Appropriately Qualified Professional and BREEAM Accredited Professional

A BREEAM AP does not automatically meet all aspects of the ‘appropriately qualified professional’ role defined under the Quality improvement issue.

HQM assessors are currently the only people recognised as fulfilling the HQM knowledge and experience aspect of the ‘appropriately qualified professional’ role, for the purposes of this issue.

However, this role can be fulfilled by more than one person. The main intention of these credits is to ensure the outcomes outlined in the criteria are fulfilled by an appropriate person throughout the project. It is recognised that this will often require input from multiple people given the range of responsibilities and the competencies outlined in the appropriately qualified professional definition.
