EnerPHit House Build Progress

This energy efficient major house remodel continues it's self build with a unique approach to it's bay window construction.

Site Progress

We are excited to share details of an ongoing EnerPHit project that exemplifies innovative design and self-build ingenuity.

This transformative project includes a full-width rear extension, a rear dormer roof extension as well as a complete remodel of the inside of the house, creating additional space and improving the energy efficiency of the property to meet the EnerPHit standard.

3D Printing Parts To A Building

A unique aspect of this project is the client’s hands-on approach to construction. Demonstrating exceptional creativity, the client has utilized 3D-printed cast moulds to produce bespoke bay window cills and mullions.

This innovative technique not only adds a personal touch to the build but also enhances the architectural detailing, aligning with the project’s commitment to quality and precision.

EnerPHit Standard On A House Remodel

Achieving the high energy efficiency standards required for EnerPHit has been a key focus throughout the design and construction process.

The project incorporates very high levels of insulation and airtightness, including the use of thermal load-bearing blocks to eliminate thermal cold-bridging.

These measures, combined with careful detailing, aiming to reduce the energy consumption of the finished building to approximately 15% of a typical new build house.

Maximizing The Size Of Extensions With Permitted Development And Planning Permission

To maximize the extension potential, we employed a combination of planning permission and permitted development rights. This strategic approach allowed us to expand the property significantly while adhering to local regulations.

Additionally, as the site is located in a flood zone, the design incorporated robust flood protection measures to safeguard the property without compromising on functionality or aesthetics.

What's The Next Steps?

The client will continue with his self build on the interior of the house before moving onto the rear extension and roof dormer. 

As more progress is made we'll be sure to post again with new progress photos.
