Retrofit Coordinator cost
As part of the retrofit process to improve your home’s energy efficiency, you’ll need to enlist the help of a Retrofit Coordinator to implement any of the recommendations from your home assessment. In this guide, we look at the average Retrofit Coordinator cost in the UK.
In order to comply with PAS 2035 guidance, all domestic retrofit projects must be handled by a qualified Retrofit Coordinator. This is to ensure that there’s a central project manager for all the work that is carried out, as well as to protect the interests of both the clients and the public.
How much does a Retrofit Coordinator cost?
The average cost of a Retrofit Coordinator will depend on the scope of the retrofit project. The larger and more complex the project, the higher the price you’ll pay for a Retrofit Coordinator.

| Introductory advice (by phone) | £100 | £150 | £120 |
| Retrofit assessment (full survey) | £400 | £600 | £500 |

What does a Retrofit Coordinator do?
Think of the Retrofit Coordinator as a project manager for the whole retrofit project. Their responsibility is to oversee the entire retrofit from start to finish, including the identification of energy measures for installation, risk assessment and coordination of all the work by qualified Retrofit professionals.
A Retrofit Coordinator will advise on the design, installation and timeframe for all of the recommended energy measures. They are also available to provide professional advice, answer questions and escalate queries throughout the life cycle of the project.
Here’s a summary of the activities that Retrofit Coordinators will need to undertake as part of the PAS 2035 process:
The completion of a retrofit risk assessment for each dwelling or dwelling type within the retrofit project
The development of a retrofit project plan
The development of a medium term improvement plan for every dwelling, for implementation over a period of thirty years
The documentation of the project progress, including any information that is supplied by building owners, and other retrofit stakeholders involved in the delivery of the project
