Coordinated technical support for better retrofit delivery.
AISK supports retrofit from early strategy and assessment through design, coordination, installation and completion. Our approach brings together Retrofit Coordination, technical assurance, building performance and delivery experience.
Core capability
Retrofit Coordination and risk management
Whole dwelling strategy and improvement option evaluation
Assessment and existing building information review
Retrofit design review and technical clarification
Installation readiness and technical queries
Quality, evidence and completion review
Programme level tracking and action management
Older and traditional building considerations
Building Physics and thermal junction support
Interface management across assessor, designer, coordinator and installer
Our view of Retrofit Coordination
Coordinate the retrofit, not only the paperwork.
A Retrofit Coordinator should provide active technical and programme oversight throughout delivery. The role should look ahead, identify risk before it reaches site, challenge conflicting information and keep assessment, design and installation connected.
Where the same problem is appearing across multiple properties, repeatedly correcting individual files is not enough. The programme needs to understand why the issue is recurring, who owns the action and what should change in the wider process.
Assessment and design information
Existing buildings do not always match the information captured at one point in time. Assessment notes, photographs, dimensions, site conditions and later installation evidence can conflict.
AISK reviews whether the information available is sufficient for the decision being made. Where it is not, we seek clarification, further evidence or investigation rather than allowing an unsupported assumption to become part of the design.
Building performance within retrofit
Fabric improvements change the way heat, air and moisture move through a dwelling. Where the risk justifies it, AISK can draw directly on Building Physics capability including fRSI, thermal bridge and psi value assessment, WUFI modelling, U values and condensation or moisture risk review.
Not every property needs advanced modelling. The level of analysis should reflect the construction, proposed intervention and consequence of getting the decision wrong.
Older and traditional buildings
Traditional construction should not be forced into modern building assumptions. Existing moisture movement, ventilation, material permeability, exposure and retained historic elements can materially change the appropriate retrofit strategy.
AISK's competence in energy efficiency for older and traditional buildings informs our coordination and technical review. Where heritage or specialist conservation input is required, we identify that requirement rather than extending our scope beyond competence.
Programme delivery
Multi property programmes need enough consistency to operate efficiently without losing the ability to respond to genuine property specific conditions. AISK can support shared trackers, action ownership, technical review routes, property exceptions, first installation learning and multidisciplinary coordination so recurring issues become visible at programme level.
Relevant experience
Experience connected to the service.
Full case studies sit within Experience. These short examples show how the capability has been applied in practice.
120+ retrofit projects / lodgements
Experience includes Retrofit Coordination, design and assessment review, EWI, IWI, loft insulation, ventilation, technical queries, evidence review and delivery across occupied domestic and social housing.
RA, RD, RC and installer interfaces
Where assessment, design and installation information was being managed through disconnected routes, shared property trackers, clearer action ownership and multidisciplinary review meetings improved visibility of blockers and supported earlier closure of technical issues.
Listed and traditional homes in Hertfordshire
On older and listed properties, protected elements and heritage constraints were identified before standard retrofit work was allowed to progress. Additional conservation input was requested where required.
