Beyond Excellent: achieving an outstanding BREEAM rating

The BRE has recently undertaken the most dramatic overhaul in the BREEAM system's history. This means a greater focus on designing and delivering genuinely sustainable buildings. In this workshop you will gain first-hand information from the BRE on how to maximise your credits and achieve the rating you want with in the budget you have.

• Achieving a better link from design through to the construction and delivery to ensure targets are met
• Maximising credits in a commercially viable way
• What are the extra costs associated with raising your BREEAM rating?
• Outlining further planned changes to the system and what they mean for you
• How specific wording and evidence gathering at construction can help ensure you deliver what was set out at design
