Public buildings and infrastructure assets

Public buildings

and infrastructure assets

Governments must provide long-term safe and reliable infrastructure and housing. We help you improve the safety, quality, sustainability and performance of your assets.

SAFE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, OPERATED EFFICIENTLY

YOUR CHALLENGES

As people move to urban areas, municipal authorities must respond by providing quality public goods, such as institutional buildings and infrastructure, schools, hospitals, stadiums and other sports facilities. Public and private sector investors and contractors must collaborate with a dependable partner to ensure that their buildings and infrastructure projects meet expected levels of quality, safety and affordability. In addition, institutional assets must be operated and maintained effectively, often beyond their expected lifetime, and adapted to different uses over time.
