Your route to Project Success
Survey
- Site investigation
- Desk top inspection
- Historic Maps
- Planning Records, Listed Building List
- Building Regulation Records
Development control: Planning
- Any obligations
- Any restrictions
- Keep records and pass batten to designer
Educating yourself
- Environmental Issues
- Building Physics
- Construction options
- Material choices
- Number crunching
- Don’t believe everything you are told
- Do your own joined up thinking
- Ask an Expert for second opinion
Selecting your designer
- Find designer that matches your aspirations: Green or Violet?
- Green
- Green Register of Construction Professionals
- Association of Environment Conscious Building
- Passivhaus Accredited designer
- EnerPHit Accredited designer
- SPAB (Historic Conservation Designer)
- ACAN Architects Climate Action network
- Architects Declare
- Violet (usually but not always, getting better):
- RIBA Architect
- CIAT Technician
- RICS Surveyor
- Green
Briefing process
- Clients are not good at doing this for first or only time
- Architects are not good at doing this, after many clients
- Architects need to be stop complaining clients are bad at briefing and engage with process
- Inform and invite
- Interior designers: are they any better? Not sure
Set your budget
- Essential to help the design process
- Your Ambition
- Absolute limit
- Upfront costs
- In use costs
- Get your designer’s commitment to work to them and emphasise your reliance upon them
Prioritise your ambitions:
- critical, essential, desirable,
- nice to have, don’t mind if we don’t
- Agree client and designers priorities: Planetary boundaries, Competency
- Set targets: Regulations, Design Standards, Campaigns
- Decide on critical issues: Energy efficiency, minimising carbon, indoor healthy conditions
- Decide any other issues: Resourcefulness, Appropriate, Effectiveness
Manufacturers and Suppliers
- Costs
- Competency: ‘Proper materials’ kitemark and BBA Agrement Certificate
- Availability
- Appropriate Application, approved installers or self-builders
- Guarantees, Warranties and limitations
- Regulation Competency
- Manufacturers Recommendation
Installers
- Manufacturer Approved
- Green or Violet Installers
- Costs
Design review
- Understand what you are being offered
- Does it meet your brief? All of it?
Understand plans if you can,
- if not what are alternatives?
- Sectional Perspectives, 3D view
- Models
- Computer walk- or fly-through
Development control: Regulations
- Competency
Samples review
- Do make use of them
- Small samples might not reflect variability in natural materials
- Decide materials, colours, gloss level, textures, translucency, etc
- Be aware samples don’t always reflect installation
Sign off and ring fence design
- Or be prepared to pay over odds for changes from now onwards
- Be responsible for waste due to late decisions
Selecting your constructor
- Find constructor that matches your aspirations: Green Or Violet?
- Green or violet pricing
- The Green Register of Construction Professionals
- Association of Environment Conscious Building
- Passivhaus experienced constructor
- EnerPHit experienced constructor

24 Sustainable Development Goals
- The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
- The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
- Countries have committed to prioritize progress for those who’re furthest behind. The SDGs are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls.
- The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.
