Our Retrofit Co-ordinator services provide essential oversight and management for energy efficiency and retrofit improvement programmes in social housing. We help councils, housing associations, and landlords deliver projects that are PAS 2035-compliant, safe, and effective, while supporting funding programmes such as the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF), Off-Gas Retrofit Programme (ORP), Energy Company Obligation (ECO), and other grant-funded initiatives.
A retrofit co-ordinator ensures that retrofit works are properly planned, delivered, and monitored, providing confidence to both landlords and residents that energy improvements are high quality, compliant, and deliver the intended outcomes.
What Is a Retrofit Co-ordinator?
A Retrofit Co-ordinator is a qualified professional responsible for overseeing the planning, delivery, and quality assurance of retrofit energy improvement works. They act as the central point of contact, managing PAS 2035-compliant processes and ensuring all technical, regulatory, and safety requirements are met.
In essence, the retrofit co-ordinator bridges the gap between assessment, design, funding, and installation, ensuring projects are delivered efficiently and effectively.
Why a Retrofit Co-ordinator Is Needed
Retrofit programmes involve multiple stakeholders, technical complexities, and strict compliance standards. Without a co-ordinator, schemes can face:
- Misaligned or poorly executed interventions
- Non-compliance with PAS 2035 or funding programme requirements
- Increased risk of defects, condensation, or unintended building performance issues
- Inefficient use of budget and resources
- Poor resident engagement and satisfaction
A retrofit co-ordinator mitigates these risks by planning, monitoring, and coordinating every stage of the retrofit programme.

Our retrofit co-ordinators provide comprehensive oversight across all aspects of a retrofit programme:
Project Planning and Assessment Oversight
- Review of EPCs, SAP calculations, stock assessments, and retrofit options
- Identification of risks and constraints in non-traditional or hard-to-treat homes
Design and Installation Coordination
- Ensures retrofit designers’ plans are implemented correctly
- Liaises with contractors, suppliers, and technical teams
- Monitors compliance with PAS 2035 and grant funding requirements
Quality Assurance and Monitoring
- Verifies workmanship and installation quality
- Confirms retrofit measures deliver the intended energy, carbon, and EPC/SAP improvements
- Provides evidence for regulatory compliance, funder reporting, and internal governance
Resident Engagement Support
