Whether you’re building a new house, an extension or converting an existing property we are here to help with your SAP Calculations. We understand that it can seem like a complex process but we make it as straightforward and easy as possible. We will guide you through each step to make sure that your project is compliant and provide you will all the documents you require to satisfy building control. SAP Assessments can only be carried out by On Construction Domestic Energy Assessors (OCDEAs).
SAP Calculations for New Build
All new dwellings must now have a SAP calculation performed in order to demonstrate compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations. In addition to the SAP Assessment we will also produce the following documents at the relevant stages of the build:
- Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA) – at the design stage of the proposed development. This will allow you to market the property before the it is complete.
- On Construction Energy Performance Certificate (OCEPC) – once the build has been complete we will produce the final EPC.
- U value Calculations – we will provide these calculations to prove that the walls, floors and roofs meet or exceed the required specifications.
Cost
Single Dwelling: £100 (includes SAP Assessment, PEA and U value calculations
OCEPC: £35
For projects of multiple dwellings, please contact us for a quote.
SAP Assessments for Extensions
If you build an extension where the glazing is over 25% of the floor area, then we can undertake a SAP assessment to demonstrate Part L compliance.
We will provide a SAP Assessment that will show that the CO2 emissions for the current dwelling and the proposed extension is no greater than the current dwelling with a notional extension built to the standards required in the Approved Document L1B.
Cost: £150
SAP Assessments for Conversions
If you renovate a building such that there has been a material change in use, then we can undertake a SAP assessment which will demonstrate Part L compliance. We will also produce an EPC upon completion of the conversion.
Cost: £120
EPC: £35
