Created by experts to support your planning and funding bids

The RISE Knowledge Hub is a collection of expert-produced articles covering a wide range of technical and bid management topics.

The Knowledge Hub is structured to take you through each stage of developing a retrofit project, from early stage preparation to delivery and beyond. It also shares insights into some of the main funding streams – Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund and Warm Homes: Local Grant.

These articles aim to share insights, good practices, and lessons learned from relevant retrofit/Warm Homes projects. They are intended for informational purposes only and do not constitute recommendations or endorsements of specific suppliers, products, or services within the sector.

The toolkit covers the following areas.


Preparing a retrofit project

The preparation phase covers all the activities needed to take a project from initial concept to ready for approval, financing and execution. All these steps are required to make an effective application for funding.


Delivery and post retrofit

The delivery and post-retrofit phases cover all the activities needed to take your project from concept to reality, including design and installation, and then onto resident handover and long-term maintenance.
