SWR Fitwel Consulting

Sustainability Within Reach LLC is focused on partnering with buildings to become more sustainable through Fitwel’s health and wellness certifications. We specialize in corporate sustainability certifications such as Fitwel for commerical, single-tenant, and multi-tenant spaces.

Here at SWR we focus solely on sustainability certification rather than being an add-on to large and more complex packages. By narrowing our scope, we can competitively price below most large consultant firms while offering a more transparent and customer-centric approach to its services, all while providing above-industry standard certification expertise through accredited consultants. Additionally, certification projects can be completed faster when they are the main focus and specialty of the business. Not only can clients save money using SWR LLC, but they are now receiving a more specialized and unique experience through SWR’s services.

Our Advantage

SWR offers a comprehensive suite of services to guide you through every stage of the Fitwel certification process. The process begins with an initial assessment, during which SWR's in-house Fitwel ambassador will evaluate your building based on Fitwel's scorecard. During this stage, SWR will provide tailored recommendations on design, operations, and policies that promote health and wellness. At the end of this stage, we will provide you a unique Fitwel estimated scorecard to give you a better baseline for pursuing 1-3 Fitwel stars.

SWR will also facilitate stakeholder engagement, ensuring that all relevant parties are informed and involved in the certification process. We will assist with the preparation and submission of documentation during both the initial and final review stages. This holistic approach simplifies the certification journey and helps you create environments that support occupant well-being, ultimately enhancing the building's market appeal and operational performance.
