BREEAM

Proven at the highest ratings

We have more than 50 BREEAM projects live or recently completed. These include a number of projects at BREEAM Outstanding, the scheme's highest rating, achieved by only a small proportion of UK buildings.

Current schemes targeting Outstanding and Excellent include the College of North West London's Wembley Campus, Glyn-Coch Primary School, Bishop Hedley RC All-Through School in Merthyr, Paddock SEND School and the redevelopment of Bath Fire Station.

A track record across every sector

Achieving a BREEAM Excellent or Outstanding rating can be particularly challenging in highly technical buildings, where complex operational and servicing requirements must be balanced with ambitious sustainability performance targets.

Our track record on embodied carbon optioneering and building performance optimisation, delivered through our Energy Synergy® service, can help customers achieve new credits available in version 7 of BREEAM.

A track record across every sector

• Healthcare and life sciences, Barnes Hospital, new-build inpatient facility, and laboratory and sterile-services environments including the Abbott Diabetes Centre and Swansea University's Institute of Life Science.
• Blue light and emergency services, Bath Fire Station (Outstanding), Hertfordshire Constabulary's HQ at Stanborough, Thames Valley Police's Forensic Laboratory, and police facilities in Cambridgeshire and Dorset.
• Education, from primary to university, Glyn-Coch, Bishop Hedley, Bassaleg, Caerleon and Perse schools, alongside Oxford Brookes University, Swansea University, Queen Mary University of London, and colleges in Bridgend, Somerset (Strode) and Crosskeys.
• Workplace and commercial, Sheffield's Fargate regeneration, 19 Cornwall Street, and 5 St Philips Place in Birmingham.

More than a single standard

Increasingly, customers want buildings certified against several frameworks at once.

We routinely deliver BREEAM alongside WELL (health and wellbeing), NABERS (measured energy performance in use), Passivhaus (fabric-first energy efficiency), Building with Nature (green infrastructure) and Net Zero Carbon in Operation.

Glyn-Coch Primary School carries five of these standards in a single scheme, Passivhaus, WELL, BREEAM Outstanding, Building with Nature and Net Zero Carbon in Operation, a combination very few contractors have delivered.

Experience and knowledge few can match

Our BREEAM pedigree is long and well documented. Landmark projects include:

• Bristol's first BREEAM Outstanding (2014) project, Cubex's Aurora office development at Finzels Reach.
• The UK headquarters of WWF, a BREEAM Outstanding building designed to use 67% less energy than a typical office.
• A new home for the Met Office's supercomputer in Exeter.
• The first BREEAM Outstanding healthcare facility - Houghton-le-Spring Urgent & Primary Care Centre, County Durham.
• The first non-domestic refurbishment and fit-out to achieve the 2014 BREEAM Excellent rating, and the first BREEAM Outstanding office fit-out refurbishment - No 4 The Square, Stockley Park.

National delivery, through construction and fit-out

We deliver BREEAM Excellent and Outstanding buildings across every region of England and Wales, through both our construction and interior fit-out businesses, so customers get the same depth of sustainability expertise wherever, and however, they build.
