From Industrial Buildings to Industrial Software
Civil engineer, industrial buildings
LowEnergy.build's founder started his professional career as a civil engineer, designing industrial buildings. That early grounding in how structures actually get built has shaped everything since.
Writing engineering software
That career evolved into writing engineering software, the first step from designing buildings to building the tools used to design them.
Anethos founded
Anethos Ltd was set up to write business management software for the UK SME manufacturing market. Two decades on, that software, now EasyBuild, is still a core part of the business.
Converting a Victorian pumping station
With architecture and construction in his DNA, and a nagging desire to live in a converted industrial building, he took on the conversion of a Victorian water pumping station, turning it into an energy-efficient, comfortable home.
LowEnergy.build
Having project-managed that conversion himself, it was clear that creating a genuinely low-energy home is not an easy task. In the UK there's a huge mismatch between the design and the construction of individual new builds and conversions. LowEnergy.build was created to help close that gap, giving architects and their clients one shared workspace, from brief to handover.
