Helping your design projects stay compliant and save resources
Planning a new residential build or conversion? You’ll need water efficiency calculations to demonstrate your development meets part G of the Building Regulations.
At Total Energy Assessors, we provide fast, accurate assessments for builders, developers and architects across Sheffield. Our clear reports calculate predicted water usage based on fittings, appliances and design features – giving you peace of mind that your designs are compliant and sustainable.
Water calculations are required for all new dwellings to demonstrate that predicted usage stays below 125 litres per person per day. As an Elmhurst-accredited team, we assess your plans in detail, taking into account everything from taps and toilets to showers, baths and white goods.
Following the assessment, you’ll receive a clear, fully compliant report ready for building control submission. Whether you’re planning a single bespoke home or a large development of new-builds, we’ll help you meet Part G requirements without compromising on quality, design or deadlines.
Timing is critical on-site, which is why we provide detailed, building-control-ready water usage reports within a week of your assessment. Our experts will help you stay ahead of deadlines, prevent costly delays and avoid last-minute surprises during final inspections.

We offer a fast turnaround – typically within the same week – depending on how quickly we receive the required information. If you’re working to a deadline, just let us know and we’ll do our best to meet it.
