BREEAM

The development process can be complex, our team provide clear guidance and robust strategies to ensure sustainability targets are embedded and delivered on projects. We have certified hundreds of projects, providing third party assurance for our clients’ sustainability objectives.

Driving sustainability

Reducing the environmental impact of buildings and infrastructure is a key factor when planning the future of sustainable cities. While legislation and energy codes are becoming increasingly stringent, more and more developers are committing to a more sustainable approach.

Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for buildings, infrastructure and master planning projects. We work with our clients to apply the best certification methodology (BREEAM, LEED, CfSH, HQM, CEEQUAL and WELL), delivering certification to new construction, refurbishment, ‘fit out’ and ‘in-use’ schemes. 

Working collaboratively with the project team during the early stages of a project, we seek to maximize the inherent potential for a project to achieve sustainability outcomes.

Industry leading 

Our BREEAM Assessors and Advisory Professional’s create robust strategies tailored to both our clients’ objectives and to the needs and well-being of occupants, with a particular focus on minimising environmental and ecological impact. 

Our assessors work with a variety of clients, on a range of projects, varying from large scale schemes to small bespoke projects. Our ultimate aim is always the same; to provide pragmatic, best practice guidance and to deliver certification objectives.

Building for the future

Certification provides you with a market differentiator for your development or project. Using Future Ready thinking, our team will also work with you to design and embed future trends within the certification process. We’ve already helped clients consider low carbon design; durability and resilience; adaption to climate change; biodiversity net gain and ecological protection.

Based on the collective knowledge of our BREEAM and Ecology teams, we were appointed by BRE Global to update their approach to Ecology calculation in 2018, informing BREEAM New Construction 2018 onwards - we helped embed a tailored approach to the Defra ‘No Net Loss’ approach.

Tailored solutions

We combine commercial, technical and creative thinking. This blended approach supports the delivery of attractive, healthy environments that add real value through enhanced user well-being. We help our clients understand how to reduce energy and natural resource demand, improve performance and increase market value.
