Common questions about our sustainable housing services
Eco-homes generally have a 10-15% higher initial construction cost than conventional homes of similar size. However, this investment is typically recovered within 7-10 years through significantly reduced energy and water bills. Additionally, eco-homes often command higher resale values and experience faster appreciation rates.
Absolutely. We specialize in sensitive retrofitting that preserves the historical and aesthetic character of period properties while significantly improving their energy efficiency. Our approaches include internal wall insulation, secondary glazing, underfloor insulation, and renewable heating systems that can be integrated without compromising architectural features.
The UK offers several incentives including the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), reduced VAT on energy-saving materials, and various local authority grants. The specific incentives available depend on your location and project type. Our team stays current with all available programs and will help you access all applicable incentives to maximize your investment.
Modern smart home systems are designed to be low-maintenance. Most require only periodic software updates, which often happen automatically. Physical components like sensors rarely need maintenance beyond occasional battery replacement for wireless devices. We provide comprehensive guidance on system care and offer maintenance packages for ongoing support.
The timeline varies depending on the project's complexity and size. Typically, our process includes 2-3 months for design and planning, 1-2 months for permitting, and 6-12 months for construction. While this may be slightly longer than conventional construction due to our attention to detail and sustainable practices, the result is a superior home with minimal environmental impact.
