A robust design is the foundation for a smooth project
Whether the construction of a new sports stadium, regeneration of an industrial site, expansion of healthcare facilities or the renewal of local schools – the challenges are similar. Developments must meet complex planning regulations and account for emerging environmental and sustainability performance standards and optimum capital and whole life costs. They should also take into account their place within the wider social context of the local community.
Early involvement brings long-term benefits
URS brings together expertise throughout the entire property development cycle – covering masterplanning, economic development, environmental impact assessment, sustainability, engineering, infrastructure and asset management. From early project involvement, our experienced team can offer practical guidance to make the journey through the planning process as effortless as possible.
Early involvement also gives more opportunity to use cost-efficient, modern construction techniques and to incorporate design features that improve energy efficiency and lower lifetime maintenance costs.
When distressed industrial sites require redevelopment, our unique Land Asset Realisation Services (LARS) engages landowners, purchasers and regulators in the proactive management of these sites to deliver the desired outcome.
Helping to shape the built environment
URS provides significant added value through our understanding of the entire real estate development process, from acquisition through planning, construction and operation to divestment. Our multidisciplinary teams can contribute during all stages of the project, from business planning to detailed engineering and environmental design.
The projects with which we are engaged receive numerous awards and we continue to be involved in some of the most prestigious urban regeneration projects across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
