Advisory

by Buro Happold

We deliver business advisory with engineering at its core.

The challenges facing our clients aren’t what they were.

They need the expertise and experience of partners who not only understand their business, but crucially, the engineering behind it.

Our unique Buro Happold brand of advisory ‘with engineering at its core’ delivers this.

Working together, we enable clients to face the future with confidence.

After all, who better to advise on your assets and operations than the people helping to engineer them?

For sustainability and energy transition to be effectively addressed – and to create long-lasting impact – strategy, solutions, finance and policy need to be aligned. We help clients craft sustainable strategies and plans to reduce environmental impact, enhance resource efficiency and embrace renewable energy sources, by using our engineering insight to turn sustainability commitments into actions.

Digital technologies are arguably the most powerful and cost-effective way to respond to the world’s most pressing challenges: we use them to create efficient, smart and sustainable places, cities and buildings. Our experts collaborate with clients at each step of their transformation journey to blend digital innovation with a profound understanding of engineering in the built environment.

The need to create secure, compliant and resilient organisations and places is critical for public safety, business continuity and reputation management. As a global network of advisors, problem-solvers and technical experts, our multidisciplinary approach – grounded not only in an understanding of the security landscape but also the nuanced engineering aspects of the built environment – provides risk mitigation strategies to protect assets, people and information.

Strategic, insight-driven, effective decisions are needed for the successful development and management of your assets. Our services provide strategic transformations deeply rooted in a profound understanding of business challenges, as well as the intricate engineering nuances within the built environment. We maximise the success of investments through the life cycle of the asset. Examples of our advisory work in this area include feasibility studies, public-private partnership financing models and transaction advisory.

We develop strategic plans, define organisational objectives and design comprehensive operating models that align with the client vision and integrate seamlessly with the engineering fabric of the built environment. Combining deep insights into urban planning with asset operations provides tailored solutions that optimise efficiency, foster growth and position organisations for sustained success. Examples of our work include sector and service strategy development, public service model design and regulatory operating model design.

A shifting economic, environmental and social landscape calls for fresh development thinking. Our regional economic development advisory service stands at the intersection of economic growth and the built environment. What sets us apart is our unparalleled ability to comprehend the business challenges unique to each city or region and integrate this with an understanding of the engineering intricacies inherent within the built environment.
