Pivotal Design & Build specialises in delivering exceptional town and country homes, including both refurbishment and new build projects. We have particular expertise in achieving sustainable, low-energy standards for Grade II listed properties and those situated in conservation areas across London. In partnership with residential architects, we offer a complete green design and build service tailored to our clients' needs.

Our site teams are well-versed in integrating sustainability improvements, such as solar panels, PV panels, heat pumps, airtight layers, and insulation, into existing buildings, including listed properties. We have also installed bespoke, high-quality secondary and triple glazing for modern windows in many of these buildings.

We are capable of working to Passivhaus standards, implementing highly efficient MVHR systems, top-tier insulation, and exceptional airtightness. If you are looking for a sustainable Passivhaus builder in London, we would be delighted to assist you.

Sustainability and environmental impact are at the core of our approach, and we actively seek to adopt eco-friendly building materials and systems. We view each project as an opportunity for research and development, sharing our findings and innovations with clients, consultants, and the wider public to foster an open exchange of knowledge in creating modern, thoughtfully designed homes.

At Pivotal Design & Build, our ethos is to exceed our clients' expectations with exceptional design and make a positive contribution to society and the environment. We are committed to delivering the highest quality results and customer service. With years of experience and a dedication to excellence, we ensure that every project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standard.

Our sustainability strategy goes beyond simply constructing green buildings; it’s about crafting spaces that are not only visually stunning and highly functional but also deeply connected to the natural environment. We aim to create homes and buildings that respect the planet by seamlessly integrating sustainable practices into every stage of the design and construction process. This includes using energy-efficient systems, embracing renewable energy sources, and employing innovative materials and technologies that minimise environmental impact.

We believe that truly sustainable design involves thoughtful planning, where each decision—from the choice of materials to the overall layout—is made with the intention of improving both the quality of life for the occupants and the health of the planet. Our approach emphasises reducing energy consumption, minimising waste, and improving the long-term resilience of our projects, ensuring that they are as beneficial to the environment as they are to those who inhabit them.

Our focus on sustainability is not just about meeting current standards, but about pushing the boundaries of what is possible. By blending eco-consciousness with cutting-edge design, we strive to create spaces that stand the test of time, offering comfort, beauty, and efficiency while positively contributing to the natural world. Ultimately, our goal is to transform the way people experience living and working in a way that fosters harmony between architecture and nature.

Our energy strategy focuses on seamlessly integrating the latest renewable technologies into our designs to create highly efficient, sustainable homes. We move beyond conventional, carbon-intensive systems and adopt forward-thinking solutions such as heat batteries and heat exchangers that harness power from natural sources like the wind, sun, ground, and air. This approach not only reduces energy consumption but also reconnects our buildings with the natural environment, ensuring that our homes are both environmentally responsible and comfortable to live in.

We believe that energy-efficient design is about more than just reducing consumption; it’s about creating spaces that work in harmony with nature, using resources intelligently while maintaining the comfort and well-being of the occupants. By incorporating advanced renewable technologies, we can reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond just the individual projects we create. We actively explore new ideas, materials, and systems that can further improve energy performance, and we share these innovations with the broader community. We invite you to read our latest blog post, where we dive deeper into our energy strategy and the ways we’re driving positive change in the construction industry through sustainable practices.

The building envelope plays a crucial role in maintaining both energy efficiency and comfort within a home. Our approach involves designing highly insulated and airtight envelopes that not only enhance energy savings but also reflect the unique character and values of each project. Whether we’re working with new builds or upgrading existing structures, we focus on achieving the perfect balance between state-of-the-art, high-performance components and the distinctive charm of older buildings.

When renovating or retrofitting existing properties, we take care to preserve the character of the original structure while incorporating modern, energy-efficient materials and techniques. This ensures that our buildings aren’t just sustainable, but also blend seamlessly into their surroundings. By combining technical excellence with an eye for aesthetic appeal, we create homes that are both environmentally responsible and visually striking, enhancing the overall value and sustainability of the property.
