What this usually entails

Rethink the way your home uses energy and make it more environmentally-friendly. Aim to create a Passive House, towards a BER A-rating. In pursuit of this objective, you can expect Nuhaus to:

• Improve wall insulation
• Improve attic & roof insulation
• Replace windows & doors
• Review airtightness
• Upgrade ventilation system
• Improve electrical wiring
• Upgrade mechanical pipework
• Install renewable energy technology

If your new space uses renewable technology, we’ll also leverage our SEAI membership to ensure that you get full access to a wide range of grants that are made available for government-backed sustainability projects.

Attic Conversion

Reclaim an underused part of your house as a luxurious new space; improve your BER rating at the same time by improving your roof insulation with an attic conversion. We can advise on every aspect of your project and, whether there are structural issues, planning applications, site surveys or standard architectural design and project management issues, we’ll take care of everything.

Garage Conversion

A garage conversion is one of the smartest property investments you can make. Many suburban garages are oversized and homeowners are delighted to see the space previously used for old paint cans and unused suitcases being put to good use as a functional room.

Simple projects of this type don’t usually require formal planning permission and access for building works is quite straightforward, but if anything does pop up, rest assured, we’ll handle it for you.

Typically, a garage conversion will involve the installation of a ground floor bathroom, utility room, study room or office but we’ve also helped homeowners with some more exciting dream projects.

Our favourites include:

• New kitchen & walkthrough (to existing house)
• Attic & roof insulation improvements
• Replace windows & doors

• Upgrade ventilation system
• Improve electrical wiring
• Upgrade mechanical pipework
• Install renewable energy technology
