new build

Building your own home can be an exciting and fulfilling project. Incorporating low energy measures into a new build is beautifully simple compared to a renovation. As well as this, by 2016, all new builds will have be zero carbon. Why not get in ahead of the times and keep your bills down at the same time?

greentomatoenergy specialises in passivhaus design and building techniques. The passivhaus code surpasses all energy standards for new builds in the UK and doesn’t result in huge additional capital costs.

If all this sounds like too much, we can also help you build an extremely energy efficient house without going the whole hog. Our building experience means we can help you with every aspect of design, engineering and completion of your project.

Our houses are built from structural, insulated timber panels, or SIPs. The benefits of these are both environmental and economical:

• a very low carbon footprint - all wood is sourced from sustainable forests.
• easy to build - your building can be erected in a matter of weeks.
• very clean buildings - no dust from bricks or concrete.
• insulation is incorporated in the walls - no loss of space in your building.
• easily designed to any specification - build your home as you want it.
• walls and roofs are built off site and delivered in one piece - no bricks and sand lying around.
• comparable prices to a normal new build at a fraction of the running costs.
