We are registered BER assessors providing BER assessments across Cork, along with practical advice on improving your home’s energy performance as part of a wider design or renovation project.
A BER (Building Energy Rating) measures the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A0 to G (BER scale update from 24th of May 2026 re EPBD Directive), with A0 rated homes being the most efficient.
A certified BER assessor in Cork evaluates:
Insulation levels
Heating systems
Ventilation
Overall building performance
You will receive:
An official BER certificate
An advisory report outlining recommended improvements
Improving your BER can:
Lower energy bills
Increase property value
Improve comfort and indoor air quality
Support eligibility for SEAI grants
A strong energy performance is increasingly important for all homes.
Understanding your home’s energy performance is the first step to improving it.
We provide BER assessments across Cork city and county, whether for:
Property sales or rentals
Existing homes
Extensions and renovations
New builds
As architects, we look beyond the certificate — helping you understand how to improve performance in a practical and cost-effective way.
Unlike a standalone BER assessor, we integrate energy performance into the overall design of your home.
This means:
Better long-term results
Smarter upgrade decisions
Avoiding unnecessary or poorly targeted works
Whether you’re planning a renovation, extension, or new build in Cork, we can incorporate BER improvements from the outset.

Choosing the right BER assessor in Cork is important, particularly if you are planning works.
We combine BER expertise with architectural experience, ensuring that recommendations are practical, achievable, and aligned with your project. Rather than treating BER as a standalone requirement, we consider how energy performance fits within the overall design and long-term use of your home.
This allows for more informed decisions, better value from upgrades, and a smoother process from assessment through to construction.
Tell us about your project and we’ll guide you through the next steps.
