If you intend to construct a new building your local authority will require that you demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations Part L at the planning. This is done by producing SAP calculations (Standard Assessment Procedure), for residential properties or SBEM calculations (Simplified Building Energy Model) for commercial. In addition to this you may have to have the building air pressure tested.

On completion of the property your local authority will require an Energy Performance Certificate before they issue the completion certificate. These can only be produced by an On Construction Energy Assessor (residential) or a Non Domestic Energy Assessor (commercial).

Furthermore if you intend to market your residential properties off plan you will require a Home Information Pack. One component of the Hip is a ‘Predictive Energy Assessment’. These are produced from the SAP calculations.

Pali can provide you with all of the above, what’s more, if you are working on a residential build or conversion and we produce your initial SAP report, we will provide you with a Predictive Energy Assessment and On-Construction Energy Assessment at no extra cost. We will even provide you with the remaining elements of the Hip should you choose to market ‘off plan’ at very reasonable rates and give discounts on multiple properties being constructed on the same development.

If you are extending, converting or renovating an existing building you may have to demonstrate Part L Compliance.
We will handle it all for you, give you advice if you need it and liaise with the local authority on your behalf if necessary.
