Look at the building first
Age, construction, condition and previous alterations all matter. An assessment helps establish the property’s starting point and the information needed for further planning.
Share the practical issues
Tell the assessor about damp concerns, ventilation, cold rooms and heating performance. Existing reports and details of past work can be useful.
Avoid treating every measure separately
Insulation, ventilation and heating affect one another. Explain the intended outcome and any funding scheme so the appropriate assessment scope can be agreed.
Confirm the next stage
An assessment does not include installation or guarantee a funding outcome. Design, coordination and improvement works need their own instructions where required.
General preparation guidance. The appropriate scope depends on your property and instruction.
