What Man 03 assesses and the evidence needed
| Requirement | Typical evidence |
|---|---|
| Environmental management system on site | Contractor EMS certificate and site plan |
| Sustainability champion during construction | Appointment letter |
| Considerate construction scheme | Registration and monitoring score |
| Site energy, water and transport monitoring | Monthly monitoring data |
Exact criteria and credit numbers depend on the scheme and manual version your project is registered under. Your assessor confirms them at pre-assessment.
How to secure Man 03 without extra cost
- Agree the target at pre-assessment, before RIBA Stage 2.
- Give the responsible designer or contractor a clear evidence list.
- Check the evidence at design stage so nothing is lost at post-construction review.
