First Milestone: WELL Precertification
WELL Precertification
WELL Pre-Certification offers formal recognition of your project’s wellness strategies before construction or renovation is complete.
It helps align teams, supports leasing and marketing efforts, and provides early validation that your project is on the right track towards the WELL Certification.
1 / Meet the requirements of Prerequisites
Prerequisites are the foundational requirements that a project must meet in order to qualify for WELL Certification.
They establish the minimum standards for health, well-being, and environmental impact
that must be addressed before earning full certification.
2 / Achieve minimum points in each Concept
For a WELL v2 Core project to be awarded precertification, the team must submit documentation
that achieves at least 1 point in each Concept.
For a all other projects to be awarded precertification, the team must submit documentation
that achieves at least 2 points in each Concept.
3 / Project Documentation
There are two stages of WELL documentation: Intent-stage and Implementation-stage.
Intent-stage documentation represents early-stage design or plans for a program, policy or operations protocol.
Implementation-stage documentation represents the as-built or implemented conditions.
Both stages of documentation must contain sufficient detail to demonstrate compliance with the relevant features.
4 / Achieve required points across all Concepts
WELL Core projects are required to achieve minimum of 40,
while all other projects are required to achieve the minimum of 50 points across all Concepts.
