Huf Haus produce high quality, iconic houses with a prefabricated, precision engineered post and beam system.
NHBC worked with the developer to provide practical advice and efficient regulatory compliance for the highly energy efficient design.
NHBC energy ratings reviewed the plans and provided the SAP and EPC, whilst the Air pressure test achieved an Air Permeability Rate of 1.8 m3/hm2, demonstrating a performance far exceeding the Building Regulations figure of 10 m3/hm2.
The NHBC Acoustics test further demonstrated the quality of the construction, with a result that would gain the maximum 4 credits for the Code for Sustainable Homes.
"We appreciated the highly efficient PEA, SAP and EPC rating service. Liaising directly with NHBC Building control has ensured a smooth process saving us both time and money."
