Long turnaround cycles
Teams lose time waiting for quantity extraction, material mapping, report formatting, and review loops.
Technology-enabled LCA and WLCA delivery
Planning-ready carbon assessments in days, not consultant timelines.
LCAsolutions helps project teams benchmark, prepare, and issue life cycle carbon assessments with fixed scope, transparent assumptions, deterministic calculations, and expert review.
01
Benchmark against incumbent consultants
02
Trace every high-impact assumption
03
Keep judgement reviewed, not buried
The consultant bottleneck
Carbon assessments should not wait on repetitive manual production work.
Consultant pricing on repeatable work
Expert time is valuable, but too much of the fee is spent on standardised production tasks.
Assumptions hidden in the pack
Fallback factors, exclusions, data gaps, and judgement calls are often difficult to inspect quickly.
Benchmark pilot
Give us one assessment scope. Compare us against the incumbent.
Send an upcoming brief or redacted deliverable. We will price a controlled pilot with a faster turnaround target and a transparent assumptions ledger so your team can compare cost, speed, quality, and clarity.
- 01 Share scope and available project information.
- 02 Lock deliverables, standards, exclusions, and review rounds.
- 03 Receive the report pack and compare it against current delivery.
Deliverables
Outputs built for planning, procurement, and internal project decisions.
Planning-ready report
RICS-aligned whole life carbon outputs and GLA-template-ready packs where the project requires them.
Assumptions ledger
Material mappings, fallback factors, exclusions, data gaps, and high-impact unknowns made visible.
Calculation evidence pack
Traceable quantities, factors, modules, source references, and versioned calculation outputs.
Reduction options
Targeted opportunities across structure, facade, concrete, recycled content, reuse, MEP, and end-of-life scenarios.
Methodology
The slow layer is standardised. The judgement stays reviewed.
Our workflow is designed to make every calculation reproducible, every assumption visible, and every client-facing output ready for scrutiny.
Collect project data
Drawings, BoQs, BIM schedules, material specs, EPDs, planning context, and previous consultant outputs.
Normalise quantities
Materials are mapped into assessment categories with source tracking and confidence scoring.
Run deterministic logic
Factors, modules, life cycles, transport, waste, replacement, and end-of-life assumptions are applied consistently.
Issue a checked pack
Outputs are reviewed for gaps, hotspots, methodology fit, exclusions, and client-facing clarity.
Procurement-ready
Fast delivery without making compliance feel flimsy.
Fixed scope, agreed deliverables, and controlled revision rounds.
Clear data handling, access control, and client file separation.
Established trading route available where buyer onboarding requires it.
Transparent assumptions rather than hidden black-box outputs.
Expert review focused where judgement actually matters.
Commercial model
Start with a controlled pilot, then scale into repeat delivery.

The questions serious buyers ask first.
Which standards can the assessment align to?
We scope each project against the required method, commonly including RICS WLCA, EN 15978, GLA-style templates, BREEAM/NZC requirements, or client-specific reporting formats.
What information do you need to start?
Useful inputs include drawings, area schedules, BoQs, BIM exports, material specifications, EPDs, MEP notes, project stage, and any previous consultant report you want benchmarked.
How fast can a pilot be delivered?
Turnaround depends on input quality and scope. The promise is measured from complete data received, with a clear target agreed before the project starts.
Is this AI generated?
The workflow is technology-enabled, but calculations are deterministic and final outputs are expert reviewed. We use automation to reduce repetitive handling, not to hide judgement.
What does expert reviewed mean?
A reviewer checks methodology fit, high-impact assumptions, gaps, exclusions, hotspots, and whether the issued pack is clear enough for planning, procurement, or internal decision-making.
