Passivhaus Trust | How much extra does Passivhaus cost?
A new research report from the Passivhaus Trust includes independent costing modelling which finds that uplift costs, compared with current building regulations, can be as little as 2% for flats, rising to 3-5% for semi-detached homes. The report also explores how experienced teams can eliminate uplift costs through early stage consideration of form factor, glazing design and simplifying building services.
Mainmark | Is Your Home at Risk of Summer Subsidence?
Warm, dry summers can increase the risk of subsidence, particularly for new builds and renovation projects built on clay-rich soils. As the ground loses moisture, it can shrink and cause foundations to shift, leading to cracks in walls, sticking doors, or uneven floors. Trees and large shrubs can worsen the issue by drawing water from the soil, while inconsistent rainfall can further destabilise the ground.
Understanding these seasonal risks early allows homeowners and developers to take preventative steps and protect long-term property value.

Bring MVHR expertise into timber frame designs
We’re pleased to announce a new partnership between Total Home Environment and Fleming Homes, bringing specialist MVHR expertise right from the start of the self-build design process.
Fleming Homes’ clients can therefore benefit from a bespoke MVHR design developed alongside their timber frame, helping to ensure ductwork and services are properly planned before construction begins. This will ensure a smoother process on site, avoiding costly changes and helping to maximise MVHR performance, as it will be designed around the individual home and the client’s needs.
