The Edge is pleased to announce the publication of the Consultation Draft of ‘Competence frameworks for the built environmentCore criteria for sustainability competenceCode of practice

Working with Workstream 10 of the CIC’s Climate Change Committee, the support of the University College for Estate Management (UCEM) and an industry-wide Advisory Panel, the Edge has developed a draft Competence Framework for sustainability in the built environment. The Framework is a Seed Document for an eventual British Standard intended to form part of its BS 8670 Competence series and is being published for public consultation and comment.

The Standard covers all aspects of sustainability for built environment and infrastructure provision, including associated external and landscape works, for the full breadth of professions and trades in the sector. It is an overarching framework for the development of discipline-specific competency frameworks.
