💚 World Mental Health Day

Today is an important reminder that mental health matters, in the workplace, at home and in every part of our lives.

In an industry where deadlines, demanding projects and busy schedules can bring added pressure, taking the time to check in with ourselves and those around us is important.

Sometimes, a simple conversation can make a real difference.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re encouraging everyone to take a moment, check in with a colleague, friend or family member and remember that it’s okay to ask for support when you need it.

Let’s continue creating workplaces where people feel comfortable speaking openly about mental health and looking out for one another.

How early should you get a SAP calculation done?

Ideally, before your specification is locked in and construction begins. An early SAP calculation can help establish whether the proposed combination of insulation, glazing, heating and other elements of the design is on track to meet the relevant energy-performance requirements.

If an issue is identified while you're still designing, there's an opportunity to review the specification and make informed changes.

Discovering the same issue once materials have been ordered or work has started on site can mean additional cost, redesign and potential delays.

Our advice? SAP first. Spade second.

Bring energy performance into the conversation early and make compliance part of the design process, rather than something to resolve at the end.

What practical things can you do to improve your project's sustainability credentials? Sustainability doesn't always have to mean adding expensive technology or significantly increasing the project budget.

Some of the most effective measures can start with relatively straightforward design decisions:

🏠 Fabric first – good insulation and an efficient building envelope can reduce energy demand from the outset.

💧 Water efficiency – measures such as low-flow taps and dual-flush toilets can provide simple, measurable improvements.

🌿 Biodiversity – native planting, green roofs and appropriately specified habitat features can contribute towards biodiversity objectives.

🏗️ Materials – considering locally sourced and lower-embodied-carbon materials can help reduce a project's wider environmental impact.

The key is to consider these measures early enough to integrate them into the design, rather than treating sustainability as something to add later. Better sustainability credentials don't necessarily require a bigger budget, sometimes they require better decisions at the right stage of the project.

🌱 Top Tip Tuesday: Think beyond the compliance certificate.

Good building compliance doesn't just help you achieve sign-off, it can contribute to better environmental performance too.

Getting areas such as insulation, airtightness and energy performance right can help reduce unnecessary heat loss, lower energy demand and ultimately reduce carbon emissions.

For developers and project teams, considering these requirements early means you're not simply designing to pass, you're helping create more efficient, better-performing buildings for the long term.

Compliance and sustainability should work hand in hand.

🏗️ Working together to deliver quality at scale.

We're proud to be working with London Square across a number of significant developments, supporting their teams with our building compliance expertise throughout the project lifecycle.

From early-stage assessments and calculations through to on-site testing and completion, our focus is on making the compliance process as straightforward as possible and helping keep projects moving.

Working across multiple large-scale schemes gives our team the opportunity to build strong relationships with technical and delivery teams, understand project requirements and provide consistent support from design through to handover.

We're looking forward to continuing our work with London Square and sharing more from the projects we're supporting over the coming months.

Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur to all those observing.

As Yom Kippur begins this evening, we extend our warmest wishes to the Jewish community marking this important and sacred day.

A time for reflection, prayer and renewal, Yom Kippur offers an opportunity to pause, reflect on the year gone by and look ahead with hope and purpose.

May all those observing have an easy and meaningful fast.

G’mar Chatima Tova.

🌡️ What makes a building more likely to fail an overheating assessment?

Overheating risk can often be traced back to decisions made early in the design process.

Some of the most common factors include large areas of south-facing glazing without adequate shading, limited natural ventilation and dark roof materials, particularly for top-floor apartments. Open-plan layouts can also make managing internal temperatures more challenging.

The good news is that many of these issues can be addressed before construction begins.

Solutions such as external shading, solar-control glazing and improved cross-ventilation can significantly reduce overheating risk and help turn a potentially non-compliant design into a compliant one.

That's why carrying out overheating assessments early matters. Identifying potential problems at design stage gives project teams more options to make practical changes, before they become expensive changes on site.

A great evening celebrating The Hill Group’s supply chain.

Last week, members of the JosTec team had the pleasure of attending Created by Hill Supply Chain Awards, an evening dedicated to recognising and thanking the businesses and teams that contribute to the delivery of Hill’s projects.

As a proud member of Hill’s supply chain, it was fantastic to come together with so many organisations from across the industry and celebrate the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.

The evening was hosted by Katherine Ryan, with Andy Hill, Founder and Group Chief Executive of The Hill Group, joining the celebrations and recognising the contribution of their supply chain partners.

A huge thank you to The Hill Group for the invitation, the hospitality and a brilliant evening. We’re proud of our ongoing relationship and look forward to continuing to support Hill across their developments.
