Unique solutions for modern design, engineering and construction
WHAT WE DO
Provide unique solutions for digital design, engineering and construction
‍
We work closely with clients, designers and contractors to optimise the digital delivery of design & construction projects. This includes work winning, planning and execution phases. We specialise in large, complex projects such as infrastructure and aviation and have expertise with the applications and systems used in these projects.
‍
  • Develop digital strategy to meet customer needs
  • Develop innovative technology solutions such as Machine Learning
  • Collaborate with organisations to introduce and implement technology solutions
  • Review & analyse business to identify opportunities and growth
  • Contribute to produce winning bids
HOW WE WORK
Part of your team
‍
We have a collaborative working style and work as an integral part of a project team to provide technology solutions that deliver maximum value across the project. We recognise that every project is unique and that a combination of industry-standard and tailored solutions is necessary to meet the needs of the project.
‍
  • Focus on the specific needs of each organisation and project
  • Work client-side, or as part of a bid or a project delivery team
  • Provide flexibility in on-site or remote work
  • Mentor and support people & businesses to build internal capabilities
HOW WE think
People and business first
‍
We understand how technology has the potential to bring huge benefits to construction, such as improved work-winning, profitability, safety,  and quality. However, this potential is only realised through tangible business benefits such as saving time or making a task easier.
In addition, the human aspect of technology-enabled change has to be carefully considered and managed. This is to ensure that solutions are understood, embraced and utilised by people within the project team. Simplicity and practicality are an essential part of gaining this support.
‍

Business problems can't be solved by technology alone.
However, technology is now a critical part of modern construction
