BREEAM
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification stands out as a crucial tool for creating eco-friendly buildings. Developed in 1990, BREEAM evaluates a building's environmental performance from design to operation, inspiring sustainable practices across the construction industry. BREEAM checks how a building affects our environment from the very beginning of its design to when people start using it. This helps encourage smart and green choices in how we build things. Let's explore how BREEAM works and why it's making the world of construction more sustainable.

Why BREEAM?
BREEAM is an assessment method and certification scheme and
like any form of certification its purpose is to add credibility by demonstrating that a
product or service meets and ideally exceeds the expectations of its customers. Just like how a certificate makes you proud of your achievements, BREEAM does the same for buildings by saying, "Hey, I'm built and run in a way that's kind to the Earth." And here's why that's so important:
How BREEAM Works
BREEAM works by breaking down a building's sustainability performance into a range of categories, each addressing a different facet of environmental impact. These categories encompass:
Each category is further divided into specific criteria that buildings must meet to earn credits. These credits add up to an overall score, which corresponds to a certification level:
Pass
Good
Very Good
Excellent
Outstanding
​
Achieving higher certification levels requires meeting more stringent sustainability criteria.
Our BREEAM Services
BREEAM is more than a certification; it's a commitment to a sustainable future. By evaluating buildings against a comprehensive set of environmental criteria, BREEAM has redefined the construction landscape. It challenges us to create spaces that are not just functional and beautiful but also environmentally responsible. As the global community seeks solutions to climate change and resource depletion, BREEAM offers a roadmap to a greener, more sustainable built environment that aligns with our planet's needs.
