Projects registered may opt for an early phase of review to receive the WELL Precertification designation.
Precertification occurs prior to Documentation Review and Performance Verification. Projects may submit feature-specific documentation reflecting operational commitments and design intents or implemented conditions.

Air quality Water quality Light attributes Thermal considerations Acoustic elements
Third-party laboratories do the performance tests for the following:
Radon
Formaldehyde
VOCs
