Verify a Project

The Envision framework is an effective project planning and design tool. Our independent, third-party project verification and awards program sets out a transparent process to confirm that a project meets the sustainability criteria in the Envision framework.

Envision verification helps to:

  • Instill community confidence that the project addresses their needs and concerns.
  • Instill ratepayer or tax-payer confidence that their money is being spent in their best interest.
  • Demonstrate the sustainable achievements of the project are recognized and considered noteworthy by an independent, internationally recognized system.
  • Motivate project teams to collaborate to achieve better outcomes.
  • Provide an objective measure of sustainable performance and draws attention to the good work being undertaken.

Envision verification is available to all types and sizes of physical infrastructure:

There are many reasons why projects choose to go through the Envision verification process:

  • An infrastructure owner or regulator may require it.
  • Public agencies may want third-party confirmation of project achievements for the public good.
  • Organizations may use the verification process as a learning tool, a process for accountability, and/or to calibrate their internal project assessments and application of Envision.
  • Agencies and private companies may pursue verification for the public recognition it brings to their commitment to sustainable infrastructure.
