How we can help
Stage 1: Assess
Assessing your decarbonisation requirements
We assess the scope and current performance of your land and property assets across health, safety, compliance and energy efficiency and provide advice on how to achieve your property goals.
Data harvesting:
we’ll gather data to complete condition surveys of existing property stock
Data analysis:
we’ll determine the current energy efficiency performance of your buildings and identifying key problem areas
Identifying opportunities and savings:
we’ll pinpoint where efficiencies can be made, such as bulk completion of work programmes
Road-mapping and identifying targets:
we’ll identify the key targets, benefits, risks, and opportunities for you
Skills and training:
we’ll identify local suppliers with the necessary experience and skills, outlining training opportunities to maximise uptake and increase jobs, skills and positive outcomes for the local economy
Strategic outline case:
we’ll deliver a comprehensive report detailing where and how changes can be made, and your options
Advising how to achieve your goals
We help you plan, fund and deliver your land and property projects, from ensuring a safe and compliant estate to meeting net-zero targets.
We can also provide a programme of interventions to maximise asset performance, while minimising the impact on the public purse.
Stage 2: Performance
Costing estimates:
our cost consultants will explain the level of funding required
Roadmap to zero carbon:
we’ll sense check that the strategy is still appropriate in the market, identify any changes and provide detailed cost estimates
Finding funding opportunities:
we’ll identify potential government grant funding or private financing opportunities to facilitate investment outlined in the zero carbon roadmap
Procurement of local skills and delivery:
we’ll outline the potential delivery routes through local procurement based on the skills assessment during the ‘assess’ stage
Outline business case:
we’ll create an outline business case that reflects a detailed cost-assessed strategy, advising on how best to fund and deliver the programme.
Turning your plans into reality
We will develop detailed and comprehensive strategies and create optimisation pathways, from financial assessment and planning to performance improvement, estates development, decarbonisation and portfolio optimisation.
This helps to create savings, bring in external investment and generate capital receipts, and ultimately increase income.
Stage 3: Optimise
A full business case:
documenting all details and confirming the strategy while also forming a firm foundation as a demonstrator bid when applying for grant funding and other financing mechanisms
Securing funding:
using our expertise in the field, we’ll secure the funding on your behalf, putting you in a prime position to get started on your zero-carbon journey
Starting on site:
our specialists will guide and monitor progress as you begin on-site, ensuring the best strategies are implemented and you successfully engage the support of stakeholders/residents.
Expanding activities to your full portfolio
In our final stage, we can transform your strategic plans into delivery on the ground, through planning and development management, surveying and building control.
Stage 4: Development
We can help you maximise the performance, safety
and value from your land and property assets.
We can manage the end-to-end process or help
at any stage of your estates optimisation journey.

Upon successful delivery of the pilot programme, we’ll apply the knowledge and strategies we’ve developed to cover a wider scope of your property assets.
Lessons learnt will continuously be implemented and fed into the cycle to maximise efficiency, optimise results, and continue the employment of the local skilled population who will, by now, be experts in zero carbon property delivery.
Monitoring and assurance will form a continual part of our service to ensure a hands-on approach, with regular gateway reviews to identify any areas for improvement, pre-empt any issues and address them quickly.
