Do I need SAP calculations for my project?

SAP calculations are generally required for new-build dwellings and certain residential conversions to demonstrate compliance with Part L.

What information do you need?

We normally require architectural drawings, construction specifications, glazing details, heating information and ventilation details.

What is the difference between design-stage and as-built SAP?

The design-stage assessment checks compliance before construction, while the as-built assessment confirms the completed dwelling's final specification and energy performance.

Will I receive an EPC?

Where applicable, an Energy Performance Certificate can be produced following completion of the final SAP assessment.

Can you advise how to improve the SAP result?

Yes. Where the proposed design does not achieve compliance, practical improvements can be recommended for consideration.

Do you work with homeowners and developers?

Yes. We regularly work with homeowners, builders, architects, developers and housing associations throughout Manchester.

How long do SAP calculations take?

Timescales depend on the project complexity and quality of the information provided. Urgent requirements should be identified when requesting the quotation.

Do commercial buildings need SAP calculations?

Commercial and non-domestic buildings are generally assessed using SBEM rather than SAP. L2A and L2B SBEM services are available separately.

The Manchester development market

Greater Manchester has one of the UK's most active apartment markets, from city-centre towers to mill conversions in Salford, Stockport and Oldham, alongside new housing on the edges of the conurbation. Parts of central Manchester are high-risk locations for overheating under Part O, which affects window design on many schemes.
