Charles Christodoulou: “You need to find someone who’s got some basic building knowledge to guide you because we will organize an energy report for you and we have to make sure that the house achieves a 7-star energy rating. So if for whatever reason we need to put thicker insulation, yeah we provide the guidance will be on the energy report. So it’s just being a bit patient and then trusting the system but there’s a lot of checks along the way too cause your building surveyor will check whether he’ll want a copy of the energy report himself. Now he will not issue a building permit unless he’s happy with the energy report. So you got the building surveyor is like your building policeman.“
