Built Environment Services

Who we work with

We deliver sustainability services for built environment clients from developers, asset owners, manufacturers, builders, government and industry bodies to ensure a collective effort towards achieving sustainable industry outcomes. 

We help our clients and the wider industry to achieve greater sustainability and resilience across their assets, portfolios, organisations and supply chains. 

Our approach

Edge has the technical and strategic built environment sustainability skills to help clients (big and small) address sustainability across the entire asset lifecycle, from planning and design through to operations and deconstruction.

What is the Built Environment?

The built environment encompasses the entirety of human-made surroundings that shape our daily lives, from the structures we inhabit to the spaces where we work and play.

It comprises not only buildings and parks but also the intricate network of infrastructure that sustains our communities, including transportation systems, water resources, and energy grids.

The built environment’s impact on nature and people is significant, including contributing 40% of global green house gas emissions.
