For contractors, housebuilders and repairs teams

Know the carbon in every job you build.

Ceresgreen puts a carbon figure on every line of your schedule of rates, totals it for each job, and turns the rest of your business into the footprint and Carbon Reduction Plan your clients ask for.

Clients are asking for carbon. Answer them job by job.

Housing associations, main contractors and public-sector buyers increasingly want emissions figures with the price. Ceresgreen gives you both from the same schedule of rates.

  • UK government conversion factors (DESNZ)
  • GHG Protocol, Scope 1, 2 and 3
  • PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plans
  • Data encrypted per organisation

How it works

From schedule of rates to signed-off tender.

01 · Rates

Your schedule of rates, with carbon on every line.

Start from the schedule you already price work with. Add a carbon-per-unit column, upload it, and every item becomes searchable with its factor attached.

  • Excel or CSV, your own column names
  • Unit and unit price kept alongside carbon
  • Run more than one schedule side by side

02 · Jobs

Price a job. See its carbon.

Build each job from schedule items and quantities, by search or by importing a CSV of codes and quantities. The total updates as you go.

  • Line-by-line kgCO2e, totalled per job
  • Bulk import from your estimating sheet
  • Past jobs keep the factors they were priced with

03 · Business

The yard, the vans and the plant count too.

Jobs are one part of the picture. Connect your energy supply, bank feed or Xero, upload bills, or describe activity in plain English, and we build your company-wide footprint.

  • Smart-meter, bank (Open Banking) and Xero connections
  • Fuel, travel, freight and materials sorted from your spend
  • We ask a short question when something is ambiguous
