NEW BUILD / RENOVATION
CONSULTATION
​​

This service is ideal for new builds, recent renovations, or concerns about off-gassing from items like couches or mattresses. Symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, irritation, rashes, or general discomfort may indicate the presence of harmful emissions.

​

Formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, off-gasses from many household products, with higher levels in warm, humid conditions. VOCs, emitted by various solids and liquids, are common in new builds and everyday items, posing both short- and long-term health risks. MVOCs, released by mould, signal active growth and can seriously impact health, especially in vulnerable individuals.

Planning a new build or renovation? Ensure a healthier indoor environment from the start with a Building Biology Consultation. Getting it right at the design phase is crucial for creating spaces that support well-being and reduce future issues. I provide guidance on selecting low-toxicity building materials, optimal ventilation, and strategies to prevent mould, off-gassing, and indoor air quality problems. Additionally, I assess potential electromagnetic field (EMF) impacts, helping you make informed choices to minimize exposure. Consulting with a building biologist early in your project can save you from costly health and structural issues down the road.  

 

 I collaborate closely with your team—builders, architects, electricians, trades, and designers—to create the home you envision, within budget and without compromising health. My consulting service is typically offered at an hourly rate, with site visits arranged as needed to provide tailored, hands-on guidance. Together, we’ll ensure your project aligns with both your aesthetic goals and health priorities.
