How it Works
Discovery & Feasibility Assessment
We begin with a review of your project goals, design intent and sustainability aspirations. This includes a preliminary gap analysis to determine the best-fit certification path and feasibility of compliance.
Strategy & Advisory
We develop a tailored green building strategy aligned with certification requirements. This includes setting performance targets, advising the design team and identifying cost-effective sustainability measures.
Modelling & Documentation Support
Our team supports or carries out the required modelling (e.g., energy, water, daylight) and prepares technical documentation for submission. We coordinate with consultants to ensure all inputs meet the standard.
Certification Management
We manage the entire certification process - from registration to audit coordination and submission - serving as a liaison between the project team and certifying bodies.
Post-Certification & ESG Integration
After certification we help showcase achievements, support ESG reporting and explore ongoing performance monitoring or recertification strategies to future-proof your asset.
Our Awards
Our team comprises highly skilled environmental and building services engineers with global accreditations in LEED, EDGE, WELL, Green Star and TRUE Waste, ensuring best-in-class sustainability solutions tailored to Africa’s unique challenges. At UGC, we are reshaping the future of African cities—one green building at a time.
