We recently appeared on the House Planning Help podcast to discuss the launch of our predesigned, prefabricated Passivhaus homes.
As one of the UK’s leading educational platforms for self-builders, House Planning Help provides invaluable support through online courses and expert-led training.
In the episode, we discussed our journey to creating the Coldwells Build Passivhaus —our debut range of prefabricated, Passivhaus-certified homes, designed to combine energy-efficient living with industry-leading construction standards.
Building a Passivhaus is complicated. From finding a certified architect and specialist contractors, to making the right design and layout choices. We’ve simplified 3000+ decisions into one expert package – the Coldwells Build Passivhaus.
The new range marks our debut in Passivhaus-certified homes, showcasing our commitment to sustainable living and energy-efficient design. With these homes, we aim to lead the charge in the UK’s transition to greener housing.
The range includes two, three, four and five-bedroom homes, prefabricated in our Aberdeenshire workshop using the Coldwells Build Passivhaus Panel, allowing for quick on-site assembly and superior quality control.
Certified Passivhaus homes reduce heating bills by 79%, reducing carbon emissions and energy costs while improving the comfort and health of occupants.
Clients can choose between a full turnkey service, which covers every step from planning to final certification, or a self-build option, providing a wind, watertight and airtight Passivhaus ready to decorate.
