Buro Happold’s Asset Management team adopts a holistic approach to the design and construction process, providing quantity surveying and a range of strategic, financial and hands-on management services associated with the procurement and operation of a building development. By identifying commercial and operational risks - as well as opportunities - strategies can be developed that enable engineers and clients to address potential problems before they occur and achieve cost and programme certainty on a project.

As a multi-disciplinary international consultancy we have extensive experience in the specification and supervision of projects of all types and sizes, from tall buildings and retail malls to bridges and infrastructure developments. Backed up by sophisticated support and monitoring systems, our problem solving skills and familiarity with design principles, plant and contractors enable us to inform the whole construction process and ensure a flexible, best value package for our clients.

Buro Happold’s solid technical base means we can offer clients sound commercial advice on all aspects of the project, from inception to completion. Our Asset Management team has backgrounds in civil and structural engineering, building services engineering, health and safety, surveying and quantity surveying, enabling the group to provide an appropriate mix of expertise to suit the specific needs of the project. This ability to offer a full range of pre and post contract services sets us apart from many of our competitors.

Our commercial skills are utilised not only by our external clients but also by our design team to assist them in developing innovative solutions that meet financial and sustainability targets. This ability to combine the know-how of design engineers and facilities managers is particularly useful when producing whole life costs incorporating utilities and maintenance costs.
