Realising complex urban systems
Communication and understanding between a wide range of disciplines is critical to successful masterplanning, which is why our ability to integrate specialisms is so appreciated by our customers. We help customers to realise development potential, particularly in complex urban situations, and have deep knowledge of the constraints and opportunities involved. We identify key risks and advise on options for their mitigation. We provide the spectrum of knowledge required for the development of all kinds of urban, suburban, former industrial and greenfield areas. The realities of commercial feasibility are central to our consultancy.
Close coordination from concept to completion
Depending on the requirements of the project, relevant specialists are selected to work with an experienced masterplanning project manager, who takes responsibility for internal communication and is the primary point of contact for the team. Our known capability in the use of advanced modelling software and geographic information systems (GIS) aids both analysis of options and the communication of results.
Our approach has proved successful in coordinating extremely specific expertise to provide an impressively cohesive and comprehensive service. We have a quick and thorough understanding of all stages involved from concept to completion — from architectural and infrastructure design, environmental and geotechnical assessment, legislative requirements, sustainable energy, transport planning and socio-economic implications to planning strategy, phasing and delivery.
Vast masterplanning experience
We can be appointed to carry out any combination of masterplanning services from our multi-disciplinary profile. Our experience includes sustainable masterplans for regeneration of city centre areas, hospitals, colleges, airports, ports, golf courses and luxury resorts in both national and international settings.
In keeping with our philosophy as a practice, our masterplanning teams encourage the exchange of ideas between all disciplines involved to reach the most streamlined, best value result, enabling us to meet the social, technical, environmental and economic requirements of any project.
