What is One Click LCA?

A One Click LCA assessment is a comprehensive review carried out during a building or infrastructure project. It documents the environmental performance of materials and systems, highlighting carbon emissions, resource use, and overall impact. This helps project teams and clients avoid future risks and ensures full transparency.

The process includes analysing the project’s design and data, assessing embodied carbon and other key metrics. Information can be drawn from BIM models, databases, or manual inputs to support the findings. After the assessment, a formal report is produced with evidence and practical recommendations for reducing impacts.

As this is a specialised process requiring accuracy and expertise, it’s essential to use a professional tool like One Click LCA to carry it out correctly.

Do You Need a One Click LCA Assessment?

Life Cycle Assessments are often required by developers, contractors, or consultants, especially at the early or closing stages of a project. If you’re preparing for design approval, construction, or certification, it’s wise to carry out an LCA to record the project’s environmental impact. Clients also benefit by ensuring their buildings meet standards and perform responsibly throughout their lifecycle.

This type of assessment also supports smoother progress on approvals and sustainability targets, helping define responsibilities and prioritise low-carbon choices before final plans are confirmed. If you’re involved in designing, building, or handing over a project, a One Click LCA assessment gives you the certainty needed to move forward with confidence.

The Benefits of Early LCA Assessments

Completing a Life Cycle Assessment early provides many advantages. It gives a clear overview of the project’s impacts, allowing you to plan material selection and design improvements well in advance. Consultants can use the results to demonstrate compliance with standards, while project owners benefit from having expectations clearly set upfront.

Early assessments also lower the risk of delays or redesigns, as they establish a reliable, evidence-based baseline for performance. Overall, timely LCAs improve transparency and save both time and cost by identifying issues before they escalate.

How Much Could You Save?

While it’s difficult to provide an exact number, a Life Cycle Assessment can lead to major cost savings for both clients and contractors. Designers can make smarter material choices and avoid expensive redesigns later. Contractors, in turn, can plan more accurately and prevent overspending on non-essential resources.

Ultimately, a timely LCA ensures better decision-making, reduces risk, and protects all parties from unnecessary expenses.

What Is Included In An LCA Report?

Also known as a “Life Cycle Assessment report,” it provides a full analysis of a project’s environmental impacts and highlights actions that may be required. It helps both consultants and clients understand responsibilities and plan cost-effective, sustainable solutions.

Everything You Need to Know

 A Life Cycle Assessment is a method used to measure the environmental impacts of a project, covering everything from material sourcing to construction, operation, and end-of-life.

One Click LCA simplifies the process by automating data input, providing access to extensive material databases, and generating reports that meet international standards and certification requirements.

The best time is during the early design stages, as this allows you to make sustainable decisions before construction begins. However, LCAs can also be performed during construction or at project handover.

Clients, consultants, and contractors all benefit. Clients gain transparency, consultants meet compliance requirements, and contractors avoid costly redesigns or unexpected expenses

The report provides a detailed breakdown of environmental impacts, including embodied carbon, resource use, cost estimates, performance priorities, and supporting evidence such as BIM data or product information.

Yes, One Click LCA is widely accepted for certifications like BREEAM, LEED, DGNB, and others. It helps demonstrate compliance and improves your project’s chances of achieving sustainability targets.
