How we can help
With our products and services, we help solve built environment challenges.
Net zero, climate change & sustainability
We believe that greater sustainability and its many benefits can be achieved for all buildings, homes, organisations and communities. Here is how:
BREEAM
BREEAM is the world’s leading science-based suite of validation and certification systems for a sustainable built environment.
BREEAM Infrastructure
The world’s first sustainability rating scheme for improving the design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure assets.
Construction site management
SmartWaste is the leading environmental social and governance (ESG) platform for the built environment.
Strategic advisory
We work with national and local government, commercial and not-for-profit organisations to address defining challenges in the built environment.
Environmental product declaration (EPD)
An EPD is used to quantifiably demonstrate the environmental performance of construction products and to enable the evaluation and bench marking of whole buildings in the UK and across the globe.
Modular standard
Our BPS 7014 standard defines best practices for modular off-site construction assessment and will specify performance and verification requirements for offsite modular building systems in the UK residential construction.
Building safety & fire
Safety must be the primary concern of everyone designing, constructing, managing and maintaining buildings, communities and infrastructure. We offer a wide range of services to help ensure that safety risks are minimised, and regulatory requirements are met.
Fire investigation
We have more than fifty years of experience in research and fire investigation, and one of the largest and most advanced fire experimental facilities in the UK. We investigate fires to learn lessons and improve regulations, and to examine the performance of buildings and the management of incidents.
Security testing & certification
Correctly specifying approved building security systems and products, and using design and management strategies to reduce crime, terrorist attacks and anti-social behaviour are among the issues we can help you with.
Expert witness
Our internationally recognised experts provide a seamless, multi-disciplinary approach to the resolution of technical disputes, technical arbitration and bespoke expert witness services.
Efficiency & data science
We provide insights through data driven services, information management and better construction practices to improve poor housing, tackle fuel poverty, target energy improvements and investment.

Air quality, lighting, noise & thermal comfort
The positive impacts of good quality air, lighting and comfort on the health, wellbeing and productivity of building users are now well established. We help building developers, owners, manager and occupants to ensure that their buildings and communities meet regulatory requirements.
Environment
The environment team offers product/system testing (ventilation systems, fans, heat pumps filters), advisory services (reactive & proactive), expert witness work, mock-up and environmental chamber testing and commercial & collaborative research.
