Welcome to the team Rachel Smith! 💫

Building management already demands expertise across countless domains - that's why specialists handle everything from HVAC to security - but when it comes to WELL Certification, it’s often left to in-house teams to figure it out alone. That’s where we come in. At Forsta Projects, we offer a complete management solution that supports your building through every step of the WELL Certification journey. Over a three-year certification cycle, so much can change – staff turnover, new contracts, renovations, wellness programs. All of it can affect your WELL status. We stay on top of it for you. Our team maintains detailed records of every relevant update, ensuring nothing is overlooked. We verify maintenance activities and document new initiatives, ensuring comprehensive compliance through a clear, organised history of your WELL journey. When recertification approaches, you’ll have everything needed for a smooth, efficient process. No scrambling, no surprises – just a guaranteed, straightforward renewal backed by expert management.

Let’s take the complexity out of WELL – together. #WELLBuildingStandard #WELLCertification #WELLCertified #HealthyBuildings #WorkplaceWellbeing #Sustainability #BuildingManagement International WELL Building Institute (IWBI)

A common misconception is that WELL is only for new, high-spec buildings. The reality? Any workspace — regardless of age or condition — can be transformed into a high-performing, health-focused environment with the right strategy. At Forsta Projects, we specialise in demystifying the certification process and accelerating results. Our methodology is designed to optimise both human and operational performance, through two core pillars: Organizational Assessment We analyse your internal systems — from HR policies, benefits, and operational protocols to emergency planning — to establish a scalable wellness framework. This becomes a repeatable foundation for certifying multiple locations with consistency and efficiency. Workplace Analysis Our WELL APs conduct comprehensive audits to identify every point-earning opportunity under the WELL Standard. We document what’s already in place, then identify every point-scoring opportunity and deliver practical, cost-effective recommendations that make a real impact — with minimal disruption to your day-to-day. Our process eliminates the guesswork, reduces internal resource strain, and delivers a defined path to certification, with predictable outcomes and strategic milestones. Whether you're certifying your first site or scaling WELL across a global portfolio, we’ll guide you through every step. Let’s talk about how Forsta Projects can help integrate WELL into your sustainability, ESG, or workplace strategy.

As UK employees grapple with increased parental demands due to school holidays, we reflect on the value of childcare benefits. Research from a 2024 Harris Poll reveals that: ·    74% of parents have or have considered switching jobs because quality childcare is too difficult or expensive to secure. ·    78% of parents say being confident in childcare allows them to excel at work. These statistics demonstrate the huge demand for accessible and affordable childcare options, which companies can offer in multiple ways. The below options are viable ways to comply with WELL feature C10.1, Offer Childcare Support: ·       Providing on site childcare centres or 50% subsidies for childcare.  ·       Providing school break childcare programs at no cost or subsidised. ·       Allowing the use of paid sick leave, family leave or personal leave for childcare. ·       Allowing part time options, work from home or flexible schedules for childcare. Providing childcare is a significant factor facilitating return to the office, as a recent Care.com survey showed, with 48% of workers saying that childcare benefits are the most critical to their return to office. Offering such benefits allows companies to position themselves as leaders in attracting top talent, and the investment pays off: Recent Boston Consulting Group (BCG) research found that childcare benefits deliver positive ROI gains of up to 90% to 425% of their cost for companies across the U.S. As a recent Gensler article highlights, “Prioritizing child care as an essential amenity not only contributes to employee satisfaction but also increases the frequency of employees returning to in-person work.”  Businesses have a unique opportunity to enhance their return-to-office strategies, attract and retain top talent, improve work-life balance, promote diversity and inclusion, and create a supportive and appealing work environment by offering childcare benefits. Choose WELL for your employees wellbeing and see your organisation flourish through a more motivated, loyal and engaged workforce.

A recent study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has shed light on the significant impact of air pollution on cardiovascular health, linking pollutants like fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) to heart disease, stroke, and arrhythmias. The research shows that even short-term exposure to air pollution can increase the risk of heart attacks, while long-term exposure contributes to chronic cardiovascular conditions and premature death. This study underscores the importance of protection from pollutant exposure, through strategies such as IAQ monitoring and HVAC systems filtration. We are proud to help organisations implement a multitude of strategies to achieve higher levels of air quality in their spaces, as part of the WELL Building Standard. The Air concept of the standard offers many science-based strategies that organisations can follow to ensure occupants breathe in clean air. They include smoke-free policies, advanced ventilation, high-performance air filtration, pollutant source separation, and real-time air quality monitoring. By integrating these WELL strategies, we can significantly improve indoor air quality, reducing the risk of pollution-related cardiovascular diseases and fostering environments that support long-term occupant health.

The spaces we live and work in shape our daily experiences—how we feel, move, and connect with others. But in many cities, noise, pollution, and disconnection from nature are taking a toll on our wellbeing. The future of urban development is shifting toward places that engage, restore, and uplift—where people can thrive. So how do we get there? WELL-certified spaces are leading the way, setting a new standard for healthier, more resilient developments. Here’s how forward-thinking design can future-proof buildings and create better cities for all: Acoustic Comfort Noise pollution is a pervasive urban stressor linked to increased stress and sleep disturbances. Incorporating sound-absorbing materials and thoughtful acoustic design can mitigate these effects, fostering environments conducive to productivity, focus and relaxation. Movement-Oriented Features Designs that encourage movement—such as inviting staircases—promote physical activity, contributing to occupant health but also enhancing the vibrancy and appeal of a development. Connection to Nature Utilizing natural materials like wood and stone can create tactile experiences that reduce stress and enhance mindfulness. Incorporating these elements into developments can help occupants feel grounded, fostering a sense of wellbeing. Operable Windows and Outdoor Views Access to operable windows allows for natural ventilation and a connection to the outdoor environment. The WELL Standard encourages the use of operable windows to improve indoor air quality, but views of the outdoor can also reduce stress and increase mental clarity. Quiet Zones for Rest and Restoration Incorporating designated quiet zones within a development offers occupants spaces for rest and rejuvenation. These areas, when designed to the WELL building standard, provide calming lighting and comfortable seating, creating environments that support mental health and wellbeing. By investing in these wellness amenities, developers not only enhance the health and satisfaction of occupants but also increase the long-term desirability and value of their properties. At Forsta Projects, we are committed to guiding our clients through the process of achieving WELL certification, ensuring that wellness is at the forefront of every development.

A fascinating insight from Gallup: acts of generosity predict happiness more than income growth. In other words, giving back and engaging with our communities have a bigger impact on wellbeing than earning more money! At Forsta Projects, we believe our built environment should inspire generosity, connection, and civic engagement. That’s why we champion Feature C11 of the WELL Building Standard, which requires organisations to promote community engagement and provide community spaces. Companies can do so in a variety of ways: -Providing paid days off to participate in volunteering -Providing a list of local volunteer opportunities -Organising one community engagement program open to the public at no cost -Matching employee’s contributions to a charity or non-profit -Providing a space that can be used for public convenings at no cost By adopting WELL Feature C11, organisations can foster spaces that not only improve individual wellbeing but contribute to the wider community/ Let’s collaborate to create spaces and policies that make the world a little kinder, happier, and healthier for everyone.
