BEAMPLUS Consultant
John Herbert is the principal and a recognised Green Building professional
being invloved with the development of BEAM and BEAM PLUS for more than
a decade.
John has been closely involved with the development of BEAM green building and assessment for more than a decade. He said "Too often the necessary expertise, including BEAM consultants are engaged too late in the process, many times after BD approvals have been obtained, immediately limiting the chance to influence the design"
"It is really important to appoint the BEAM consultant as soon as possible" Herbert said.
"....the entire design team, contractors, and specialists need to be engaged and involved in the development process, from day one."
It is a fact the our material resources finite, some types ore once
used for the production of steel are already exhausted.
Therefore, we should be encouraging more design time, not less,
using fewer materials that will be recycled after use. There is
no point using materials on the basis that it could recycled, if the
infrastructure does not exist.
In turn that means compensating the design team, contractors and
specialists in new and different ways, not as present based
lowest bid = least time model.
