what we do

  • :
    We work with our clients to develop their initial vision into a high-quality functional building with limited impact on the surrounding environment. In the last 60 years, we have been proud to be associated with some of the most visionary, sustainable, and award-winning buildings that support a unique user experience and become valuable and acclaimed assets.
  • :
    By applying digital design techniques, we take our clients and their projects further and faster whilst navigating the field of sustainability in the built environment. We employ advanced audience-flow simulations to maximise safety and rapid digital prototyping allows us to undertake early engineering analysis to identify cost, carbon footprint, and buildability opportunities and options.
  • :
    Our multi-disciplinary teams work closely with their project teams to design inspiring spaces that deliver the best in functionality, lighting, acoustics, quality, and comfort.
  • :
    Ramboll remains at the forefront of offsite construction techniques and continues to drive new technical advances. It’s not unusual for modular designed buildings to take significantly less time to construct than those using conventional techniques. Our specialist engineers create modular structures that are adaptable.
  • :
    The construction industry is one of the main contributors to climate change and the consumption of resources. By extending the life of existing buildings, we can save up to 70% more embodied carbon than building new, and the sensitive retrofit of façade and MEP systems allows us to meet increasingly stringent operational energy targets.
  • :
    We are dedicated to taking a leading role in sharing best practices and creating value for clients by delivering solutions that are environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable.
