Project Description

We are on site with a 6 bedroom new-build Passivhaus. Partly built into a hill, the house has an upside-down design with a large open plan kitchen, living and dining room on the upper floor and all bedrooms on the lower floor. The site has incredible views over the Surrey hills. We were awarded the job due to our considerable experience building Passivhaus and our attention to detail.

We have since contributed to re-designing the M&E systems to reduce costs and optimise installation. On this project we pioneered the use of a 3D model of the steel structure which we created in-house and then shared with the architect, engineer and M&E designer. A setting out engineer used this model to mark the locations of anchors for the steel structure which enable swift efficient installation.

“Bow Tie Construction were very professional, they did things to a very high standard and paid a lot of attention to detail. When small issues were flagged here or there they were always keen to investigate and fix them.”

“My projects with Bow Tie are the only ones where I’ve left the contractor to follow my airtightness details and the projects have passed the 1st airtightness test.”

“We’re expecting a dramatic reduction in costs. We now know how much energy we’ve used (in March) and we rarely have the heating on compared to this time last year in our old house.”
