Everyone Deserves a great place to live

Providing beautiful, sustainable homes

We work with the public sector both as a developer and a contractor. As a developer, we collaborate with government authorities and housing providers to deliver award-winning mixed-tenure housing schemes. By investing, developing, building, and delivering homes, we help address the need for affordable housing, regenerate underutilised areas, and create vibrant, thriving communities.

We maintain a robust development pipeline, with partners typically providing land while we contribute expertise, funding, and delivery capabilities.

Our social housing maintenance teams work closely with housing authorities to ensure residents are safe, supported, and able to enjoy their homes for years to come.

Creating a green future for everyone

The race to net zero carbon

We are committed to helping governments achieve their net zero ambitions and deliver sustainable, future-ready buildings.

Through multi-disciplinary partnerships, we support public sector clients in meeting challenging carbon reduction targets, whether through new low-energy schools, healthcare facilities, or civic buildings.

Our retrofit programmes upgrade existing homes to modern energy-efficient standards, making older housing stock fit for the future. Long-term projects with local authorities see new low-energy and Passivhaus-standard homes integrated into housing portfolios, contributing to both sustainability and community wellbeing.

We are proud to help governments in the UK and UAE build and maintain the civic, educational, and residential facilities of tomorrow.

Building back better

We actively invest in the regions where we operate, supporting local suppliers, creating jobs, and helping people develop new skills. Our work drives growth, delivers value for our clients, and benefits the communities we serve.

Through building and maintaining modern civic offices and administrative hubs, we help public sector agencies decentralise operations and create efficient, future-ready workplaces. This supports regional development while strengthening local economies.

We also work closely with justice and emergency services, delivering fit-outs, refurbishments, and facilities management to ensure their buildings meet the operational demands of the 21st century.

The Complete Solution

Supporting the public and private sectors

Looking after our communities​

We are working at the local council level to enhance communities by providing world-class leisure and sports facilities that create social hubs for people.

Delivering social value is embedded throughout our business and we work with our supply chain to use local businesses and employ the people furthest from the workforce.

We also invest heavily in the future, looking at new and creative ways to inspire the next generation whether through our apprenticeships, innovative work experience programmes or teaching primary school children about the work we do.

Our focus on inclusion and diversity is also unmatched in the industry and we are committed to doubling the proportion of women at all levels of our business and to becoming more ethnically diverse.
