Embodied carbon modelling and BREEAM/LEED certification support, built into the BIM from day one.
Sustainability requirements are no longer a late-stage add-on — clients, regulators, and lenders increasingly expect embodied carbon figures and certification pathways to be part of the design conversation from concept stage. Our sustainability team models embodied carbon directly from the BIM, benchmarks it against RICS and industry baselines, and guides projects through BREEAM and LEED certification, so compliance is a natural output of the model rather than a separate report bolted on at the end.
Embodied carbon calculated directly from BIM quantities, not spreadsheet approximations.
BREEAM and LEED documentation structured for submission from the first design stage.
Benchmarked against RICS Professional Statement and RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge targets.
Carbon figures calculated directly from your BIM model, not a spreadsheet estimate.
Certification documentation structured for approval, not resubmission.
End-to-end BIM solutions that reduce risk and deliver projects on time.
NABH, JCI, and NABL-compliant hospital design and accreditation consulting — built into the BIM from day one.

Everything you need to know about our Sustainability & Carbon Compliance services.
Embodied carbon is the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with materials and construction — extraction, manufacturing, transport, and installation — as distinct from operational carbon released while a building is in use. As operational efficiency has improved, embodied carbon now represents a growing share of a building's total lifecycle footprint, and is increasingly required in planning submissions and lender due diligence.
Yes — this is the core of the service. We extract material quantities directly from the BIM model and map them to embodied carbon factors from recognised databases (ICE, EPDs), rather than requiring a separate manual takeoff. This keeps the carbon figure live as the design evolves, instead of a one-off snapshot.
Yes — we structure documentation and design reviews for both. BREEAM is more common on UK and Commonwealth projects, LEED on North American and many international ones; we confirm which is applicable at project kick-off and align the BIM deliverables accordingly.
As early as possible — ideally concept design. Retrofitting a certification pathway or reducing embodied carbon after key material and structural decisions are locked in is far more expensive and limited than designing with these targets from the outset.
Yes — we benchmark your design against RICS and RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge targets, then model design alternatives (material substitution, structural optimisation) to show which changes get you closest to the target and at what cost tradeoff.
We provide both — the BIM-derived quantities, embodied carbon reports, and documentation structured specifically for BREEAM or LEED submission, alongside guidance through the certification process itself.
