Division manager LCA

Ruben van Gaalen

Exclusive

For each tender, we provide substantive guidance to one contractor.

Clear roles

Other parties we support only reviewing or verifying.

Information separation

Project data and calculations remain strictly separate.

Transparent

Our role is clearly aligned and defined in advance.

Independent

Advice and calculations are completely objective.

What happens

Guideline is published, requirements and criteria become clear.

What we offer

  • Guideline analysis (check requirements, pitfalls, opportunities)
  • Input for Clarification memorandum following the guideline analysis, with this we exclude risks
  • Intake & objective (define ambition: minimum ECI, EMVI, circular)
  • Strategic advice (opportunity map, where to win)

Policy framework

Exclusive guidance starts here – we choose which contractor we support substantively.

What happens

Data collection, initial calculations and variants testing.

What we offer

  • Inventory project data (quantities, specifications, SPDs, project-specific LCAs)
  • Hot spot analysis (biggest impact carriers, compare references)
  • Trial calculation (competitive or not?).
  • Indication EMVI discount?
  • Variant comparison (material options, logistics, smart alternatives)

Policy framework

All data and analysis are strictly separated by contractor. We are only substantively aware of one submission.

What happens

Final calculation and texts will be delivered.

What we offer

  • Final ECI calculation (with SimaPro or ECI tool)
  • Reporting & visualization (tables, graphs, hot spot analysis)
  • Input EMVI text (substantiation for tender documents)
  • Monitoring & quality check

Policy framework

Exclusive content output only for the chosen partner.

What happens

Tender is submitted and questions come from client.

What we offer

  • Answering questions from client
  • Verification guidance (answering questions, providing substantiation)

Policy framework

For non-accredited contractors, we can only perform verification or sign off on Annex 8 here for a project specific product LCA – we are never aware of multiple full project calculations within a tender. In addition, the person signing off the Annex 8 is always another recognized expert.

What happens

Project ongoing, client wants progress and proof.

What we offer

  • Interim reports (e.g., quarterly/half-yearly)
  • Registration documents MKI (provide for client or database)
  • As-built study (final calculation on actual quantities)
  • Final presentation (summary for client and environment)

Policy framework

Here, exclusivity is no longer required.

What happens

Learning from this project for next tenders.

What we offer

  • Product analyses & templates (reusable modules for subsequent tenders)
  • Project tool analytics (scalable approach, insight into trends)
  • Training (client can partly do it himself, with our guidance)

Policy framework

Generic insights (non-client/project related) can be shared more broadly, but never competitively sensitive data.

Our added value in tenders

ER__gear-orange

Independent and exclusive guidance

We deliberately choose one substantive partner per tender. This provides certainty: no conflicts of interest, no noise, no doubt about confidentiality

ER__gear-orange

Strategically and substantively strong

We go beyond "the calculation." Through hot spot analyses, variant studies and opportunity maps, we actively steer for EMVI scoring, risk reduction and feasible optimizations.

ER__gear-orange

Deep LCA knowledge applied to projects

Our opinions are based on years of experience and are prepared by experienced LCA specialists who work daily on project and product calculations in civil engineering and construction.

ER__gear-orange

Fast, accessible and pragmatic

Short lines, quick feedback and thinking along within the time constraints of a tender. Not a black box, but a transparent process in which the contractor maintains control.

ER__gear-orange

Quality assured, also towards verification

By factoring in review and verification from the beginning, we avoid surprises later and increase the likelihood of a smooth verification process.

ER__gear-orange

Value after award

Our involvement does not stop at the tender stage. With interim reports, as-built studies and knowledge assurance, we help clients and contractors to actually realize sustainability ambitions.

Stronger scoring with facts

With our LCA and ECI expertise, back up your bid with facts instead of promises.
