Ridge appoints Retrofit Lead, Neb Augustinov

11 December 2024

Heading up our retrofit offering within the Building Surveying team, Neb will oversee retrofit projects nationwide.

Neb joins us from Equans, bringing a strong focus on decarbonisation and large-scale social housing regeneration projects. One of his most notable achievements was coordinating the retrofit for Birmingham City Council’s SHDF bid, one of the largest social housing decarbonisation projects in the country.  

His extensive experience with PAS 2035 projects—a British standard for retrofitting domestic dwellings for energy efficiency—positions him to play a pivotal role in achieving net zero carbon goals. 

Since joining us, Neb has been focusing on creating and implementing tailored retrofit strategies that significantly reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, and enhance living standards for clients and residents. 

Commenting on his appointment, Neb said: “I’m excited to join Ridge, the multidisciplinary team aspect really drew me in, along with the very strong relationships they already have with housing providers. I’m looking forward to creating solutions that are sustainable, cost-effective and aligned with the long-term goals of creating healthier, more energy-efficient homes” 

The appointment of Neb as Retrofit Lead reflects our commitment to delivering projects that are not only compliant and cost-effective but also aligned with global sustainability targets. 

Steve Cooper, Building Surveying Partner, said, “Neb’s extensive experience in decarbonisation and large-scale social housing regeneration projects will be invaluable as we expand our retrofit offerings nationwide.”
