SKA fit-out audits.
Prove the reuse in your fit-out. Camio records what was retained, reused and diverted, item by item, so your SKA assessor has clear evidence at every stage.

What is a ska fit-out audit?
RICS SKA rating is the environmental assessment for non-domestic fit-outs, covering offices, retail and higher education. Projects are assessed at design, during delivery and once the space is occupied.
A SKA fit-out audit captures the existing fit-out before works, then tracks what is retained, reused, brought in second-hand or diverted from landfill, giving you the materials and waste evidence the rating relies on.
- Existing fit-out captured before works start
- Reuse and diversion evidenced item by item
Why you need a ska fit-out audit.
Fit-outs are replaced far more often than buildings, so their embodied carbon adds up quickly. SKA rewards fit-outs that reuse what is there, specify responsibly and divert waste.
The challenge is evidence. Assessors need to see what happened to each item, and that is hard to reconstruct from spreadsheets and photos after the event.

The Camio difference
Why Camio for SKA.
Camio tracks every item across its lives, locations and owners. Items retained in place, moved to another floor or brought in from another project all keep their records, so your evidence builds up as the work happens.
When the space is occupied, the same inventory supports the occupancy stage and the next fit-out, rather than being archived.

Every asset, every life
Most audits describe a building on one day. Camio follows every asset for life.
Each item keeps its record through every life, every location and every owner. That is what makes Camio the natural fit for BREEAM In-Use, SKA and estates where assets move between projects again and again.

Multiple lives
Reuse, refurbishment and resale are recorded against the same item, so carbon savings add up over every life.
Multiple locations
Moves between floors, buildings and projects are tracked, so the inventory always shows where things really are.
Multiple owners
Items keep their history when they change hands, from landlord to tenant to buyer, across your whole estate.

It helps to include
- The site address and approximate floor area (GIA)
- The audit you need, or the planning, BREEAM, GLA or SKA requirement it is for
- Your programme: when you need the report and when strip-out or demolition starts
- Drawings, asbestos surveys or previous audits, if you have them

Questions we are often asked
Are you SKA assessors?
[Confirm whether Camio has RICS-accredited SKA assessors, or works alongside the project's assessor.] Either way, Camio provides the item-level evidence the assessment draws on.
Which SKA schemes does this support?
SKA rating covers office, retail and higher education fit-outs. Camio evidence works across all three.
Can we use items from our other buildings?
Yes. Items moved in from other sites keep their history in Camio, so reuse from across your estate is recorded as part of the fit-out.
