Energy Advice and Design Services
We have years of experience in providing bespoke sustainable solutions for our clients. So you can arrive at an informed opinion on the correct system to install in your home or commercial premises, we offer a full range of technical consultancy services.
Typically, clients engage Air Craft early on during the planning application stage. Assistance can be provided with heating and cooling load assessments, SAP calculations and the provision of project management services for the M&E aspects of the build. Any fees charged for this work are deducted from the overall value of the project if Air Craft is awarded the contract to install the required systems.
End to end service
Air Craft can take you on a complete journey. From initial concept of the design aspirations to full implementation and commissioning. We provide our clients great value and a far less complicated project than the hiring of individual providers of particular project elements.
