Building with Nature Accreditation Fees Update

From 1st February 2025, Building with Nature (BwN) will introduce updated accreditation fees and revised payment arrangements.

This marks the first fee adjustment since October 2022 and only the second since BwN’s launch in 2018. The changes will support continued investment in BwN, including enhanced support for Approved Assessors. In making this update, we have carefully considered the need to sustain the Building with Nature mission while maintaining value for clients and ensuring the long-term success of BwN.

Alongside the fee revision, we are streamlining the payment process to make invoicing simpler for Approved Assessors and clients. The key changes include:

• For Design and Policy Awards: A single invoice will now be issued upon assessment submission, eliminating the payment stage at the Award Decision.

• For Full Awards: 80% of the accreditation fee will be invoiced at submission, with the remaining 20% due upon submission of the post-construction check, prior to the final ‘signed off’ Award Decision.
