Designing with Architects for the Code for Sustainable Homes

The ability of the construction industry to adapt and change with its consumers means increasing environmental awareness must drive a change in the way we design and build. It is this awareness that will put developers and contractors committed to this change in a strong position to advertise their sustainability credentials.

CSH07 and Building Regulations

Closely linked to the building regulations the minimum requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes are set above the current regulations. It is this link that signals the intended future direction of the Building Regulations in relation to the carbon emissions and energy loss in homes.

Committed to the Code, Committed to Sustainable Building

Timbertecs & the Benfield ATT Group are fully committed to the Code for Sustainable Homes and we aim to offer a minimum of Level 3 certification compliance for all of our builds unless a higher level is stipulated. Its direct link with so many aspects of construction will mean early planning and consideration is essential to a successful build.

As a design professional you will need to analyse your designs from the very earliest stages in order to ensure compliance with the Code. Timbertecs can help.

Understanding CSH07 and incorporating it into your designs

We can advise you and your clients on the design aspects needed to gain credits and the eventual code standard required.

We can assess existing drawings and specifications and draw up a complete Pre assessment Specification and Report that can be issued to all members of the project team ensuring everyone knows how to achieve the rating needed.

Let us help you through the maze of Eco, Zero, Carbon and Emissions to arrive at a beautiful, affordable, marketable Green development.
