Our philosophy is founded on what we have learnt, what we have experienced and how we have seen the world around us change. In the context of providing a truly valued strategic asset management service:
We believe the intelligent and flexible use of spaces allows society to function well
‘Just as social distancing has changed the usable capacity of buildings, home working has changed the demand for office occupation and footfall has changed location. The future will be less about buildings and their ownership and more about understanding how spaces can be used, shared and accessed differently to meet changing patterns of demand. Strategic asset management can both shape and respond to that supply and demand balance.’
We believe it is the actions of people enabled by technology that make spaces work
‘The 2020 lockdown showed that people can radically change how they live, work, travel and interact with others in a way never envisaged. A generational opportunity exists to reshape rather than reset how our built environment is used. By understanding the types, quantities and location of spaces that people need, strategic asset management can both inform and influence the solution.’
We believe the way spaces are developed, used, managed and re-used, creates an obligation to deliver positive social, economic and environmental impacts
‘Everyone has had their own personal ‘Lockdown’ experiences. They are now irreversibly shaped by them and so too are their expectations of the society of which they are a part. These expectations will translate into a more socially aware and environmentally principled society, less accepting of social inequality and more motivated to achieve a zero carbon future. We must help meet that expectation.’
