Our Story

Over Two Decades
of Technical Expertise.

Established in 2004, Environmental Building Solutions NI was the first company to offer airtightness testing in Northern Ireland.

Since then, EBSNI has developed its expertise across building compliance, energy calculations, on site testing and specialist surveys.

Today, we work with architects, developers, contractors and building professionals across Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland, providing practical technical support from design stage through to final testing and certification.
