    Following receipt of the BER and Technical assessment reports from the independent assessor, we will prepare a budget forecast for the works. This will include the energy upgrade recommendations, together with all the associated construction works to facilitate your home upgrade. At this point, you will be made aware of the SEAI grants your project will benefit from. We will work with you to develop the project plan and confirm the scope of works to meet your budget.
