Our approach to PAS 2035 Retrofit Assessments
Our approach to PAS 2035 retrofit assessments is designed to be efficient, comprehensive, and minimally disruptive for residents. Here’s how we achieve this:
Integrated Services:
Due to our multi-disciplined team, we can combine multiple services into a single visit, including:
- PAS 2035 assessments
- Ventilation surveys
- Air tightness tests
- Cavity wall inspections
- Matterport scanning
- Damp and moisture readings
This integrated approach reduces the need for multiple contractors, minimises disruption for residents, and improves overall efficiency.
Archetype Assessments:
We employ archetype assessments with full-scope testing to create cost-effective design packages. This minimises the number of individual assessments required and reduces disruption for residents.
Tenant Education:
We prioritise educating tenants throughout the retrofit project:
- Initial Contact: We send a letter of engagement explaining the upcoming works and what residents can expect.
- During Booking: We provide detailed explanations of the retrofit process to ease any worries or confusion.
- Assessment Day: Our assessors engage with tenants during the assessment to ensure that they are comfortable and fully informed.
Resident Engagement:
Our commitment to resident satisfaction is evident in our Google review ratings. We have an impressive 85% success rate in gaining property entry, significantly exceeding the industry average of 50%. This engagement approach ensures a smooth process and minimises disruption.
Reporting and Data Collection:
We have developed a bespoke reporting system and data collection app that streamlines our assessment processes. This innovative tool allows for seamless data collection and comprehensive reporting, providing our clients with valuable insights and actionable information.
We are accredited with both Elmhurst and ECMK and work with PASHub. Additionally, we work on and can complete assessments using EcoSurv.
Recognition:
Our innovative approach and dedication to quality were recognised when Jack Hannon was awarded Retrofit Assessor of the Year 2023. Following this, Jack was invited to speak on a panel at Futurebuild’s 2024 National Retrofit Conference, where he presented on “Speeding Up and Improving Retrofit Assessments” – watch the presentation here.
We’ve recently been selected as a finalist for Supply Chain Partner of the Year at the Unlock Net Zero Awards. This recognition celebrates the work we do in supporting the built environment sector’s journey toward Net Zero – read more here.
