Built environment

Building a resilient environment for future generations.

Wood is creating spaces that integrate imagination, reflect fresh thinking, and showcase vibrant solutions for the built environment, from consenting through to end of life. We have a global perspective, but think innovatively to find solutions to local needs, meeting the need for urban and rural development in an increasingly complex and connected world.

Wood works globally with a range of private and public customers for the planning, design and contract supervision of all kinds of built environment developments, including public and private building developments, transportation networks, water and sanitation systems, energy grids, and industrial and manufacturing facilities. Our experience also spans master planning, remediation, urban design and a host of complementary environmental and engineering services, as well as infrastructure solutions from water and power to transportation. We are committed to delivering high-quality developments, building on our passion for creative solutions and design innovation.

In an increasingly complex policy and regulatory environment, the sound advice of an experienced partner has never been so valuable. We tailor our project and design documentation to meet best practice and regulatory requirements, smoothing the route to approval and compliance, while maximising the utility and value of each asset. Our in-house architects, designers and environmental experts have specialised knowledge across the industries in which we work, including public facilities and utilities, healthcare, education, commercial, industrial, and energy.

So why choose Wood? From planning, design and environmental services for private-sector residential developments and military housing in the UK, to structural integrity services at one of the world's most impressive stadiums, and the largest urban renewal project in North America, we have the experience to support your built environment challenges wherever they occur.

We are experts in resilience and sustainability and in reducing vulnerability, risk and costs via the design and implementation of resilient strategies and efficiencies, such as strengthened and smarter engineering, more-effective management processes, and more-efficient infrastructure design.

In essence, we are that trusted partner our customers need, adding value to their projects, while also measuring success in terms of the influence we have in each of the communities where we work, in the resources we use and preserve, and the impact we make, or minimise, globally. As we help shape the built environment around us, we strive to leave our mark as a positive legacy for the entire life cycle of your assets.

As part of our commitment to building a resilient environment for future generations, Wood is a partner of the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) initiative, which was pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation to help cities around the world become more resilient to the physical, social and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century.
