A complex project can be costly and time-consuming. We can help with that.

We believe that by placing a value on the triple bottom line we can ensure that the impacts, both costs and benefits, to people and nature influence decision making alongside traditional financial metrics. With this comes the responsibility to assure that the work we do is just and equitable while also being transparent, rigorous, and objective.

Our team specializes in developing complex economic models to inform capital projects and policies by incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into decision making and project valuation. Infrastructure and real estate projects are often developed to enhance public benefits, but often these co-benefits are overlooked; investments in sustainability, resilience, and community outcomes have value that must be quantified to ensure the most sophisticated planning approach and best outcomes – optimal designs, greatest value-for-money, new funding opportunities, mitigated risks, and stakeholder buy-in.
