Advisory Consultancy Services – Mini Visit

Do you want advice on how to build your own eco house or office? Or want to make your current property more self-sufficient in energy use? Does autonomous housing interests you?

Our advisory services give you access both to our technical expertise and our real-life experience of designing, building and living in eco homes, as set out in our portfolio.

We can help you if you want to…

  • build your own autonomous / eco home or commercial building
  • improve the energy efficiency of an existing building
  • monitor the energy use by one or more homes
  • install self-sufficient, or autonomous, systems for energy for small and medium scale developments
  • use graphic design services to support the development of sustainable buildings or illustrate publications relating to sustainable development.

Often people wanting to employ us for advisory services like to come around Hockerton Housing Project for a mini visit lasting about 2 hours. This can be arranged on request. Please fill out the enquiry form below to find out how we can help.

    What others say

    Thank you very much for a really useful day. We have already had lots of theoretical information and advice as we seek to progress our project but at Hockerton we got exactly what we wanted – warts and all from somebody who has actually done it.
