BREEAM Consultancy

Practical BREEAM support to help project teams navigate certification requirements with confidence.

Di Marco Carbon provides independent BREEAM consultancy across a range of project types and certification pathways. From early-stage strategy and BREEAM Accredited Professional support through to Mat 01 Life Cycle Assessments and third-party reviews, the focus is on delivering clear, proportionate advice that helps maximise achievable credits while supporting wider project sustainability objectives.

Technical Approach

BREEAM support is delivered with a focus on practicality, collaboration and early engagement. The objective is not simply to collect credits, but to identify opportunities that genuinely support project sustainability goals while aligning with programme, budget and certification requirements.

Services may draw upon:

  • BREEAM New Construction

  • BREEAM Non-Domestic Refurbishment & Fit-Out (NDRFO)

  • BREEAM Accredited Professional (AP) guidance

  • BREEAM Mat 01 Life Cycle Assessment methodology

  • BRE Guidance Notes and technical manuals

  • RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment for the Built Environment (2nd Edition)

  • Relevant planning authority sustainability requirements

  • UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard

  • LETI guidance and embodied carbon benchmarks

  • Project-specific sustainability objectives and certification targets

Life Cycle Assessments are typically undertaken using One Click LCA, helping project teams assess, benchmark and demonstrate carbon performance in support of BREEAM Mat 01 and wider sustainability objectives. Support can be provided throughout the certification process, from early-stage strategy and evidence planning through to independent technical review and submission support.

Why Might BREEAM Support Be Required?

BREEAM requirements are often introduced at an early stage of a project, but many credits rely on actions, evidence and decisions being made throughout the design and construction process. Early engagement can help project teams identify opportunities, avoid unnecessary risks and maximise achievable credits.

BREEAM support is commonly required for:

  • New construction developments pursuing BREEAM certification

  • Refurbishment and fit-out projects

  • Planning requirements linked to sustainability performance

  • BREEAM Mat 01 Life Cycle Assessment credits

  • Sustainable procurement and responsible sourcing requirements

  • Early-stage sustainability workshops and pre-assessments

  • Credit reviews and certification gap analysis

  • Independent technical review of Mat 01 assessments

  • Design team coordination and evidence collection

  • Projects targeting Excellent or Outstanding ratings

  • Client ESG and sustainability objectives

  • Occupier and investor sustainability requirements

A well-managed BREEAM strategy can help project teams identify achievable credits early, reduce certification risk and support wider sustainability objectives throughout the project lifecycle.
