• building_readiness

  Building Readiness assessment for change-of-use / conversion. Returns a 0-100 readiness score, project complexity, four domain scores (structural, MEP, compliance, digital/BIM) with RAG, and recommendations.

• eurocode_beam_designer

  Preliminary Eurocode beam design (steel EC3 / composite / reinforced concrete EC2). Selects a section, computes ULS bending & shear utilisation, SLS deflection, and fire protection. Indicative, not a stamped design.

• eurocode_column_checker

  Eurocode axial column buckling check (steel EC3 6.3.1 flexural buckling / RC EC2 5.8 simplified). Returns Ncr, non-dimensional slenderness, reduction factor chi, NRd and utilisation. Indicative, not a stamped design.

• eu_cost_benchmarking

  Parametric construction cost benchmark across UK/EU/GCC by country, project type, specification, procurement, programme and BIM. Returns per-m2 and total cost ranges plus a cost breakdown. Indicative parametric estimate, validate against current cost indices.

• dgnb_bim_readiness

  DGNB certification pre-score and BIM (ISO 19650) maturity self-assessment from a 20-question checklist. Returns pre-score, achievable certification level, BIM level, domain breakdown and prioritised gaps. Not a formal DGNB audit.

• contractor_vetting

  NIS2 / EPBD contractor vetting score from a 12-question checklist across financial, technical, cyber (NIS2) and energy (EPBD) categories. Flags blocking (critical) failures and returns recommended additional checks. Not a formal due-diligence report.

• digital_renovation_passport

  EPBD-style staged digital renovation passport: 3-phase roadmap (quick wins, system upgrades, deep renovation) with cost ranges, energy savings and EPC trajectory from current EPC, floor area and heating type. Indicative.

• uk_planning_checker

  UK permitted-development (GPDO 2015, England) rules engine for extensions, loft conversions and change of use. Returns a verdict (likely_pd / requires_permission / complex), applicable PD class, conditions and flags (listed building, Article 4, conservation area, AONB). Indicative, verify with the LPA.

• part_s_ev

  UK Approved Document S 2021 electric-vehicle charge-point requirement calculator for new build and major renovation, residential and non-residential. Returns required charge points, cable routes (1-in-5 for non-residential), minimum power and the applicable cost caps/exemptions. Indicative.

• part_o_overheating

  UK Approved Document O 2021 simplified-method overheating check for new residential: tests maximum glazing area (by orientation, risk zone, cross vs single aspect) and minimum free ventilation area. Returns pass/fail and points to CIBSE TM59 modelling if it fails. Indicative.

• mees_checker

  England & Wales Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard (MEES) check for private rented property. Tests against the in-force EPC E minimum (domestic and non-domestic) and surfaces the PROPOSED (not yet law) EPC C / 2030 uplift as an advisory only. Returns compliance, can-let, cost cap and penalties.

• heatpump_heatloss

  Domestic whole-dwelling fabric + ventilation heat-loss estimate for heat pump sizing (BS EN 12831 / MCS), from floor area, storeys, age band, location and glazing. Returns design heat loss (kW), recommended heat pump output, indicative SCOP and annual demand. Typical U-values/SCOP, not measured.

• eed_datacentre_pack
