Key Advantages for the Assessor

  • Access your projects online, including all submitted evidence, from any computer or device with an Internet connection.
  • Your project is setup with a fully organised credit system based on the assessment scheme, so you can see what evidence is required along with guidance via the relevant Code or BREEAM manual.
  • Allocate responsibility for providing evidence to the project team, either individual members or an organisation, allowing the assessor to ensure that evidence is provided in a timely manner, and ensure no duplication of evidence occurs.
  • Receive instant email notifications when an evidence document has been uploaded.
  • Update the progress of the project easily.
  • Visually view the progress of the project, at a top level and down through each assessment section and criteria.
  • Approve or reject evidence documents, again with instant email notifications to the team member responsible - saving time. All comments are audited and visible in one place.
  • All evidence documents are stored under the relevant section and can be downloaded for submission.
  • No more loss of evidence through either the post, emails going in to spam, or consultants indicating information transactions that have not been carried out.
  • IES TaP is fully integrated into the BRE QA process
    - Submit your projects for QA, receive QA feedback and download your certificate all from within TaP
  • No separate report required for QA
    - BREEAM 2008 final reports are generated & uploaded automatically in a format required by BRE
    - BREEAM 2011 - no report writing necessary, just evidence referencing
  • No need to supply the evidence documents to the BRE via CD or uploading to the BRE
    - BRE QA can access all approved and referenced documents directly from your submitted report
  • Speeds up the submission and QA process.
  • Dedicated area for storing calculator tools.
  • In our experience, all of the above allows the assessor to realistically take on more projects over and above their current maximum.

Key Advantages for the Client

  • Live tracking of information and tracking of project teams progress
  • All project information, including evidence submitted, can be viewed online, in one place.

  • Credits allocated to individual members or organisations so no duplication of evidence occurs
  • No more hardcopies, all information is submitted digitally with maximum speed

  • Automated e mail response system that monitors all activity within the portal, this will ensure timelines are met and disputes minimised
  • No upload file limits this prevents users hitting their email send limits e.g. 10mb
  • Easier upload/transfer of information, from anywhere with an internet connection, meaning information can be submitted as soon as it is available with no more lost emails or emails going in to spam.
  • SSL encrypted portal to ensure security at all times, especially in the case of sensitive schemes such as BREEAM Prisons or Courts
  • All of the above will ultimately save the client and the project team time and money
