What green building certifications does SEED help clients achieve?
We provide end-to-end certification facilitation for LEED (BD+C and O+M), IGBC (Green Homes, Green Building, Green Affordable Housing), and GRIHA rated projects. Our scope typically covers energy modeling, water balance calculations, sustainable material documentation, and the full compliance narrative and submission process required by each rating system.
What types of projects does SEED typically work with?
We work across residential, commercial, healthcare, institutional, and mixed-use developments. Depending on the project type and client goals, we guide clients through the appropriate certification pathway - IGBC Green Homes for residential projects, IGBC Green Building or LEED for commercial and institutional developments, and GRIHA where applicable for the Indian market.
How can you determine if SEED is the right consulting partner for your needs?
The best way to find out is to start with a conversation. We typically begin with a scoping call to understand your project type, sustainability and certification goals, and timeline. From there, we recommend the right certification pathway and outline how our team would support you through design, documentation, and final submission.
How long does the certification process usually take?
Timelines vary based on project complexity and certification level, but most projects move from design-stage compliance planning through construction tracking to final submission within several months to a couple of years. Involving us early in the design stage - rather than after construction is complete - significantly shortens the overall timeline.
What does the certification process and fee structure typically look like?
We start with a scoping call to understand your project. From there, we send a proposal outlining the recommended certification pathway, scope of work, and fees, based on your project's size, complexity, and target certification level. Our engagement typically spans design-stage compliance planning through final review and submission coordination.
Which regions does SEED Green Solutions operate in?
We are based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and support green building projects across India, including Gujarat, Kerala, and other states. We also work on select international projects using globally recognized frameworks such as LEED.
