Skansen has led the fit out industry in championing environmental good practice. Over the last 5 years we have led a programme focused on affirming environmental good practice within the UK fit out market. The result of this programme is the Ska Rating which is now owned and administered by the RICS and rapidly becoming established as the industry standard for measuring environmental good practice on fit out and refurbishment projects.Unlike other assessment methods, Ska Rated projects are only scored against the good practice measures relevant to the scope, that can be influenced by the project team. This makes the tool more accurate, cost effective and relevant compared to BREEAM and LEED, whilst producing the same end results.
With a team of in house RICS Accredited Ska Rating Assessors, Skansen can provide expert guidance on environmental good practice during the pre-construction and construction phases of projects. Our skill set however is not limited to Ska. Our teams also deliver BREEAM and LEED assessed projects, supporting all good practice regardless of the label.

The 104 good practice measures identified within the Ska Rating cover every aspect or scope of work for a typical fitting out project. Not only do they form the backbone of the Ska Rating scoring systems, representing current Best Practice, but they are also enshrined within Skansen company procedures. Many are carried out as a matter of course on all Skansen projects, and we have the expertise to advise and work with our client and their adviserson many of the following environmental issues:
- Energy & CO2
- Waste
- Water
- Materials
- Pollution
- Wellbeing
- Transport
At the outset of every project Skansen can advise the client and the professional team of all the environmental aspects of the project and how to minimise its environmental impact, in order that an accredited RICS Ska Rating can be obtained.
