Enkelt: Norwegian for "simple". Simple living is our Scandinavian inspired design for energy efficient buildings, using sustainable local materials where possible.

 

As a construction firm, we challenged ourselves to make green living normal, to make green homes look and cost the same as the conventional homes being built today.

 

Our solution was to embrace modern methods of construction, combine urban style and passive standards without compromise.  

While everyone else was talking about it, we proved it could be done, - we built them...

 

The result is award winning affordable, aspirational and contemporary homes, built to passive s tandards that appeal to everyone and cost the same as traditional builds.

 

These can be designed by your architect and building contractor to be suitable for either social or private homes, these techniques are also suitable for commercial and public buildings, such as offices and schools.

 

Our technique uses the Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) as the basis for the air-tight inner living envelope - a highly efficient structure that can be clad in a variety of normal exterior walls. Space heating is reduced by at least 90%.

 

We are now working to establish a state of the art SIP manufacturing facility that will provide  panels to the construction industry.

 

We are currently working with Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Development International, BRE and representatives of some of Scotland's leading universities to design, equip and operate a large scale facility in Scotland with a production target of 900 homes per annum.

As we specialise in off-site manufacture of the SIP envelope, the final build cost is optimised, and delays due to unpredictable weather and site issues are minimised.

 

We all know that the Government is committed to "achieve a zero carbon goal in three steps: moving first, in 2010 to a 25 per cent improvement in the energy/carbon performance set in Building Regulations; then second, in 2013, to a 44 per cent improvement; then, finally in 2016, to zero carbon." -  Building a Greener Future: policy statement (PDF, 268kb)

 

Our long term goals include supporting the existing timber frame industry with an energy efficient SIP panel solution that will enable these established companies to meet the building regulations for the future.
