How we protect the rating

07
01
Feasibility before commitment

We test the target rating against the brief, budget and site before it is written into the contract, so that the project does not commit to a level it cannot reach, or settle for one it could have exceeded.

02
A live credit register

Every credit carries an owner, an evidence requirement and a status. The register is reviewed at each design stage, so nothing is discovered missing at submission.

03
Simulation as evidence

Energy, daylight and water credits are supported by our own models, produced in-house and consistent with the analysis used elsewhere on the project.

04
Construction-stage discipline

Material submittals, procurement records and site practices are reviewed against credit requirements while they can still be corrected.
