Sectors

Housing
Our work on housing projects is founded in a firm belief that we create places where people want to live, which fit their lifestyles and needs. We use a fresh and intelligent approach to design which puts people and place at its heart, whilst also delivering desirable high quality homes.

Education
We create and maintain high quality, innovative spaces that inspire, motivate, and provide the best possible environment for teaching and learning, so that all young people can flourish and reach their full potential. NPS is a major contributor to the development of flexible and sustainable learning environments across the UK.

Government
NPS works with many major government departments, agencies, non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) and local authorities to help achieve required improvement targets such as:

• Efficiency savings
• Sustainable operations on the Government Estate
• Accommodation and space standards

We have a team of highly qualified experts who have worked with a range of local authorities, police forces, the Met and other government agencies.

Commercial
We provide customer-focused solutions for businesses through a range of consultancy services. We are experienced in dealing with retail, industrial and office/commercial premises for our clients. We add value by providing professional, related services in-house, using skills and resources from our network of UK offices. Our staff combine a clear understanding of our clients’ needs with a wide-ranging commercial acumen, to help local businesses to thrive and grow.

Civic and Community
Our roots within the public sector have given us a strong awareness of the current agendas and drivers that affect other civic and community properties. Central to this is the need for us to help our clients achieve cost savings and demonstrable value for money. Our strategic asset management programmes help our clients realise the full potential of their portfolios, and rationalise them where further efficiencies can be identified.

Healthcare
NPS has a growing reputation with delivering healthcare projects as we continue to expand our service provision to new and existing clients. Our work within health largely centred around the provision of property consultancy services to Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) and to public and private sector healthcare providers across the UK. This has included the provision of feasibility studies, building design, planned and reactive services maintenance as well as estate management.
