Interior fit-out, measured.
Sustainability, proven.
The industry standard for sustainable design, delivery and operation of interiors.
SKArating is the only assessment method built specifically for interior fit-outs – steering, measuring and benchmarking the environmental, social & wellbeing, and economic & value outcomes of a project from design through to operation.
Developed by the industry, for the industry, it gives every project a clear, independently assessed rating of Bronze, Silver or Gold – so good practice is never just a claim, it’s evidenced.
SCHEMES
SKArating schemes are built around the sectors that need them, and the three pillars every sustainable outcome depends on. Whichever pillar you are measuring, work to good practice criteria developed with – and for – the interior fit-out industry and your sector’s unique patterns and impacts.
