Rating-route review
Identify the project type, development stage and relevant rating system.
IGBC CERTIFICATION — READINESS & GUIDANCE
Plan around your building project.
Link measures to supporting records.
UNDERSTAND THE ASSESSMENT
IGBC offers rating systems for different building and development contexts. Project registration starts the journey; a rating follows assessment against the applicable requirements. We help organise the project information and preparation scope so the team can distinguish registration, design-stage precertification where available and final certification.
PLAN THE RIGHT SUPPORT
Identify the project type, development stage and relevant rating system.
Organise drawings, calculations and proposed sustainability measures.
Prepare a practical record of the measures actually delivered.
Coordinate available evidence and responses to review observations.
Choose the preparation work around the actual building.
Connect proposed measures with supporting records.
Keep registration and an awarded rating distinct.
Review the applicant, assessment route and evidence needed for your case.
Check the relevant IGBC rating system and current project requirements.
Identify owners, designers and contributors responsible for evidence.
Review mandatory requirements and the credit evidence applicable to the project.
Confirm the current programme or standard requirements for the particular application.
Start with your organisation, product or project and the assessment objective.
This is a starting checklist. Final requirements depend on your profile and the relevant filing procedure. Do not submit identity documents through the general enquiry form.
Confirm the building type, stage and rating objective.
Stage 1
Identify the appropriate system and required evidence.
Stage 2
Collect relevant design and implementation records.
Stage 3
Address observations and organise the evidence for the applicable review stage.
Stage 4
The project stage affects the records available.
Final review needs evidence of delivered measures.
Review cycles and responses influence the overall schedule.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
| Stage | Purpose | Key distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Begins the project’s programme journey. | Does not itself award a green-building rating. |
| Precertification | Reviews design-stage intent where offered. | Is not the same as a final rating of implementation. |
| Final certification | Assesses the applicable final submission. | Depends on the project evidence and programme decision. |
IGBC controls its ratings and mark-use permissions. Trade Innovation provides agreed preparation support and does not grant a rating or guarantee a particular level.
