Delivering compliant, water-efficient residential developments through robust assessment
Part G of the Building Regulations sets requirements for water efficiency in new developments, including limits on internal potable water consumption.
MES Building Solutions provides water efficiency calculations and compliance advice, supporting residential developments from early design through to building control approval. Our approach ensures compliance is achieved efficiently while identifying opportunities to improve water performance through practical, cost-effective design measures.
We work closely with project teams to integrate water efficiency early, reduce compliance risk, and support a smooth approval process.

Why Water Efficiency Matters
Water efficiency is increasingly important in delivering sustainable, future-ready housing, particularly in areas with local planning requirements beyond baseline Part G standards.
Early consideration of water use helps avoid redesign, ensures compliance, and can contribute to broader sustainability targets.
