Code Consultancy Services

All organisations who have activities and policies relating to the code for sustainable homes may need advice on the code from time to time. Local authorities, housing associations, industry associations and private companies in the house building sector, will all need expert input from time to time, to inform changes and decisions.

We offer an ad-hoc service for those who only need to access advice from time to time and a more comprehensive service for organisations who need a more structured pro-active service to advise on issues as they arise and on a periodic basis.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs in more detail.

Building Products Positioning against the Code

For companies supplying products and services to the new build housing market, the Code for Sustainable Homes is a major opportunity or threat.

Code Consultancy services is run by professionals with backgrounds in construction, building products and marketing and we have designed a number of packages to help you align your products with the Code for Sustainable homes.

Our basic package, reviews your products, literature and marketing materials and highlights areas which can be aligned with the code. We produce an independent report, describing how your product can gain credits/help to gain credits as part of a Code rating. This can be used in marketing campaigns, as a definitive reference for staff or to give to clients.

If you have already tackled the Code and incorporated it into your literature and sales materials, you may need our update service to keep you informed of the changes every 6 months and how this might affect your market.

You may want training for your staff, to better understand the relevant sections of the code and be available to confidently answer queries from customers, so that your company's reputation is enhanced.

Please contact us to discuss your needs and how we might be able to assist.

 Code for Sustainable Homes Coaching & Mentoring Service

We offer a professional Coaching and Mentoring service to code assessors and others who need to understand and interpret the code.

Many architect practices, contractors and consultancy firms only have one licensed assessor, who needs support from time to time. An assessor can come across developments and situations which are difficult to deal with and it is an enormous help to be able to discuss an issue with a mentor who is experienced in the industry and knows the code back to front. Other organisations have staff who need to understand the code as part of their job, but don't have time to become experts - our mentoring service can help to provide the right support, when it is needed.

Please contact us to discuss your needs and we can give you more details about our mentoring service.
