Keep assumptions visible
An early model can inform a design before every product is selected. Confirmed information and assumptions need to remain separate so the team knows what to verify as the design develops.
Building-performance consultancy
Technical work, clear project actions
Briary is a building-performance consultancy working across energy, overheating, fabric, testing and construction evidence.
How Briary works
We help architects, housebuilders, contractors and property teams understand what the assessment means for the building they are designing or delivering.
The work starts with the building, the requirement and the decision that needs to be made. We check the information, explain the result and identify what must happen next. That applies to a single extension as much as to repeated house types across a development.
Care in the details and the record
Explain the controlling issue
A report should make the next action clear. We identify the input or constraint driving a result and test options within the commissioned scope.
Treat changes as part of the work
A different window, insulation product or system can affect several assessments. We identify the information and checks needed to keep the final model representative.
Consider completion before it becomes urgent
The evidence needed at handover often starts during construction. We connect the design assessment with relevant photographs, installed-product information, tests and final confirmations.
Start with the building and the question
Tell us the project stage, requirement and available information. We will help define the useful technical scope.
