required; your quotation will identify which stages are covered.

Information to send

Send dimensioned plans, elevations and sections, the site location and orientation, and your proposed fabric and services specification. Include window and door data, heating and hot water, ventilation, renewables and junction details where available. For completion work, also provide the final specification and available test and construction evidence.

Scope, fees and timing

Commission the design assessment while the specification can still change. If you need an extension calculation or have inherited a design-stage assessment from another consultant, include the existing information so we can confirm the appropriate route and any additional work. Fee and programme depend on dwelling types, information quality and the stages required.

Based in Lincolnshire, we support architects, builders, developers and homeowners across the county and throughout England. Most calculation-led work can be reviewed from suitable digital drawings. Send the project location, stage and required date so we can confirm the scope, fee and programme before you instruct us.
