Sectors
Robert Bird Group covers all major sectors of the built environment including Buildings, Infrastructure and Urban Regeneration. Increasingly, many sectors are found together in mixed-use developments, either as functions of a single building or related components of master planned urban regeneration projects. This section provides an introduction to our sector capabilities, and those specialist skill areas such as tall buildings, long span structures, deep basements and modular construction that traverse many sector categories.

Buildings
Commercial
The relationship between people and their work place has been transformed by the development of digital technologies. But, despite these technologies liberating many to work remotely, it is the physical and social collaboration between individuals and teams that’s at the heart of the creative, knowledge sharing.
Construction Equipment & Misc CE
For more than 30 years Robert Bird Group has built one of the finest reputations across the globe in Construction Engineering, and has become the provider of choice for specialist construction engineering services on some of the world’s most complex and high-profile projects.
Civic, Cultural & Public Assembly
Cultural venues including museums, galleries, expo and event spaces and larger entertainment facilities represent the creative centres for all cities and communities bringing people together to share these informative and enjoyable experiences.
Defence & Justice
Vital to every nation’s security, projects in the Defence sector come in many forms, including infrastructure to support active deployments across Army, Navy and Air Force, security and headquarters buildings.
Education, Research & Life Sciences
The twenty-first century has seen a revolution both in the knowledge we have access to, and the way we share it. As a result, educational buildings need to be more adaptive, more flexible.
Hotels & Resorts
Hotels take many forms, from newly constructed individual buildings to boutique or heritage conversions. They may be combined with other uses in a mixed-use development, perhaps vertically stacked within a single building.
Health & Aged Care
Managing human health is a growing global challenge. We are faced with an aging population, chronic diseases, exposure to harmful chemicals, resistant bacteria, and a more connected world where infection can spread faster than ever before.
Industrial
Industrial warehouses, processing and distribution facilities are pragmatically designed structures that are fundamental for the day-to-day functionality and sustenance of communities across the world.
Residential & Retirement
Residential developments define the modern city – where and how we live drives urban spread, social cohesion, and plays a huge part in quality of life, for all of us.
Retail
Since the advent of online trading, retail centres have undergone massive changes in the way they are designed, and function.
Sports & Entertainment
People visit sports and entertainment facilities anticipating an enjoyable experience. This begins with the approach to the venue and embraces the aesthetics of the facade and enclosure.
Tall Buildings
The increasing number of tall and super-tall buildings is a direct response to the rapid urbanisation of our world. Robert Bird Group has developed specialist engineering skills to innovatively deliver these iconic structures.
Urban Masterplanning & Land Development
As our populations grow, the ability to successfully redevelop disused urban land into revitalised residential, commercial, retail and public facilities is vital to maintaining resilient and liveable cities.
Infrastructure
Aviation
Future growth forecasts for aviation passenger travel are staggering, with the IATA predicting that global passenger numbers will double from 2015 to 2035.
Energy & Resources
Using the sun, water, wind, earth, or our waste, to meet our energy needs is an obvious choice to addressing finite non-renewable resources and their subsequent environmental impacts.
Ports & Marines
The world’s ports and shipping lines are the backbone of our logistics networks and global trade, and yet our ports face challenges from ageing infrastructure, climate change, competition, and urban development.
Roads & Highways
The capacity and performance of our road networks directly impact our economic growth, our welfare, and our quality of life. New road projects seek to improve safety, reduce congestion or reduce travel times.
Rail & Metro
Safe and reliable rail services are vital for connecting our communities and industries. As our cities grow out and up, integrated multi-modal transport solutions are required to meet these growing demands.
