SAP Calculations for New Dwellings

If you’re building a new home in the UK, Building Regulations require a SAP calculation for each property. We work with you to establish a compliant, cost-effective design and support you throughout design and build.

We never leave you with a fail—pragmatic, affordable adjustments to pass.

Early involvement

Appoint us early

More options, fewer changes, smoother compliance.

Involving us at concept stage gives the most options and avoids costly changes. If we join halfway through a build, improving energy performance can be limited without micro-generation.

  • Design freedom

    Optimise spec choices before Planning/Building Regs submission.

  • Fewer changes

    Avoid mid-build revisions with clear, compliant designs up front.

  • Clear pass path

    Pragmatic options to hit Part L targets without overspecifying.

Process

Two SAP stages — design & as-built

  1. Design stage

    Design Draft
    Initial SAP documentation produced alongside the design — best time to adjust specs before Planning/Building Regs.
    Design Final
    We issue a SAP report showing Building Regulations compliance and a Predicted Energy Assessment (for Building Control).
  2. As-built stage

    As Built Draft
    Tell us about any design changes during the build so we can check compliance and discuss options.
    Air Tightness Test
    The result of a test is built into the SAP calculation.
    As Built Final
    We finalise SAP and lodge the As-Built SAP Energy Performance Report and the EPC with Landmark.
