Cities and urban environments are made by people. They give them life and dynamism. At KREAN we want to be part of these living spaces, reinventing cities to turn them into inclusive, safe, sustainable, efficient and fundamental places for people.
Inclusive environments where they can develop personally and professionally on the basis of equality of gender, age, social class, ethnic origin-culture or functional diversity. Responsible projects respecting the natural environment that surrounds us. Waste-free sites, which return clean waste to the environment.
We believe in the universal human right of access to safe drinking water and to live in environmentally sustainable settings that return treated water to the environment
And all of this within a framework that integrates Regional Planning, Urban Development, Due Dilligence, Master Plan, Preliminary Projects, Layout Projects, Implementation Projects, Technical Assistance and Site Management.

Certificates
We are LEED, BREEAM and WELL certified
KREAN is a leading company in environmental product certification, having obtained BREEAM, LEED or WELL certification for more than 100 projects at the national and international level.
BREEAM and LEED recognise and reward those buildings that make an effort to reduce their environmental impact, collaborating with a more sustainable development and aligned with climate change adaptation and mitigation policies. In addition, they seek to improve the health and comfort of users. WELL focuses on the latter point by concentrating on improving people's health and well-being from a triple perspective: physical, psychological and emotional well-being.
All three certifications are valued by the sector for their unequivocal advantages: greater health and comfort for those who live, work or use the building; greater cost efficiency for those who build, operate or maintain it; and a significant reduction in its impact on the environment.

Integrated systems
BIM
At KREAN, working in BIM is about the present and the future. We work on a real model of the project. The data is collected in a single model: buildings, processes, equipment, facilities... All the agents work on the same model, a model that captures the history of the project, during the design, on site, at handover and throughout the useful life of the project.
IPD
Integrated Project Delivery, an understanding that all the agents involved in the process are part of the same, being involved from the very beginning of the design, so that the final product is the result of a contribution of the abilities of the entire team. From the very beginning, KREAN involves those companies that it considers vital for the success of the project.
