Our Standards

The Dartside development standard.

Every project is delivered against a consistent specification — judged on the things that determine real, long-term value.

Structure

Substructure, structural openings and load paths assessed and detailed before any finishing trades start on site.

Targeted fabric-first upgrades — wall, roof and floor — designed to suit the building and avoid moisture risk.

Air-source heat pumps as standard, sized and zoned correctly, supported by solar PV and battery storage where viable.

Restrained material palette, durable specifications, considered detailing — designed to age well.

Specifications selected for long-term performance and low maintenance burden, not short-term cosmetic appeal.

Building Regulations, planning, listed building consent and warranty requirements coordinated from day one.
