Begin your building’s sustainability journey with a BREEAM Pre-Assessment
Why choose us?
BREEAM Pre-Assessments are crucial for sustainable development, offering a valuable opportunity to integrate environmentally-friendly design within the initial planning stages.
BREEAM Pre-Assessment process
A deep dive into the BREEAM Pre-Assessment process
This preliminary evaluation assesses areas such as energy efficiency, water usage, and material selection, providing a clear forecast for how your building may score in the full BREEAM assessment. By conducting a BREEAM Pre-Assessment, you can make informed decisions about any design changes or other additional measures that may be required to achieve your desired BREEAM rating.
At Encon Associates, we are dedicated to helping architects, developers, and project managers achieve the highest BREEAM rating possible. Our expert BREEAM APs (Accredited Professionals) can carry out BREEAM Pre-Assessments for all building types, allowing us to determine the environmental impact of your development project before any on-site work begins. Our comprehensive Pre-Assessment reports provide actionable insights on improving your predicted BREEAM rating to ensure your project is a beacon of sustainability.
BREEAM Pre-Assessment vs full assessment
Key differences: BREEAM Pre-Assessment vs full assessment
A BREEAM Pre-Assessment is typically conducted during the early stages of a project i.e. the planning or design phases. Its primary purpose is to provide an initial forecast of the building’s environmental potential, allowing you to gauge which BREEAM rating your project may achieve. You will receive a Pre-Assessment report that allows you to set clear sustainability goals and identify areas for improvement.
Full BREEAM assessments occur later in the project’s life cycle, usually during the construction and post-construction stages. This assessment measures the building’s sustainability performance against set BREEAM criteria, reviewing areas such as energy efficiency and resource management. Upon completing, you will be awarded a final BREEAM certification with a rating from ‘Pass’ to ‘Outstanding’.
