I have said it before, but this time it really hurts to say it again. I have just had to tell a developer that they will have to spend upwards of £7,000 per property to fix an issue that 'saved' them £150 per plot. With 4 dwellings, we are talking £28,000 of fixing before they are even allowed to occupy.
Please get your design stage SAP's done prior to the build starting. There are so many rules and regulations changing all the time that it is not worth it.
The developer in question put electric heating units in throughout the house, and because of this 'savings' over conventional plumbed in radiators or even underfloor heating, he now has to install a either a geothermal heat pump, solar panels or plumb in the radiators in a finished house ... not a pleasant position to be in.
For more information or to book a test, call me on 01484 686649 or visit my website on http://www.hometestingyorkshire.co.uk/
I hope this helps
Matt
