Built environment
The built environment is complex, with challenge and opportunity across both new construction and in the management and maintenance of existing building stock.
We believe that the long-term fundamentals of supply and demand in mature economies remain positive and that there are clear opportunities to export best practice internationally.
We see mega-trends across infrastructure investment, online distribution, smart buildings and new methods of construction that unlock global markets for players with the right strategy.
With the winners often defined by their ability to manage stretch on the supply-side, we help our clients to focus and prioritise.
Example areas of expertise include:
Modular construction: Modelling adoption of various new methods of construction from panelised to full volumetric systems, to identify the winners.
Increasing H&S and compliance: Tracking a range of new services, systems and platforms that are being adopted internationally.
Managing skills shortage: Identifying the features of businesses that can manage supply-side stretch and recruit, train and retain skilled labour.
Online platforms: Tracking the models that are ready for the shift to online distribution, as well as cloud-based planning and BIM systems.
Smart buildings: Considering shifts in building products and services into the built environment enabled by better monitoring and data analytics.
Upgrading infrastructure: Our modelling highlights the basis for long-term growth in investment internationally, from housing to transport to energy.
