Retrofit Advisor

Retrofit Advisors give independent guidance to homeowners and residents, helping them to understand retrofit and the options most suitable for their homes. They often work alongside Retrofit Coordinators, providing an important link between the people working on a property and those living in it. Retrofit Advisors are among the first to be engaged when new work begins.
