Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
An EPC provides a rating of a building’s energy efficiency. It is required when a property is built, sold, or rented in the UK and EU nations, helping guide energy-saving improvements.
Get a QuoteWhat Information Does an EPC Include?
An EPC evaluates a building’s energy performance and provides practical recommendations for improvement. Key elements include:
- Energy Efficiency Rating – Graded from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
- Estimated Energy Costs – Shows potential savings if energy efficiency upgrades are implemented.
- Carbon Emissions – Measures the environmental impact of the building.
- Recommendations – Suggests improvements such as insulation, glazing upgrades, or renewable energy systems.
Why EPCs Are Important
- Helps buyers, tenants, and owners understand the energy efficiency of a property.
- Encourages sustainable building improvements and energy savings.
- Often required for planning applications and compliance with energy regulations.

What is an On Construction EPC?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement for all buildings when selling or renting out. It rates a property on a scale from A to G. An “A” rating means the building is very efficient. A “G” rating means it uses too much energy.
All new and converted dwellings must have an On Construction EPC upon completion. It is produced from the architectural design drawings using the full SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) and must be provided to Building Control. You cannot wait until the building is finished to think about energy. By then, it is often too late or too expensive to fix mistakes.
How Our Services Help You
We join your project early to save you time and money. Here is how we support your construction goals:
- Design Stage: We review the architectural plans and construction specification to produce the initial SAP calculations. We suggest the best materials and heating systems.
- Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA): Using the design stage SAP calculations a PEA is issued. This document provides an early indication of the energy performance.
- As built stage: Upon completion of construction, the assessor verifies that the building has been built in accordance with the specifications and carries out the final SAP calculation, incorporating results from mandatory tests such as air tightness testing.
- Final Certificate: Based on the As Built stage SAP calculations the final EPC is generated and officially lodged on the EPC register. We help you reach at least “B” or “C” rating now so you don’t have to upgrade later.
Securing an On Construction EPC ensures your property is legally compliant before it is sold or let. We use government approved software to calculate your building’s energy use. Our team handles the data so you can focus on the build. We provide the final certificate quickly once the work is done. Obtaining an On Construction EPC is the final step in your building energy journey.
