Problems we solve

Where Ambition Meets Complexity, We Deliver

Our clients face some of the most demanding challenges in the built environment: major programmes that drift off course, budgets that erode through poor commercial governance, supply chains that underdeliver, and a rapidly changing world that demands faster, greener and more resilient infrastructure. We solve these problems by bringing clear strategy, solid commercial foundations and disciplined execution together in one integrated team. When projects lack direction, our programme advisory and controls experts establish the governance and frameworks to get them back on track. When costs spiral, our cost and commercial management specialists protect investment and restore confidence. When digital capability is fragmented, our Hive platform connects data, tools and reporting to give decision-makers the visibility they need. When sustainability targets feel out of reach, our consultants embed low-carbon thinking from the earliest stages of planning. And when clients need to manage assets over the long term — not just deliver them — our integration with CBRE means we remain the right partner throughout the entire lifecycle. Whatever the challenge, we transform performance and create lasting benefits.

Digital Solutions By Industry

Real Estate

Turner & Townsend's Hive and Hive Portal support real estate clients across urban development, sports and venues, industrial, and life sciences projects, reflecting the sector's strongest growth areas in 2025. Globally, across real estate major projects, Turner & Townsend is working across a portfolio of nearly £3tn of capital investment. Key relationships include Shell Real Estate, where Turner & Townsend continues to bring its Hive digital delivery platform, providing benchmarking, project and cost and commercial management tools across offices, labs and industrial facilities in more than 60 countries. Other named wins include the UK's New Hospital Programme and Barclays' headquarters building in New York. Data centres are also emerging as a high-growth real estate sub-vertical where Hive-driven construction management solutions are being deployed at scale.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure continues to benefit from sustained public investment in economic and social assets, with aviation, defence and water identified as the strongest growth drivers within this segment. Landmark Hive-supported programmes include Heathrow Airport's expansion, Anglian Water's long-term capital investment programme, and the Clyde 2070 defence programme in the UK. In the Middle East, infrastructure delivered significant growth, with net revenue increasing to £40.8m, continuing to benefit from long-term investment in transportation, aviation and water infrastructure. The Hive Portal's real-time benchmarking and reporting capability is positioned as directly relevant to large, multi-year public infrastructure programmes where risk visibility and governance are critical. This makes infrastructure one of the platform's most data-intensive use cases given the scale and duration of the underlying projects.

Energy & Natural Resources

Turner & Townsend specialises in major programmes, project, cost and commercial management, project controls and performance, net zero and digital solutions within its energy and natural resources segment. Energy and natural resources also recorded strong growth, with demand continuing to be driven by investment in energy generation and transmission, water security, industrial development and energy transition programmes. Shell Real Estate's renewed 30-year relationship with T&T explicitly includes deployment of the Hive digital delivery platform, which provides benchmarking, project and cost and commercial management tools across Shell's global energy-related sites. The sector's growth is also tied to broader energy transition and decarbonisation investment, an area where T&T positions its net-zero and digital solutions together. This pairing of energy transition advisory with Hive's real-time data capability is a distinguishing feature of the offering in this vertical.

View more

Water & Utilities

Water is called out as one of T&T's strongest growth drivers within infrastructure, alongside aviation and defence, reflecting sustained public investment in this asset class. Anglian Water's long-term capital investment programme is a named example of Hive/Hive Portal deployment in this vertical. T&T also promotes work with Northumbrian Water Group (NWG) to support the UK's AMP8 water asset management cycle, framing Hive's role as bringing clarity to complex, fragmented reporting across large capital programmes. Water security is also flagged as a growth driver within the energy and natural resources segment, suggesting the vertical spans both infrastructure and energy classifications in T&T's own segmentation. Given this overlap, water & utilities may need to be flagged to Laurent as a cross-cutting vertical rather than a single clean taxonomy match.
