2025 is coming faster than many may realise. And with it will come the mandatory Future Homes Standard (FHS) compliance for new builds. These regulations will ensure the houses of tomorrow produce 75 – 80% less carbon than current Building Regulations.
From heating to hot water systems and insulation, today’s building technologies are being critically re-examined. Alongside other legislation targeting existing homes, these measures will help the UK achieve the 2050 net zero target. But some housebuilders are not waiting until then. Builders like Croudace Homes are trialling new technologies and cutting carbon right now, using industry-leading solutions like Posi-Joist.
“With the Future Homes Standard, the market for Posi-Joist is going to grow, because additional room is going to be needed for services to pass through the ceiling void,” says Site Manager, Matthew McCourt.
“We’re going to have a lot more additional services passing through the joists, such as pipework, cabling and additional ducting. Now, Posi-Joists are the only product on the market that can facilitate that.” Croudace believes Posi-Joists are much more versatile than other products out there on the market.
“They are much more adaptable than i-joists. When it comes to the first fix stage inside the property, Posi-Joists are much easier to work with. Electricians and plumbers find it much easier to run their cabling and pipe work through. And we know it saves time,” added Matthew McCourt.
Trades are saving about a day or two of installation time for each home. That translates to incredible time and labour cost savings across a whole development. So, at a time when industry is facing many challenges, from finding new ways to achieve new regulations, to specifying sustainable products, there has never been a better time for Posi-Joist.
