Certifying your house or building is a way to ensure quality and sustainability to the values of a set group of standards. Not only does this introduce the idea of accountability in construction, but it provides a method for comparing performance values and measuring the true sustainability of a building. Each certification scheme is bound by different parameters and addresses different aspects of design and construction. In general, we advise our clients to certify their buildings for the following reasons:

1. Due to additional control over design and construction, the quality of the resulting construction is a lot higher.
2. A certified building has a much higher market value than a non-certified one.

There are three certification schemes here in Italy with which we are particularly experienced with. Please click on the certification logos to learn more about them.
