Pre-construction coordination
Review drawings, house types, roof pitches, obstructions and the intended energy strategy before procurement is locked.
New builds and developers
Part L coordinated. Plot ready. Delivered to programme.
Turnkey solar integration for housebuilders, contractors and housing providers across England and Wales — from early design coordination to plot handover.
Part L and energy-model coordination
Repeatable house-type specifications
Staged delivery against programme
Plot-by-plot completion support
Part L and design coordination
Bring solar into the build before it becomes a retrofit problem.
REST works alongside the developer, architect, energy assessor and delivery team to coordinate the proposed solar specification with the house types, roof layouts and project programme.
House-type designPanel layouts, roof zones, cable routes and equipment locations considered before installation.
Energy-model supportSystem information prepared for the project team to use within its SAP, Part L and wider compliance process.
Clear responsibilitiesInterfaces with roofing, scaffolding, electrical and site-management teams agreed before the work begins.
What developers need from a solar partner
Consistent specification without slowing the build.
The technical package needs to work on paper, arrive when the site is ready and leave each plot with the right commissioning and homeowner information.
Repeatable plot specifications
Create a consistent package for each house type while allowing for orientation, roof layout and plot-specific differences.
Programme-led installation
Coordinate delivery and labour against roofing completion, scaffold availability, electrical progress and handover dates.
Structured completion records
Keep commissioning details, applicable certification and handover information organised by plot and phase.
Supply-chain reliability
Confirmed, staged and aligned to the development programme.
REST can work to agreed call-off phases so the relevant panels, inverters and supporting equipment are coordinated with plot readiness rather than delivered as one uncontrolled site drop.
10–500+Plots can be discussed within one coordinated programme.
House typeSpecifications can be repeated consistently across relevant plots.
Phase ledDelivery and installation can follow agreed build and handover stages.
Turnkey site process
Five stages coordinated around the build.
Each stage gives the developer and site team a clear point of coordination, from initial design through to resident handover.
Stage 1 of 5
Early design coordination
REST reviews house types, roof layouts and the intended energy specification with the project team before installation details are fixed.
- Review drawings and house-type schedules
- Coordinate panel zones and equipment locations
- Identify roofing, access and electrical interfaces
Built for project teams
One delivery route across the people responsible for the build.
REST can work with the professionals shaping, procuring and delivering the development.
Housebuilders and developers
Plot programmes, house-type specifications, procurement and handover planning.
Architects and energy assessors
Early layouts, equipment information and design-stage coordination.
Main contractors and site teams
Sequencing, access, scaffolding, roofing and electrical interfaces.
Housing associations and providers
Repeatable standards, resident information and portfolio-wide delivery.
Developer questions
The practical points to settle before installation starts.
Early coordination reduces avoidable changes once roofing, scaffolding and electrical packages are already progressing.
Early design involvement is preferable. It allows panel layouts, roof zones, cable routes, inverter positions, access requirements and programme sequencing to be coordinated before the relevant packages are fixed.
REST can coordinate the proposed solar specification with the developer, architect and energy assessor so the system information can be considered within the project's energy model. Final regulatory compliance remains subject to the approved design, calculations and building-control process.
Yes. REST can create repeatable plot specifications for different house types, then work to agreed call-off phases and programme dates across the development.
REST can coordinate commissioning records, applicable MCS documentation and homeowner handover information on a plot-by-plot basis, subject to the final scope and installation route.
Yes. Battery storage, EV charging and future-ready electrical allowances can be considered alongside the solar design where they form part of the developer specification.
Yes. The installation plan can be coordinated with roofing, scaffolding, electrical, site-management and principal-contractor teams so responsibilities and programme interfaces are clear.
A site name and postcode, estimated plot count, house-type information, target programme dates, available drawings and the relevant design or procurement contact are enough to begin.
