Stroma offers a comprehensive suite of software and certification schemes for UK building professionals, enabling energy assessments, compliance checks, and building control inspections to ensure regulatory adherence and project efficiency.


Stroma provides a specialized software platform and accredited certification schemes tailored for the UK's building and construction industry.

This integrated ecosystem simplifies the complex process of building regulation adherence, from initial assessment to final certification.
