PROJECT
What is it?
12 project specific criteria making it more accessible than the full benchmark and relevant to a singular project.
Who is this for?
NextGeneration Project is designed for any homebuilder to use to assess the sustainability of an individual development.
It is an excellent process to support a homebuilder initially assess the sustainability of a development, and if used consistently for each new development it can track the improvement in sustainability performance of developments. The criteria largely align with the criteria within NextGeneration Core and therefore as a homebuilder starts to collect their sustainability data for projects using NextGeneration Project, they can then more easily transition to reporting on their corporate sustainability performance and across all developments in NextGeneration Core.
Criteria
