The three Part O headaches architects keep telling us about

Concept-stage uncertainty, late-stage redesign and a regulation that punishes generous glazing. We solve all three.

1

Glass-heavy concepts fail late

A scheme passes the planners then trips Part O on glazing-to-floor ratio. We flag this at concept stage in under five minutes.

2

Redesign loops eat fee

Use AI Auto-Fix to find the minimum glazing or shading change that brings the dwelling back inside the Simplified Method limits - no DTM needed.

3
