Code for Sustainable Homes
The Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) is a wide ranging form of environmental assessment applicable to new build residential developments. The code assesses each building on a number of environmental principles. Points are awarded against each principle with an overall level between 1 and 6 given at the end of the process.
Some developers choose to use the Code as a marketing tool as even a Level 1 rating shows a significant improvement over and above Building Control minimum environemntal requirements. Overall the Code offers a standout badge of environmental stability both in the way a house has been constructeed and its ongoing environmental impact.
Other Code rated developments are driven by legislation as all publicly funded residential developments much reach Code Level 3.
FES have experience of producing large volumes of Code assessments for a range of clients. We know that our clients want each site to be assessed on its own individual merits and with no generic advice given, so this is the service that we provide.
A specific assessor is allocated to each case and will be your single point of contact for all technical matters throughout the construction process. This way the assessor gets to understand the case and your construction methods in great detail.
If you would like to know about some of the projects that we have worked on in the past or would like to see some case studies then please contact us and we will be happy to share our experiences.
The Code can be a complicated process, one which our experienced assessors and tested methodologies can help you to navigate with the minimum of fuss.
