BRE contributes to a thriving and sustainable world by developing science-led solutions to built environment challenges, making buildings better for people and for the environment.
We generate new knowledge through independent research. This is used to create the products, standards and qualifications that help make sure that buildings, homes and communities are safe, efficient, productive, sustainable and enjoyable places to be. Our customers use our expertise, and products and services to deliver their social, environmental and economic goals.
We are BRE
BRE has been raising the standards of the built environment since 1921, and in the last few years has grown significantly, through the achievements of our people and the acquisition of businesses with beliefs and goals aligned with our own.
BRE is a profit-for-purpose organisation. Any profits from BRE’s work go to the BRE Trust, which invests in research projects for the public benefit, or are invested in upgrading our research facilities at the BRE Science Park.
Influential but independent and with a heritage of scientific rigour for 100 years, we will play a key role over the next 100 years, as the world adapts to meet the challenges of climate change.
Our multi-disciplinary teams include leading experts – working in world-class facilities – in virtually every element of the built environment.
We operate internationally, with offices, representatives and partners around the globe, and at our Head Office and major facilities in the UK.
Our long heritage of putting progressive thinking into practice means that our customers and partners, wherever they are in the world, trust us to deliver.
