About us

We’re not just a construction consultancy, we're a catalyst for change.

Since 1885, we’ve been bringing to life new ideas and big visions for the built environment. In today’s fast-changing world, we’re continually connecting people, places, ideas and possibilities to make every day another step towards a better future.

Impartial intelligence

As an independent business, our decisions aren’t influenced by ties with other organisations. This means we help businesses and investors achieve the best value from their assets by providing advice that’s truly in their best interests.

As a team of trusted advisors, we offer invaluable insight and foresight, empowering our clients to make better-informed decisions. Whether advising on sustainable investment benefits or tailoring project management solutions, our service is synonymous with quality and reliability.

Visionary partnerships

We don’t just work for our clients, we align with value-driven partners who share our vision of a connected, resilient and sustainable future. Integrating seamlessly into our clients’ teams, we work as genuine partners rather than external consultants.

We understand what really matters to them so that, together, we can reach their goals faster. This close connection is the key to our longevity and client relationships that span decades and keep getting stronger.

Sustainable innovation

We use cutting-edge technologies and pioneer sustainable practices – not as trends, but as integral parts of our operating model. Our approach to the service we provide is tailored, agile and responsive, recognising the unique challenges and opportunities of each partnership.

From digital solutions that streamline operations to sustainable methodologies that minimise environmental impact, we’re always pursuing better outcomes for people, planet and profit.

Stronger connections

We believe in the power of connection – both within our organisation and in the clients and communities we serve. With people on the ground around the world, we deploy the right talent, with the right skills, in the right place – ensuring a perfect blend of global knowledge and local expertise.

We’re committed to creating opportunities for our people to thrive, promoting diversity and fostering an inclusive environment. By cultivating talent and nurturing relationships, we create a space where people can grow and do their best work.

Our values

Our values underpin what we stand for and how we work.

Professionalism with personality

To us, business is personal. We set the highest standards of competence, integrity and respect – without compromise. But our kind of professionalism isn’t cold and clinical, it’s warm and relational. We care about the person behind the job title, bringing the best of ourselves to connect on a human level and make every interaction a great experience.

Excellence with humility

Our teamwork is built on trust. We take pride in doing exceptional work together. But we’re not just in it for ourselves. We’re in it for our clients – fighting for their best interests, even when that’s the difficult thing to do. And we’re in it for each other – trusting in our colleagues and capabilities so that, together, we can rise to our potential.

Innovation with agility

We believe in the power of unconventional wisdom. With over 100 years in the business, we understand the value of best practices and proven processes. But we don’t let them get in the way of progress. Fast movers and flexible thinkers, we challenge ourselves to outdo expectations and solve problems in fresher, better ways.
