Depends on the contruction....google heat loss calculators.
Why can't the installer do the calcs?
Many designer rads (especially vertical) give off little heat compared with traditional convector radiators so do the maths carefully.
In addtion it is good to oversize the radiators and run the boiler at a lower heating temperature to maximise the efficiency.

If you are thinking of a combi then you are looking at the smallest being 24/25Kw. They do modulate down to approximately 7Kw.
Hot water flow is approximately 9lts.
