Green Building Rating Tool Documentation Support

Dewick & Associates provide specialist Green Building Rating Tool documentation support for contractors delivering projects targeting Green Star (Green Building Council of Australia – GBCA), BREEAM (British Research Establishment – BRE), and LEED (U.S. Green Building Council – USGBC) certification.

Our Chartered Engineers and Technical Writing Team manage the complex process of compiling, verifying, and structuring sustainability evidence to support submission-ready, auditable documentation aligned with certification requirements.

Overview of Green Building Rating Systems

Green building rating systems provide structured frameworks for assessing the environmental performance of buildings across their lifecycle.

While each scheme differs in geography and structure:

they all require robust, traceable evidence to demonstrate compliance across design, construction, and operational stages.  Incorrect or incomplete documentation can result in credits being rejected or delayed during assessment.

How Dewick & Associates Support Contractors

Green Star, BREEAM, and LEED documentation is highly detailed and requires coordination across multiple subcontractors, consultants, and suppliers. It requires coordination across multiple trades, suppliers, and consultants, often with inconsistent or incomplete data.  Contractors are responsible for delivering verified, traceable evidence to demonstrate compliance with allocated sustainability credits. This typically includes:

We support this process by structuring and coordinating sustainability evidence based on the project credit matrix, ensuring documentation is complete, traceable, and aligned with assessment requirements.

Our Approach

Without complete and correctly structured evidence, credits may be rejected, which can affect the overall project rating. Our engineering-led approach integrates detailed knowledge of building services systems with the documentation requirements of certification schemes. We provide:

Integration into O&M manuals, Commissioning Plans, and Building User Guides

Unlike purely administrative support providers, our team consists of Chartered Engineers and Technical Writers who understand both building services systems and certification requirements, ensuring submissions are technically accurate and audit-ready.

Why Contractors Use Dewick & Associates
