Assessments for EcoHomes and The Code for Sustainable Developments are required on all social or mixed use developments where the Housing Association are being funded by the Housing Corporation. EcoHomes ensures a standard of build to protect the environment, reduce energy bills and promote the wellbeing of residents.

It is vital to begin the EcoHomes process at the planning stage to avoid costly repercussions and potentially the loss of funding.

Both EcoHomes and The Code are time consuming quality controls which, under BRE regulations, include the location and ecology of the site, security, structural design, sourcing of materials, energy and water conservation, on-site working practices and landscaping.

TDC can provide comprehensive advice throughout the development and collect supporting evidence going on to produce a calculated interim report and final assessment for certification by the BRE. This service is often provided alongside in-house working drawings so that full information is at our disposal without significant disruption to the Client. Working drawings can then be carried out to incorporate the necessary CSH and EcoHomes specifications.
