BREEAM Certification Consulting

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification is one of the world’s most authoritative and widely used systems for assessing and certifying the sustainability of buildings and infrastructure. Established in the United Kingdom in 1990, BREEAM is used in over 50 countries and is recognized as a standard of environmental, social, and economic excellence in the construction industry.

Through Ollum’s BREEAM certification consulting services, we support clients, engineering firms, and contractors throughout the entire certification process—from strategic planning to final inspections—to turn sustainability into a competitive advantage.

The Benefits of BREEAM Certification

Here’s why you should choose the BREEAM protocol for your project:

Market Value and Attractiveness

A BREEAM-certified building demonstrates superior performance in terms of sustainability, efficiency, and occupant well-being. Buildings with recognized certification attract investors and occupants, enhance brand reputation, and facilitate faster transactions on more favorable terms.

Subsidized Loans

Some financial institutions offer lower interest rates or products such as green mortgages to projects that aim to obtain certifications like BREEAM.

Reduction in Operating Costs

The BREEAM assessment process encourages design and management decisions that promote energy and water efficiency and the sustainable use of resources. These factors help reduce operating costs.

Customized BREEAM support for each stakeholder involved

BREEAM certification involves multiple stakeholders, both during the design phase and the construction phase. Ollum offers:

BREEAM support for the client: defining the BREEAM strategy, selecting the certification level (Pass, Good, Very Good, Excellent, Outstanding), and incorporating the requirements into the specifications and contracts
BREEAM support for architecture and engineering firms: technical assistance during the design phase, translating BREEAM categories, prerequisites, and credits into concrete and measurable design solutions
BREEAM support for construction companies and general contractors: management of requirements related to materials, traceability, construction site waste, environmental plans, and the collection of supporting documentation for the assessment, including operational coordination through to final certification
