”We are thrilled to be shortlisted for the Big Retrofit Challenge 2026 and look forward to showcasing Transform-ER as an innovative solution for scaling high-quality and cost-effective retrofit. We have designed a new model that transforms retrofit delivery from fragmentation to integration to help tackle barriers social housing landlords often face like high costs, lost trust and stalled programmes.
As a mission-driven CIC, we are proud to be doing things differently. So, we’re delighted our innovative approach has been recognised as a game changer to creating warm, healthy, energy-efficient homes where residents love to live.

Transform-ER
Transform-ER is a Community Interest Company (CIC) with a bold mission: to help social landlords scale high-quality home energy upgrades – enabling a sector capable of retrofitting 1 million homes per year by 2030. We’re rethinking retrofit at a systemic level to make it simpler for landlords and local authorities to procure, finance, and deliver home energy upgrades at scale – all with residents at the heart.
Our end-to-end service integrates data, design, finance, resident engagement and delivery under one roof, led by a team of experts with a proven track record of delivering fresh approaches to retrofit.
The innovation: Transform-ER
Transform-ER is a bold new delivery model for retrofit that lets landlords and local authorities stop managing complexity and start delivering homes.
We bring together better data, finance, kits-of-parts solutions, resident engagement and collaborative delivery so landlords can achieve cost certainty, quality outcomes, and social value through one accountable partner.
We’re not a consultant or a traditional main contractor. We’re a delivery integrator designed to work at neighbourhood and borough level while operating as a CIC where profits are reinvested into our mission.
Retrofit at scale, made simple.
