“When looking for software to carry out the SBEM calculation I tried a number of packages, they were either time consuming which reduced productivity or too costly. I then discovered DesignBuilder on the Internet at www.dbcert.co.uk. Within ten minutes I was able to produce a building which would otherwise have taken me hours or even days to produce on iSBEM.

When I booked onto the training course I had become quite proficient with the DesignBuilder software. Nevertheless the training which I received provided me with additional skills and knowledge needed to produce larger and more complicated buildings.

I was also surprised with the overall cost, which included the training and a perpetual license as this is at a fraction of the cost of other software at the same standard and is far superior to other SBEM tools

Since the training I have produced large buildings with complex shapes and DesignBuilder has proved an invaluable tool to enable me to do this – see illustration below

I would recommend this product to anyone wishing to carry out Level 3 & 4 EPCs”.
