BRANZ is the principal supplier of independent and impartial research, testing, consulting and information services to building industries around the world.

BRANZ's core purpose is to create better built buildings through research driven leadership and to inform, educate and motivate those who shape the built environment. BRANZ is able to provide a one-stop-shop for problem solving and information uniquely focused on building and construction with around 100 highly trained and specialist staff.

Our two main areas of activity are to:

• research and investigate the construction and design of buildings that impact the built environment
• enable the transfer of knowledge from the research community into the commercial building and construction industry.

As both our Government and Corporate clients need authoritative and practical information, we have developed and then deliver a deep and broad research and information programme, including seminars, research projects, publications, product testing and evaluation, digital tools and much more.
