Carbon lifecycle analysis
Carbon is emitted by a building when it's built, used, demolished and disposed of but materials have their own carbon life too. We’ll help you understand the past, present and future of your assets.
It’s not just about doing the right thing. It’s about doing the right thing for your investment. Reducing a building’s energy use is essential but how do you overcome any limits put on its occupier?
It’s not just about working out the embodied carbon in buildings themselves but also understanding the sustainability business case when making choices about materials or labour. What are the emissions arising from heating, cooling, ventilating and lighting?
Measuring the carbon footprint of a building is becoming standard practice and making use of that information is the next evolution in managing climate change.
We’ll help you understand the cost implications of your analysis and provide specialist knowledge to help you to make strategic business decisions for your portfolio.
By avoiding silo working and bringing specialist teams together, we’ll help you make sense of the numbers and protect the future of your investment, and the planet.

Environmental Impact Assessments
Adding value to minimise the environmental impact of your development or infrastructure projects from the outset and ensuring compliance with the legislative requirements of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
