We are small, yet purpose-driven and ambitious, with c.40 dynamic individuals working together for a better built environment. Trust and communication, self-leadership, and self-agency are all key to our successful teamwork and all team members are actively supported in developing the necessary skills for such, as well as their own ongoing personal and professional development.
