BREEAM Refurbishment & Fit-Out

A deep dive into BREEAM Refurbishment & Fit-Out

BREEAM Refurbishment & Fit Out is used to assess the environmental performance of both domestic and non-domestic building fit-outs and refurbishments, measuring key areas including the external fabric and structure, core services, local services, and interior design.

The scheme is split into various assessment parts to reflect which aspects of a building are tenant or landlord responsibilities, as well as the varied life cycle stages of each component or element.

Our team of BREEAM Assessors is deeply familiar with the requirements for BREEAM Refurbishment & Fit-Out compliance. We offer strategic advice from the initial planning phases, helping you make informed decisions that will significantly improve your existing build’s sustainability rating. By getting involved early, we ensure that your project is well-positioned to secure those all-important BREEAM credits.

  • We have been delighted with the service from Encon Associates throughout and for their help in achieving a BREEAM Very Good rating on both phases of our Bishop Auckland retail park project.

    The online IES TaP system meant I was able to keep a close eye on how things were progressing from start to finish – an excellent facility.

    Finally, thanks for your own personal contribution and guidance which was invaluable – very much appreciated.  I’d have no hesitation in recommending Encon Associates and look forward to working with you on future projects.

    Gordon Blackwood, Argon Properties
  • Working with Encon Associates on the construction of the Heritage Skills Centre within the grounds of Lincoln castle has been a most enjoyable and rewarding experience.

    The use of IESTaP project made monitoring completion of the credits far more visible and as project manager I was able to obtain reports very easily. Glenn managed the BREEAM process in an efficient manner, providing the right level of face-to-face interaction.

    There is nothing but praise for Glenn’s efforts and determination and I would use this organisation as a BREEAM consultant on future projects.

    Angela Cobb, Mouchel Advisory and Project Services
  • We have now worked with Encon Associates for 3 years and have an excellent relationship with them – we would highly recommend them to any size organisations as they have the capability to work small or large scale.

    The scope of skills/services that Encon Associates provide are fantastic, kept all neatly under one roof, which again is a bonus when coordinating our developments.

    May our great relationship continue in to the future.

Frequently asked questions about BREEAM

Want to know more about the benefits of BREEAM certification?
BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method. Founded by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) in 1990, it has grown into a globally recognised standard and is now used in over 70 countries to assess the sustainability of buildings and infrastructure.
A BREEAM Pre-Assessment is an initial evaluation conducted early in the project planning phase. It helps identify potential sustainability credits and opportunities for improvement, ensuring your project is well-positioned to achieve the best possible BREEAM rating.
Achieving high ratings like ‘Excellent’ or ‘Outstanding’ requires careful planning and early integration of sustainability measures across all nine BREEAM categories. Engaging with a BREEAM Assessor early on in the process and conducting BREEAM pre-assessments will help you achieve your desired rating.
BREEAM certification is not mandatory for all developments. However, many local planning authorities, stakeholders, and clients may require BREEAM certification to demonstrate a building’s commitment to sustainability – particularly for larger commercial and public sector projects.
No, BREEAM is not limited to the UK. While it was originally developed in the UK, BREEAM is now an internationally recognised standard used in over 70 countries worldwide to assess the sustainability of buildings and infrastructure.
