PROPERTY AND BUILDINGSHow do you measure the success of a building or property? It performs its function beyond all expectation. It attracts, even delights all those who live in, work in or visit it. It uses energy in the most cost-effective and sustainable way. It sits sympathetically within its surroundings or stands out as a beacon. Or, ultimately, it stands the test of time.

We aim to meet all these criteria and more, when we bring our specialist skills to a building or property project. From The Shard in London to the World Trade Center in New York, Grand Palladium in Mumbai to the United Tower in Kuwait – our buildings more than measure up.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT Uti l i t ies , waste treatment , publ ic spaces , transportation design, efficient energy supplies, and municipal bui ld ings:  these and more besides are the arteries and organs that make up a city’s infrastructure. They are vital and need constant attention as the city or community grows and develops.

We have over 50 years’ experience working on new rapidly-expanding cities and established cities with an aging infrastructure – delivering comprehensive, innovative and cost-effective solutions that bring life to land and developments.

Our fully integrated environmental approach also allows us to address the growing pace of human activities and related environmental pressures for Future Cities.
