Built Environment

We provide expert consulting on the development of comprehensive strategies for net-zero buildings, energy-efficient solutions, and the integration of circular economy principles. Our focus is on achieving both Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and net-zero targets through holistic and innovative design. Our services extend to certifications for sustainable construction, climate adaptation planning, material evaluation, life cycle assessments, and implementation support, ensuring that you create sustainable, healthy, and comfortable environments.

Towards Carbon Neutrality in Real Estate

 As the need for carbon neutrality grows, organisations managing real estate assets are navigating an increasingly complex regulatory and market landscape. We partner with our clients to offer strategic guidance, portfolio management, and support in the successful implementation of carbon-neutral projects.

The construction industry is responsible for around 40% of global resource consumption. Legislative initiatives, such as the Net-Zero 2050 targets, are driving significant change. We help clients from various sectors adapt to these shifts through tailored carbon reduction strategies, supporting everything from new builds to renovations and ongoing portfolio management. Our end-to-end expertise ensures that your projects are positioned for both regulatory compliance and long-term value.
