99% documentation quality on a BREEAM project: How Seltor did it.<\/p><\/h1><\/div>

<\/div>

On the Filipstad Brygge revitalisation project in Oslo, general contractor Seltor achieved something very few BREEAM projects manage: a 99.1% assessment rate across 4,991 products<\/b><\/span>, 549 chemicals under control<\/b><\/span>, and 46 subcontractors consistently submitting documentation through the same system<\/b><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

The project and the numbers<\/strong><\/h2><\/h3><\/div>

Filipstad Brygge 1 is a major revitalisation project for Storebrand Asset Management in central Oslo. Both buildings are being certified under BREEAM In-Use, but the client has selected different requirement sets in Cobuilder: Building A uses the BREEAM-NOR 2016 filter<\/b><\/span> (with requirements for product documentation, hazard labelling and substitution obligations), while Building B is assessed against chemical requirements and the EU Taxonomy<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Four principles \u2013 and the sequence that ties them together<\/b><\/p><\/h3><\/div>

When we asked Kanwar Pankaj, Environmental Manager at Seltor, about the key to their success, he highlighted four things they do consistently \u2013 not just at Filipstad Brygge, but across all their projects:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cobuilder is the standard, not an add-on<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

The use of Cobuilder is a contractual requirement for all subcontractors and is communicated from the tendering and project start-up phases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Choose partners who are ready for digital workflows<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

Subcontractors who are willing to work digitally and comply with project requirements \u2013 a strategic selection criterion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Environmental Manager involved from day one<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

Continuous involvement throughout the project, combined with clear requirements in the client\u2019s Environmental Management Plan (MOP).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Use Collaborate actively in day-to-day operations<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

Weekly environmental inspections using the Cobuilder app \u2013 enabling real-time substitution and non-conformity management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A closer look: How Seltor puts Principle 1 into practice<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

At the outset, everything is clear: the building is to be BREEAM-certified. HEA 02 must be secured. The requirements are in place.<\/p>\n

Then the construction phase begins. Products are substituted. Deliveries are adjusted. Subcontractors make purchases. Questions start to arise: Does the product have the correct emissions documentation? Does it meet the VOC requirements? Where is the documentation \u2013 and who has the full overview?<\/p>\n

What was supposed to be about indoor air quality quickly turns into a puzzle of PDFs, emails and manual follow-ups. Not because of a lack of commitment, but because the flow of information is not structured.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The other three principles \u2013 and the sequence that ties them together<\/h3>\n

Real-world examples from Filipstad Brygge, insights from Kanwar, and a practical checklist you can take into your next project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

When all subcontractors work in the same system, control improves, risk is reduced, and project delivery becomes more efficient.<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

Kanwar Pankaj<\/strong> \u00b7<\/p>\n

Environmental Manager, Seltor<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

It\u2019s not the principles that matter most. It\u2019s the sequence.<\/p><\/h3><\/div>

When we asked Kanwar for his best advice to other contractors, his answer came down to five practical steps. What surprised us most wasn\u2019t the advice itself \u2013 it was the order in which he gave it.<\/p>\n

Getting the sequence right means having standards in place before contracts are signed. It means connecting subcontractors to the project before products are brought in. And it means defining roles and responsibilities before the first environmental inspection. Reverse that order, and the project faces an uphill battle for the rest of the construction phase.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve brought together all five recommendations in the exact sequence Kanwar follows \u2013 along with the details from Filipstad Brygge 1 \u2013 in the full customer story.<\/p>\n<\/div>
