Be a hero with Zero!<br />
Powerwall Group, to deliver a step change reduction in the cost of zero<br />
energy bills homes whilst providing fixed price development solutions.<br />
The idea is to provide a one stop<br />
shop for potential clients. The<br />
intention is to provide both<br />
individuals and developers with fixed price<br />
standard house types and development<br />
solutions, with economies of scale clearly<br />
available offering the best possible<br />
specification for the price. The<br />
Powerwall system will meet Code 6<br />
EN01 and can meet full Code 6 when<br />
tailored to fit each unique site context.<br />
The Powerwall factory will fix its fees at<br />
competitive rates based on the contract<br />
value, and will be employed by Powerwall.<br />
We would seek to offer multi-disciplinary<br />
services and include Engineering, M&E and<br />
QS Cost Management services in all<br />
appointments where appropriate.<br />
Powerwall has a fixed supply chain and<br />
fixed costs for many items (with all<br />
installation and site based labour provided<br />
by the main contractor). These items<br />
include the Energy Roof rain screen<br />
including BIPV roof, Power Wall heat hub<br />
with integrated ASHP, ancillary compressor<br />
driven hot water production and storage<br />
and MVHR ventilation supply unit plus<br />
proprietary air ductwork distribution, and a<br />
Viking Foundation system, triple glazed low<br />
E Windows and Doors, and an external<br />
insulation system and stud timber frame<br />
system.<br />
Powerwall is able to procure items on a<br />
project by project basis, tendering for local<br />
products and services, and achieving best<br />
value without compromising the low impact<br />
environmental credentials, durability,<br />
performance, or embodied carbon<br />
footprint. Items would include the 140mm<br />
stud timber frame system filled with Knauf<br />
Ecose frame bat insulation; all mechanical,<br />
plumbing and drainage services; external<br />
works, landscaping, bin stores, log stores,<br />
garages with pre-grown sedum roofs and<br />
timber clad doors; electric vehicle charging<br />
sockets; all roads, pavements, bollard<br />
mounted external lighting; full responsibility<br />
for commissioning the completed buildings<br />
and achieving sign off from NHBC, LABC,<br />
Premier, BuildZone or Global Home<br />
Warranties insurance backed, which meet<br />
mortgage companies’ lending<br />
requirements.<br />
This split of responsibilities should be<br />
workable, and clarifies which items and<br />
specifications are fixed, and which are<br />
flexible to allow the<br />
Powerwall procurement<br />
purchasing initiatives.<br />
The share/profit split to<br />
Powerwall and the local<br />
contractor must reflect the<br />
total services input of all<br />
parties as a direct ratio.<br />
This should ensure<br />
sufficient motivation for<br />
the local contractor to<br />
maximise their profit<br />
without devaluing the<br />
Powerwall brand.<br />
A supply agreement with full specification<br />
and volume discounts is now set up,<br />
including an audited compliance model<br />
demonstrating that the non site specific<br />
building fabric and energy systems meets<br />
Code 6 EN01 with the optional capability for<br />
site specific contextual masterplans, and an<br />
audited building physics model setting<br />
energy load targets applied to a range of<br />
standard house types.<br />
The agreement also includes a set of<br />
standard construction details already with<br />
SAP thermal bridging and NHBC, LABC,<br />
Premier, BuildZone or Global Home<br />
Warranties insurance backed sign off,<br />
foundation and insulation systems, heating<br />
and energy systems and many more –<br />
check the website for the full supply<br />
agreement.<br />
What is most important is that we build,<br />
register and protect the standards of the<br />
Powerwall Brand on every project. The<br />
plan is to set up a new standard for zero<br />
energy bills housing that becomes the<br />
market leader.<br />
We are looking for contracting companies<br />
who will take the above kit of parts and<br />
give clients fixed price turnkey solutions<br />
without Powerwall taking contracting<br />
risks. We supply the Powerwall<br />
ingredients, do the design and supervision<br />
plus site inspection, and the contractor is<br />
responsible for sourcing and installing the<br />
rest of the scope of works. The joint<br />
venture contractor can be chosen to suit<br />
the size of project.<br />
The Powerwall Group supply multiple<br />
zero energy systems such as Timberframe,<br />
Sips, light Gauged Steel (LGS), Insulated<br />
Concrete Formwork (ICF), Cross Laminated<br />
Timber (CLT) and traditional building<br />
systems.<br />
