Our VISION
& Values
To deliver the future, creating sustainable positive impact and growth for businesses, people and communities.
Everything we do is underpinned by our core values:
Integrity
We are unwavering in our commitment to delivering high quality services to our customers. So much so, that people trust us again and again to deliver their projects.
And it works both ways. We’re successful because we trust our people and recognise and value their talents and skill.
Pride
We go above and beyond for our clients, and we’re committed to delivering outstanding service and quality every day, for every project.
We’re proud of the work we do and the buildings and projects that we help to deliver. We take pride in the role we play to bring change and sustainability to buildings, places and communities.
Challenge
We’re committed to delivering our clients’ vision and projects and partnering in a way that pushes commercial priorities and sustainability.
We achieve this through a culture of collaborative, professional challenge. We challenge each other, our clients and our project partners, we’re comfortable asking questions and doing things differently in pursuit of progress. It’s in our DNA.
Our services & approach
Since CHP was founded in 1989, our core service of cost management has expanded to meet the growing and developing needs of our clients.
Sustainability
We’re passionate about delivering projects that make a positive contribution to our planet – it’s at the heart of our vision and central to our business.
So when it comes to sustainability, we’re uncompromising. We understand the importance our clients place on developing sustainable projects and we have the knowledge and expertise to deliver projects that deliver commercially, and for the environment.
Whether you’re planning an innovative refurbishment or retrofit to minimise embodied carbon, or a smart new build that will harness modern and sustainable methods of construction to minimise environmental impact, we have the knowledge and experience to deliver.
Our experience
- 15+ years in market-leading renewable energy projects.
- Extensive experience delivering highly sustainable new build and refurbishment and retrofit projects to international standards (BREEAM, LEED, NABERS, Carbon Net Zero).
- Practical, nuanced knowledge of modern methods of construction and their impact to cost.
Our team
Our people are driven and committed to delivering outstanding services to our clients. Everyone at CHP is trusted and empowered to work independently and creatively to deliver the best possible solutions for our clients.
