When it comes to constructing an environmentally responsible and compliant building, you need more than just the right materials; you need a structured approach. That’s where BREEAM Pre-Assessment comes in. We understand that every building project has unique requirements, and we customize our pre-assessment process to meet those specific needs. Whether you’re a developer, architect, or contractor, BREEAM certification ensures your project meets high sustainability standards and complies with environmental regulations.
But how can you be sure you’re headed in the right direction? By conducting a BREEAM Pre-Assessment early in your project, you get the roadmap to achieving your desired certification and avoiding potential roadblocks that could delay construction or increase costs. We’ll provide you with a detailed evaluation of your building’s design, identify areas for improvement, and suggest practical solutions.
Let’s kick off the BREEAM Pre-Assessment and turn your vision into reality.

Our Services
Our service provides clear, actionable recommendations on how to design and execute your project in a way that increases your BREEAM score while meeting your environmental and financial goals.
Whether you’re seeking an excellent or outstanding BREEAM rating, we have the expertise to guide you.
Understanding what your project will be evaluated on is a crucial step toward achieving a high sustainability rating. When you know the key areas that influence scoring, you can plan early improvements and avoid costly changes later. To get a clear picture of how buildings are assessed and what standards you need to meet, explore BREEAM assessment criteria, which outlines the main categories and how they impact your final rating.
BREEAM Pre-Assessment Overview
Before diving into the full BREEAM assessment, we conduct a thorough Pre-Assessment that sets the foundation for your entire project.
By evaluating the building’s design, construction practices, and proposed sustainability measures, we provide you with a report on the potential BREEAM score. Our Pre-Assessment will give you a clear understanding of where your building stands and what adjustments are necessary to achieve your sustainability goals.
Design Optimization for BREEAM
Your building’s design plays a crucial role in the final BREEAM rating. We’ll work closely with your design team to ensure that the building’s layout, materials, energy systems, and water usage are optimized for sustainability.
We’ll focus on key BREEAM categories like Energy, Health & Wellbeing, and Materials to make sure your design meets the required targets.
Energy Efficiency Analysis
Energy efficiency is a core component of BREEAM. We’ll analyze your building’s energy performance, checking whether it meets BREEAM’s energy-saving criteria.
We’ll provide detailed advice on how to improve insulation, HVAC systems, lighting, and renewable energy solutions to make your building more energy-efficient, reducing both its environmental impact and operational costs.
Water Management & Efficiency
Water conservation is vital for sustainability. We’ll assess your water management systems to ensure they align with BREEAM standards.
From efficient plumbing fixtures to rainwater harvesting systems, we’ll help you identify areas where water usage can be minimized, leading to both environmental benefits and lower utility bills.
Sustainable Materials Consultation
Materials matter in BREEAM. The types of materials you use in construction affect the overall sustainability of your building.
We’ll review your material choices and recommend eco-friendly, energy-efficient alternatives that contribute to higher BREEAM credits without compromising on quality or durability.
Waste Management Strategy
A strong waste management plan is essential for achieving a high BREEAM score. We’ll evaluate your construction waste disposal strategy, ensuring it aligns with BREEAM’s criteria.
We’ll also guide you on how to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials, cutting down on landfill contributions and increasing your sustainability score.
Health & Wellbeing Analysis
Building for human comfort and well-being is central to BREEAM. We’ll examine factors like indoor air quality, lighting, thermal comfort, and acoustics to ensure that your building provides a healthy and productive environment for its occupants.
Improving these aspects can also lead to higher tenant satisfaction and long-term value.
Compliance with Local Regulations
Navigating local regulations and ensuring compliance can be complex. We’ll guide you through the necessary steps to meet both local and international environmental standards.
With our help, you’ll avoid costly fines and delays, ensuring your building is built to code.
