Private Consultation (sustainable homes / retrofit)
We offer one-to-one consultations with architect and educator Ric Frankland. With more than 15 years’ experience teaching architecture, design, and construction at UK universities, and as founder of Wudl Modular Homes, Ric combines academic insight with hands-on building expertise. His work focuses on low-carbon, fabric-first construction, modern methods of building, and practical approaches to retrofit.
These one-hour sessions are tailored to your needs - whether you’re a homeowner exploring retrofit options, a student seeking guidance on sustainable design, or a contractor looking for practical advice on new build methods.
Consultations can take place in person at our Manchester factory or online via Zoom, making them accessible wherever you are.

Energy Efficiency Measures in Older & Traditional Buildings (Level 3)
There are 6.5 million traditional (pre-1919) buildings in England, Scotland and Wales, which is approximately 20-30 per cent of all buildings in Great Britain. This is the perfect course to lean how to retrofit a huge number of homes and is a qualification that will lead to becoming a Retrofit Assessor, Designer or Evaluator.
