FAQ 's

What is a Retrofit Design and when is it required?
A Retrofit Design is a tailored plan that specifies which energy efficiency measures should be installed in an existing property and how they should be safely combined. Under PAS 2035:2023, a Retrofit Design is mandatory for any funded retrofit project — including ECO4 and GBIS — that involves medium or high-risk measures such as external wall insulation or loft insulation paired with other works. StepSoft produces designs that account for ventilation, moisture risk, and thermal performance.
 

A StepSoft Retrofit Design includes a review of the Retrofit Assessment data, specification of suitable energy measures, U-value targets, ventilation strategy, moisture and condensation risk review, and a Medium-Term Improvement Plan (MTIP). All designs are produced in line with BSI PAS 2035:2023 and are audit-ready for TrustMark lodgement and scheme compliance checks.

Retrofit Designs at StepSoft are produced by ECMK and Elmhurst-approved retrofit professionals who hold qualifications aligned with PAS 2035. The team is also supported by MCIOB accreditation, ensuring designs meet both technical and regulatory standards. This means your documentation will withstand scheme audits and TrustMark reviews.
 
Retrofit Design is the process of specifying which measures to install and how to combine them safely — it is a technical document. Retrofit Coordination is the management role that oversees the entire project from assessment through to installation and TrustMark lodgement. Both roles are required under PAS 2035, and StepSoft provides both services, often in an integrated package.
 
Yes. StepSoft provides PAS 2035-compliant Retrofit Design specifically for ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation) and GBIS (Great British Insulation Scheme) funded projects. The designs meet the documentation and evidence requirements set by scheme administrators and managing agents, helping installers and contractors achieve fast, compliant approvals.
 
Yes — this is a critical part of the process. Adding insulation without addressing ventilation can increase condensation and damp. StepSoft’s Retrofit Designs always include a ventilation strategy assessment and condensation risk review to ensure that measures such as cavity wall or loft insulation do not cause unintended moisture problems. This is a core PAS 2035 requirement.
 
Turnaround times depend on project complexity, but StepSoft aims to deliver Retrofit Designs efficiently to keep your project on schedule.
