Process And Cost Information:

Project teams will work closely with a BREEAM licensed assessor through the whole process. First, the BREEAM standard is chosen based on project type. The BREEAM assessor will help register the project. Once registered, collect all relevant information and documentation. The assessor will review this and then send to the certification body for a final decision. 

The costs for a BREEAM Certification includes a registration fee as well as the cost of working with a licensed BREEAM assessor.
