Thank you to all of you that have come forward so far to register your interest for the Offices v2 scheme update. We are now able to share more details of how we will go about the scheme update.
We will be hosting themed workshops on each of the SKArating categories through March and April. The workshops will be to review the key themes to be covered by the category in the update, the relevance and appropriateness of the Good Practice Measures and the principles for updates.
The dates and locations are:
| Workshop | Date | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Energy & CO2 | 20th March ’24 2pm | Morgan Lovell, 16 Noel Street, London, W1F 8DA |
| Project Delivery | 26th March ’24 2pm | Overbury, 77 Newman Street, London, W1T 3EW |
| Strategic Outcomes & Whole Life Impact | 3rd April ’24 2pm | Overbury, 17 Gresse Street, London, W1T 1QL |
| Pollution | 4th April ’24 2pm | Morgan Lovell, 16 Noel Street, London, W1F 8DA |

| Wellbeing | 17th April ’24 2pm | Gleeds, Interchange Place, 151-165 Edmund Street, Birmingham, B3 2TA |
Each category will be updated by a group of specialists covering all phases of the project lifecycle to ensure the SKArating Offices v2 represents good practice from across the sector, and will be overseen by the SKArating Technical Committee.
We’d like the groups to have representation from all parts of the fit-out supply chain, but as a minimum:
Our timelines for the update and release of Offices v2 are:
- Stakeholder workshops – Mar – April 24
- Research and updates to GPMs – Apr – Aug 24
- Public consultation – Sept 24
- Go live – Nov 24
SKArating is your tool to drive sustainable fit-out, and we’d like as much of your expertise and experience as possible to put SKArating Offices back at the leading edge of the industry. If you haven’t already done so, please register your interest in being part of the workshops and update team at the link below.
