When your project carries a contractual obligation to achieve a specific BREEAM rating, having a specialist BREEAM consultant on your side removes guesswork, cuts wasted effort and keeps the assessment on schedule.
At Build Energy we combine hands‑on site knowledge with assessor‑level insight, helping contractors, developers and design teams present robust, BRE‑compliant evidence first time.
Why Engage a Dedicated BREEAM Consultant?
-
Independent assurance – A consultant spots gaps or errors before the evidence reaches the client‑side assessor, avoiding rejected submissions and costly delays.
-
Time and cost savings – Clear guidance on what is (and isn’t) needed means your team spends less time chasing paperwork and more time building.
-
Confidence for the whole team – Knowing that an experienced professional has pre‑checked every document builds certainty that the target rating will be met.
How We Support Main Contractors
The main contractor is usually the assessor’s primary contact, responsible for collating and delivering a large volume of evidence. We streamline that process by:
Reviewing and Validating Core Evidence
This may include:
- Site Waste Management Plans & recycling reports
- Sustainability roles and responsibilities matrix
- Indoor Air Quality plans, VOC declarations & post‑construction test results
- Commissioning certificates, surveys and thermal imaging
- Certification for responsibly sourced materials (FSC®, PEFC, BES 6001)
- Procurement records & Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)
- Time‑stamped photographic evidence of installations
- Meeting minutes, letters and other correspondence
Acting as Your Technical Liaison
We can handle day‑to‑day queries with the client‑side assessor, translate BRE criteria into clear actions for site teams and track credit progress so nothing slips through the cracks.
Faster Credit Allocation, Fewer Headaches
By delivering clean, complete evidence packs, our consultants give the assessor confidence to award credits quickly. That keeps certification programmes on track and protects project milestones – especially important when BREEAM ratings are linked to contractual incentives or funding conditions.
