Adapting construction for rapid urban growth
As the global landscape changes at an unprecedented pace, the property and construction sector must continue to adapt and provide resilient, cost-effective and sustainable buildings and properties to support expanding urban environments.
The collective impact of rapid population growth, increased urbanisation, political unrest and the climate crisis can be seen across the sector. Functional, sustainable construction and property development have never been so vital for satisfying residential, educational and commercial needs. As the construction industry adapts, partnerships with financiers and the government will be key to delivering innovative and smart infrastructure, implementing building projects that work with people and planet.
RSK is a global leader in the property and construction sector and is well equipped to provide both consultancy and contracting solutions that meet a wide range of challenges. Regardless of project scale or complexity, we can apply our extensive experience and access to technology to provide flexible and pragmatic solution-focused services that reflect the needs of the local community and ecosystems.
From project initiation and site selection through to end-of-life phases, our clients, which include private housebuilders, government organisations, social housing developers and landlords, and commercial developers, trust in our diverse experience, and our ability to be a one-stop provider of expert and tailored solutions. The services we provide reduce management time and costs, streamline the development process and improve our clientsβ return on investment.
Our experienced team draws from decades of experience to enable clients to identify emerging sector trends, manage potential risks and deliver vibrant projects. By working closely with clients from the earliest possible stage of a project, we can identify and act on challenges early, taking a proactive approach to prevent or mitigate issues.
Tackling carbon in construction
There can be no greater challenge facing the construction sector than tackling its current carbon footprint. According to a report by the Climate Change Committee, energy use in homes accounts for 14% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, as the UKβs housing stock is one of the oldest and worst insulated in Europe. The Climate Change Committee also states that there are 29 million existing homes that need to be upgraded to low- carbon heating systems. With sustainability embedded at our core, we are expertly positioned to support clients in navigating future challenges, such as retrofitting the current housing stock to improve EPC ratings.
We have extensive experience in offering environmental impact assessments, environmental monitoring, auditing and regulatory compliance services, we understand the challenges faced as we progress towards net zero builds and we are working closely with clients to unlock the technologies required to achieve carbon neutrality.
