BREEAM pre-assessments and support

Planning conditions and clients often ask for a BREEAM rating such as Very Good or Excellent. The cost of hitting it depends almost entirely on how early the credits are planned into the design.

We run a pre-assessment to find the most cost-effective route to your target, coordinate the evidence from the design team, and deliver the energy, carbon and daylight inputs that many credits depend on.

When you'll need it

  • A planning condition requires a BREEAM rating
  • Funders or tenants require certification
  • Early design, to target the right credits
  • Refurbishment and fit-out projects

What's included

  • BREEAM pre-assessment and credit strategy
  • Cost-effective route to the target rating
  • Design team responsibilities and evidence tracker
  • Energy, carbon and daylight credit inputs
  • Progress reviews at key design stages

BREEAM support FAQs

Which BREEAM rating do I need?

It's set by your planning condition, funder or client. Very Good and Excellent are the most common targets. We'll confirm what's realistic for your scheme.

Why is a pre-assessment worth doing?

It shows which credits are cheapest to achieve and which need design decisions now. Starting late usually means paying more for the same rating.

Do you provide the energy and daylight inputs?

Yes. Energy, carbon, daylight and overheating inputs all come from our own assessments, so there's no gap between consultants.
