A consultancy for buildings that have to work in this climate.
We work with developers, architects, engineers and institutions to make sustainability a technical discipline rather than a marketing claim. Every strategy is modelled, documented and defensible, because certification bodies, investors and occupants all eventually ask for evidence.
From Lagos, we advise across Africa on green building certification, energy efficiency, building performance and sustainability strategy, from feasibility through construction to verified operation.

Seven disciplines, one integrated practice.
Sustainability decisions are rarely isolated. Our capabilities are structured so the certification strategy, the energy model and the delivered building all describe the same project.
Banks, oil majors, diplomatic missions and developers.
Certification work is only as credible as the organisations willing to be certified. These are some of the clients whose buildings we have taken through it.
