01
Stronger technical governance
Clearer responsibilities, better information flow and proportionate controls that support delivery rather than create bureaucracy.
Specialist retrofit consultancy
Technical confidence for complex retrofit programmes.
AISK supports councils, housing providers and major contractors with the expertise, assurance and delivery insight needed to mobilise programmes, manage technical risk and achieve consistent outcomes across housing portfolios.

Why AISK
Moving retrofit beyond paperwork and into dependable delivery.
AISK was established to address a knowledge and quality gap in the retrofit sector. We combine specialist retrofit expertise with structured approaches drawn from engineering, construction and major infrastructure delivery.
02
Earlier risk identification
Moisture, ventilation, buildability and interface risks are addressed before they become costly defects or programme delays.
03
Consistent portfolio outcomes
Repeatable technical processes and senior oversight help maintain quality across properties, workstreams and supply-chain teams.
04
Flexible specialist support
We can operate independently, as a specialist subconsultant or as an embedded extension of a wider delivery team.
Core expertise
Specialist capability where programmes need it most.
AISK brings together advisory, assurance and engineering expertise to support decisions from early strategy through delivery and evaluation.

Assessment
Build reliable property information and identify constraints early.
04
Design
Coordinate technically appropriate, buildable whole-dwelling solutions.
05
Delivery
Resolve technical queries, interfaces and change without losing intent.
06
Assurance
Review quality, evidence, compliance and emerging programme risks.
07
Evaluation
Capture performance, lessons and improvements for future delivery.
08
Continuous improvement
Turn project learning into stronger portfolio-wide processes.
Specialist analysis
Building physics and hygrothermal analysis.
We analyse heat, air and moisture movement through buildings to help project teams make evidence-based decisions on insulation, ventilation, junctions and construction build-ups.
- WUFI hygrothermal modelling
- fRSI surface temperature factors
- Surface and interstitial condensation
- Thermal bridging and junction risk
- U-value calculations
- Traditional and moisture-sensitive fabric
Selected experience
Grounded in real delivery challenges.
Our experience spans ECO4 frameworks, social housing programmes, occupied domestic properties and support to installers and delivery partners.
Technical support across funded retrofit frameworks
Whole-dwelling assessment, coordination, design review and technical problem-solving across occupied homes and varied property archetypes.
Moisture and condensation risk analysis
Evidence-led review of insulation build-ups, junctions and internal conditions using fRSI, condensation assessment and dynamic modelling where required.
Property and portfolio technical assurance
Supporting consistent design decisions, quality expectations and risk controls across housing-provider and contractor delivery environments.
Embedded expertise for installers and wider project teams
Flexible technical input to resolve queries, strengthen processes and maintain design intent through assessment, design and installation.
