'Green' building services
There is a growing need for people to develop 'green' construction projects. This is especially true for voluntary and community groups in Wales. We specialise in sustainable construction projects where we bring a great deal of knowledge and expertise with regard to eco-building. These services include the creation of business plans, community consultation services, feasibility studies and sustainable architectural services (in partnership with local architects).
Unlike many other professional building companies Rounded Developments Enterprises will talk your language. We have extensive knowledge and experience in the voluntary sector and hence know the importance of social considerations as well as economic and environmental ones. We are fully committed to creating designs that work for you and the environment. This balance is often overlooked by others, but we pride ourselves on making buildings work on all fronts. This triple bottom line is so important and so we only work with others who understand this and are also committed.
Rounded Developments Enterprises will be able to take your project through from conception to completion in partnership with your organisation. We believe in empowering groups to make their own informed decisions and taking people through the process rather than imposing it. This way you will get what you want and also understand the way that the building works, hence allowing you to use it most efficiently and effectively.
We have worked on a number of projects that will testify to our work including:
- Nantyffyllon Rugby Club - feasibility study
- Cathays Community Centre - community consultation
- Daerwynno Outdoor Centre - design of extension to centre and report on renewable energy generation
Zero Carbon Building
Rounded Developments Enterprises is developing a new service for zero-carbon building in line with the Welsh Assembly Government's target for zero-carbon by 2011. This is a process will be based around the Passiv Haus model. It will allows us to calculate thermal loads and the performance of buildings based on their plans and their location. This is an essential piece of knowledge when constructing any building. Will it overheat? What size boiler will they require for heating and hot water? How can you change the plans to minimise the heating requirement? etc. This knowledge will allow groups and individuals to minimise the amount of energy required to run the building.
So if you are looking to create a Zero-Carbon building we can provide you with the information required to do so.
