As well as building
with materials and
techniques that
comply with building
regulations, we are
also able to include
sustainable building
materials and can use
green building
solutions within your

project if instructed to do so. We don't force these ideas
but instead we just leave it to the client to decide whether
or not to make any changes in the design.

Why? The obvious reason to consider whether to
implement green building solutions is the environment. The
better insulated your home the less CO

emissions you

produce. This in turn helps protect the Earth's limited
resources of fossil fuels and will also save you money.

The government is tackling the issue of home energy

performance by phasing in a requirement that
every home for sale has an Energy Performance
Certificate (EPC).

EPCs will detail the current energy performance of
the property, how it can be improved, how much
the improvement will cost and the annual savings
they will achieve.

ABM, explain "Once people have bought a
property they should consider energy performance
when they are deciding what home improvement
work to undertake. Improvements will not only
reduce home running costs in the short term, but
will also give the home better energy performance
in the longer term."

Authorities increasingly expect planning
applications to demonstrate Sustainable Urban
drainage Strategy (SUDS) initiatives such as rain
harvesting energy saving solutions.

The work was very well project managed and we were so impressed that ABM can

use environmentally friendly materials. We will certainly recommend to our friends
