Create healthier, more efficient, and environmentally responsible spaces with expert BREEAM certification consulting from Sustain Quality. Using our SQ Impact tools and assessment approach, we help property owners, developers, and businesses align their projects with internationally recognized green building standards.
Our expertise covers existing properties, refurbishment projects, interior fit out works, and new construction developments. We provide guidance for projects pursuing BREEAM In-Use International, BREEAM Refurbishment and Fit-Out International, and BREEAM New Construction International certifications.
From sustainability planning to performance assessment and compliance support, our team helps improve energy efficiency, environmental performance, and long term building value while supporting responsible development goals.
BREEAM-certified buildings typically consume significantly less energy and water than non-certified counterparts. Consequently, operating costs decrease over the building's lifetime, delivering a clear return on investment.
In addition to operational savings, BREEAM Certification increases the resale and rental value of a property. Buyers and tenants increasingly prioritise verified sustainability credentials when making decisions.
Furthermore, BREEAM Certification sets your building apart in a crowded market. It positions your development as a responsible, future-proof asset that aligns with global ESG targets and net-zero commitments.
BREEAM In-Use is an international certification scheme developed for existing buildings that are already occupied and fully operational. Instead of assessing a newly constructed property, it evaluates the real-time environmental performance, operational efficiency, and management practices of a building. This approach helps property owners and facility managers improve sustainability standards across their existing assets and portfolios.
The assessment follows a clear four-step process, outlined below:
First, we review the building’s operational performance, maintenance procedures, and current management practices. This helps identify areas where sustainability and efficiency can be improved.
Next, we develop practical strategies to optimise energy efficiency, waste reduction, water usage, and overall resource management. In addition, we support the implementation process to ensure all improvements align with certification requirements.
Once the recommended improvements are completed, we prepare and submit the required documentation for certification. Meanwhile, we closely monitor the assessment process to help achieve successful certification outcomes.
Finally, we track the building’s ongoing performance to support continuous improvement and maintain long-term sustainability standards.
Firstly, we assess the renovation or fit-out plans to identify opportunities for improving sustainability, efficiency, and overall design performance.
Next, we develop tailored solutions to optimise the use of materials, water, and energy throughout the renovation process. Moreover, these strategies are aligned with certification requirements to ensure compliance.
After implementation, we prepare and submit the project for certification. Meanwhile, we monitor each stage closely to ensure a smooth approval process and successful outcome.
Finally, even after certification, we continue to provide guidance and support for future refurbishments and adaptations, ensuring ongoing sustainability improvements over time.
From the initial phase, we helped define clear sustainability goals for the project.
We work together with architects and engineers to incorporate strategies for energy efficiency, resource management, and occupant well-being.
We support the entire certification process, from the planning phase to the construction and delivery of the building, ensuring that all sustainable practices are implemented and certified.
After certification, we continue to offer support to maintain the building's performance and facilitate future improvements.
