GGBS was initiated to promote environmental protection during a construction projects.
It is a measure of the builder's corporate social responsibility towards the environment and the public during the construction of the projects.
It aims to contribute to environmental protection during the construction of projects, set standards for sympathetic building practices, and increase adoption of productive construction methods that reduce public inconvenience.
The program is for certified builders involved in any construction work that may harm the environment or damage natural landmarks and aims to promote environmental responsibility during their work.
BCA Contractors registered with Grades A1, A2, B1 and B2 under CW01 and CW02 and those who wish to register in these Heads of Work/Grades must obtain BCA's Green and Gracious Building Scheme (GGBS) certification.
What is the difference between Green and Gracious Builder Scheme and Green and Gracious Builder Award? GGBS is a certificate program. Builders who meet the requirements are certified and awarded the Green and Compassionate Builder Award, which is usually presented at the annual BCA Awards.
