Things to know
- System requirements
- Some systems require specific installer arrangements or inspections. Tell us at tender so it can be planned; we don’t assume approvals we haven’t confirmed.
- Funding schemes
- If the project relies on a funding scheme, its requirements must be confirmed by the client before pricing.
- What affects the price
- Area and quantities, specification, access and working hours, programme and phasing, and how much of the work needs to be done around other trades.
- Choose a complete wall system
- EWI is not just boards with render over them. Fixings, base coats, mesh, finish and junction details must work together as the specified system. Existing damp, exposure, fire requirements, boundaries and roof overhangs can affect the design and suitability.
