If you’re thinking of a retrofit journey to renovate your home, CAfS offers a range of support services to guide you through it.

That could be upgrading the structure of your building (its fabric), its ventilation, the heating systems, or all three. We highly recommend going through the five stages from ideas and research, to design, implementation and quality checking at the end.

What steps are involved in the retrofit journey?

1. Starting out

The first step is doing your research and gathering your ideas on what you want to achieve.

2. Making a plan

Next, consider the options that are right for your property and budgetYou can then decide which options you’ll go for and plan the works.

3. Design and contracting

Next, your choices and any initial findings will guide the design process, creating a clear set of requirements to help you hire contractors.

4. On site

This is the exciting but challenging phase when work gets under way.

5. Evaluation and handover

In this final but crucial stage you’ll need to collate all the relevant documentation. It’s a chance to evaluate your project and consider whether it has met the requirements that you identified at the outset.
