Quote first on passivhaus planning applications

The biggest wins are new dwellings designed to the standard from the first sketch: self-build family homes, replacement dwellings on rural plots and small developers building a row of low energy homes. Each one needs a main contractor, a frame, triple glazed windows, insulation, an MVHR system and an airtightness test. Find the application and you price every one of those packages while the client is still deciding who to trust.

EnerPHit retrofits put existing buildings on your books

Owners upgrading terraces, farmhouses and schools to the retrofit standard apply for external wall insulation, new windows, roof works and extensions in one go. These jobs reward the specialist who understands thermal bridges and airtight detailing where new work meets old masonry. You arrive with that knowledge before a generalist is booked.

Schemes and public buildings fill a season

Housing associations, councils and schools commission passivhaus flats, classrooms, leisure centres and offices. These applications name an agent and a design team early, which gives manufacturers and subcontractors a clear door to knock on months before procurement opens.

Component applications land you the specialist package

Descriptions that mention MVHR, airtightness, triple glazing, timber frame or heat pumps point straight at your product. A single line in a householder application tells a window maker or ventilation installer that this client wants performance, not the lowest quote. That is a job you win on expertise, and it is sitting in the description of the work the day the council publishes it.

Main contractors with passivhaus experience call the applicant or agent while the scheme is in planning, offer early contractor involvement and price from the drawings on the council record. You shape the buildability and the programme before a rival sees a tender, and the client remembers who solved their problems first.

Specialist contractors take the packages that matter most

Airtightness testers, MVHR designers and installers, and insulation and render teams track applications by keyword and contact the agent firm with a fixed offer. Getting your test or ventilation design written into the specification turns one application into a booked date in your diary.

Manufacturers and suppliers get specified early

Makers of certified windows and doors, timber frame, ICF systems and insulation send product details to the architect while the drawings are still moving. Once your product is in the energy model and the specification, the order follows the build. You win the sale at the design stage, not at the merchant counter.

Architects and consultants add the expertise the client lacks

Not every applicant has a passivhaus designer on board. Architects, energy modellers and certifiers watch for low energy home and eco home applications drawn up by general practices, then offer modelling, certification support and detailing. Thermal bridge calculations, overheating checks and site quality assurance all start here, and each one is a fee you set before anyone else has asked.

Leads emails you every new application that matches your keywords, the day councils publish it, in one email a day. Pick the whole country or up to 5 areas, each a radius of up to 75 miles from a postcode or town, or a whole council. Add passivhaus, EnerPHit, MVHR and airtightness to your keywords and your passivhaus leads arrive while the client is still choosing who to hire.

Every lead gives you what you need to make the call

• The planning reference, the council and a link to the council's own record
• The site address and the description of the work
• The application type, key dates and decision status
• The applicant, agent firm and business contact wherever the council publishes them
