Sustainable Building Performance and Design

In an era of increasingly demanding sustainable performance we are able to offer specific advice to our clients on the most cost effective way of meeting these requirements and on all aspects of low carbon technologies applicable to new buildings, refurbishment projects and also very importantly planned preventative Maintenance Programmes.

Most sustainable buildings have lower running costs and effective sustainable energy solutions are a major contributor to reducing the cost of energy during the lifetime of a building. We can offer CO2 concentration measurement for occupied buildings and can use these data to demonstrate improvements to the internal environment before and after alteration and refurbishment projects or upgrading maintenance works. By ensuring that buildings are compliant with legislative requirements and are energy efficient with good carbon management Landlords can create a better working environment and improve productivity. They also offer better quality occupier health and wellbeing which makes properties more desirable to potential tenants.

At Peacock Stevens we like to promote the achievement of carbon reduction targets, look for efficiencies, comply with legal requirements and explore the possibilities for generating renewable energy.

Our partnering consultants carry out building performance assessments under internationally recognised schemes including BREEAM, LEED and Code for Sustainable Homes and also issue Energy Performance Certificates and Display Energy Certificates.

We offer full support during the planning stages of a building, reporting and advising on a range of sustainability issues, from water consumption through to material procurement.  We also write sustainability statements to help secure planning permission. We can offer an overview of building designs to ensure that materials selected help minimise waste have a low environmental impact and are responsibly sourced.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Professional and pragmatic advice from an experienced building surveying practice who we are always happy to recommend to our clients.

Peacock Stevens have continued to deliver a pro-active and professional service during the years that I have worked with them. Their communication throughout the process is excellent, delivering the projects in an efficient and timely manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending their service.

We have appointed Peacock Stevens on numerous projects ranging from retail conversions and extensions to large-scale petrol filling station developments. They have continuously delivered in terms of their professional and diligent approach, and we look forward to working with them again on future projects.

I recently used Peacock Stevens when looking to purchase a new house. In the end I instructed two surveys as the depth and quality of the report on the first property identified defects that would have meant significant costs to me, meaning I did not proceed.

I am pleased that my second choice was defect free and the quality and detail in the survey was again of the highest standard.

Peacock Stevens recently carried out an RICS Building Survey for me on a house I was looking to purchase. The report was thorough and detailed but was also easy to understand. We are very happy in our new home.

An excellent and comprehensive report and we will take heed of its findings. We are proceeding with the purchase and hopefully all will go according to plan. Thank you and with best wishes
