Scope of the BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 scheme version

The BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 scheme can be used to assess the environmental life cycle impacts of new non-domestic buildings at the design and construction stages. 'New Construction' is defined as development that results in a new standalone structure, or new extension to an existing structure, which will come into operation or use for the first time upon completion of the works.

This BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 scheme version is applicable to new non-domestic buildings in the United Kingdom only.
