Funding expertise
Funding routes, and what it takes to deliver against them.
Most schemes are shaped by the funding behind them: eligibility, spend profile, reporting and deadlines. We work with the funding conditions from the start rather than discovering them halfway through.
Funding routes we deliver under
- Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund
- Successor to SHDF. Bid-stage archetype sampling, cost plans and delivery programmes, then assessment, design and installation once an allocation is confirmed.
- Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund
- Wave 1, 2 and 2.1 schemes carried out as principal contractor, including mixed-tenure blocks and non-traditional archetypes requiring remedial work before insulation.
- Warm Homes: Local Grant
- Single properties referred through local authority schemes. Eligibility checked, assessment carried out, measures installed and certification lodged.
- Privately funded work
- Landlord portfolios, owner-occupiers and non-domestic buildings, costed and sequenced without a funding deadline dictating the programme.
Where an allocation is already in place
If you have secured funding but need a delivery partner, we can mobilise against the existing programme as principal contractor. We pick up the approved property list, re-check the assessments where they are out of date, and hold the spend profile you committed to.
Where a programme is running behind, we can take on a package of properties alongside an incumbent contractor rather than replacing them, which is usually the quicker way to protect an allocation.
What we do at bid stage
- Stock analysis
- Portfolio data reviewed by archetype, tenure and EPC band, so the properties put forward are the ones that will actually score and can be delivered inside the window.
- Archetype sampling
- Sample assessments across the representative property types, used to size the measure package and test the assumptions behind the cost plan.
- Cost plans
- Measure costs built from the sampled archetypes rather than a flat rate per property, including allowances for remedial work on non-traditional construction.
- Delivery programme
- A programme that matches the spend profile and defrayal dates, with the sequence set by access and scaffold rather than by property number.
- Reporting
- Monthly reporting against the funding conditions: properties assessed, measures installed, spend, lodgements and carbon savings.
