Online technical consultancy

Remote advice for bioconstruction projects and one-off consultations on damp, pathologies, healthy materials and circadian lighting.

Online technical consultancy is our remote advisory service for those seeking expert criteria on bioconstruction, habitat health and healthy materials, whether or not they have a construction project underway.

Two ways to work with you

Project audit

For developers, architects or self-builders with a project who want to shield it before construction begins. We act as a quality filter: detecting incompatibilities, prescribing healthy materials and delivering a roadmap for the construction team.

Includes:

  • Full project review to detect errors that compromise breathability and health
  • Material prescription: which lime, which aggregate, which additives to buy
  • Roadmap for your builder with the red lines they must not cross
  • Video consultation to answer questions and empower you with technical arguments
  • Conclusions and recommendations report

One-off consultations

For individuals with specific questions who don’t have —and don’t need— a defined project. A video consultation session to answer your questions about your home’s health.

Common topics:

  • Damp diagnosis: rising damp, condensation, leaks
  • Assessment of construction pathologies and intervention proposals
  • Healthy materials selection for renovations or self-build
  • Mineral paints, breathable finishes and material compatibility
  • Circadian lighting and indoor air quality
  • Questions about bioconstruction, healthy renovations or self-build

Format:

  • Video consultation session (1 hour)
  • Written report with conclusions and practical recommendations

Unique characteristics

Project audit

We analyse your project before work begins to detect conceptual errors that compromise breathability or habitat health.

One-off consultations

You don't need a project. We answer your specific questions about damp, pathologies, materials or home health in video consultation sessions.

Damp and pathology diagnosis

We analyse photos and documentation to identify the source of damp —rising damp, condensation, leaks— and propose coherent interventions.

Healthy materials prescription

We tell you which materials to buy for your renovation or self-build: limes, aggregates, additives, mineral paints… No empty brands, just technical specifications.

Circadian lighting and air quality

Guidance on how to improve natural and artificial lighting in your home and indoor air quality for a healthier living environment.

Conclusions report

After each session or audit, you receive a document with recommendations, reasoning and next steps.
