Vision

Our vision is to be the world’s best infrastructure consultancy.

‘World’s’ means that we will develop deep local expertise in certain targeted geographies. We aim to be recognised as the best infrastructure consultancy in our chosen geographies because of the projects and service we deliver. We will not be global, with offices everywhere, although our multi-national reach will be extensive.

‘Best’ means that we will be close to our clients, anticipating their needs, developing long-term relationships and winning repeat business. We aim to help answer questions our clients don’t know they need to ask. We will help them to define their questions. Our values will espouse the way we carry out our work – with integrity and respect, always striving for excellence. We will not necessarily be the biggest or broadest – although this may be a consequence of our success.

Our skills lie in the expansive area of ‘infrastructure’ – the wiring of society – covering buildings, transport and utilities (including power and water), as well as work for national and local governments and other industrial clients. The social and environmental framework, combined with our social policy planning skills, is also important – it is essential that we view all of our projects in the context of the communities in which they will be undertaken.

‘Consultancy’ means that we will operate a business based on selling advice and expertise. We are not a developer, construction company or generalist outsourcer. We do, however, have the financial status and commercial skills to successfully engage in a wide variety of contract forms as clients are increasingly demanding.
