Connect communities and drive value
Real estate professionals are rising to the challenge of creating a more sustainable and socially responsible world. Social Value Portal uses a simple framework to provide insight on achievement and improvement of any asset, portfolio or development.
Our lifecycle approach
Analysing local needs
Our team can identify the needs of an area through policy review, deprivation mapping and connecting with community partners, so you can be sure you’re making informed decisions and delivering exactly what local communities need, from development through to occupation.

Diligent design
Design and project teams are hugely important to ensure social value is embedded in a project from its outset. Using a social plan of work and the social value in design checklist, designers can be the catalyst to inform social value creation throughout the asset lifecycle.
