documents
THE PEARL RATING PROCESSAll Pearl RatingsStep 1: Register the development with Estidama for the relevant Pearl Rating System. Each project will be provided with a unique identification number.
Step 2: Appoint a PQP to facilitate the rating process and co-ordinate the submission.
Step 3: Conduct workshops in compliance with the Estidama Integrated Development Process (EIDP) with facilitation by the PQP (compliant with IDP-R1).
THE PEARL RATING PROCESSPearl Design RatingStep DR4: Review and update credit submissions on a regular basis throughout the design process.
Step DR5: Issue the final design credit submissions to Estidama at the end of the construction documentation stage.
Step DR6: The submission will be reviewed by a Pearl Assessor, who may request clarifications or additional information from the PQP as necessary.
Step DR7: The Pearl Assessor will award a Pearl Design Rating based on the credits achieved by the development.
THE PEARL RATING PROCESSPearl Construction RatingStep CR4: Review and update credit submissions on a regular basis throughout the construction process.Step CR5: Issue the final construction credit submissions to Estidama after construction is complete.Step CR6: The submission will be reviewed by a Pearl Assessor, who may request clarifications or additional information from the PQP. Estidama reserves the right to undertake on-site verification if deemed necessary.Step CR7: The Pearl Assessor will award a Pearl Construction Rating based on the credits achieved by the development.
THE PEARL RATING PROCESSAll Pearl Operational RatingTwo years following construction completion, once a building has reached a minimum occupancy of 80%, submissions can be made for the Pearl Operational Rating. The process for achieving a Pearl Operational Rating is set out in the separate Pearl Operational RatingSystem (currently under development).
