      Strategic Master Planning

      Giving you the confidence in your decisions to invest in property long-term to achieve a sustainable future.

      Emmanuel College, Cambridge 3
      Emmanuel College, Cambridge

      With a 50+ year strong relationship, we’re trusted to offer Emmanuel clear and creative advice

      A well-articulated master plan ensures you can look ahead to guarantee you make the right decisions now, so you leave your estate in a better position than the one you found it in.

      We really understand both the day-to-day operational needs of a college and the importance of being a coordinated, functional and loved place. Your master plan needs to be the result of a collaborative process that creates something everyone believes in.

      The development industry has a huge role to play in the essential work of climate change. You can make well informed decisions now to contribute to being part of hitting net zero carbon by 2050.

      It might culminate in a beautiful master plan drawing, but behind it, feeding in, are thematic layers; the open spaces, amenities, teaching and research needs, energy requirements, carbon neutral and renewable energy opportunities, noise constraints, cost appraisals and cost benefit analysis. All of these facets, and more, need careful consideration to form a master plan that delivers on your priorities.

      Our approach gives certainty to current custodianship, ensuring a positive legacy of our college clients
