EDGE AuditorsEDGE Auditors review a building project submitted for EDGE certification and assess whether the building design and constructed building meet the EDGE requirements. For new buildings, Auditors conduct a Design Audit during the design phase, after which a Preliminary Certificate can be issued, and a Site Audit after the construction phase, after which a final EDGE Certificate can be issued by GBCI.
GBCI clients are able to select and contract their own local GBCI EDGE Auditor. EDGE Auditor fees are competitively set by individual EDGE Auditors.
