Master Planning

As cities grow and land becomes increasingly constrained, delivering efficient, integrated urban renewal is essential to enhancing communities while leading regenerative design. At Robert Bird Group, we combine expertise in infrastructure, surface water, foul water, utilities and construction planning to develop flexible, coordinated masterplans. We help clients manage complexity, minimise risk and unlock long-term value across multi-phase developments, shaping urban environments that support future growth and enhance quality of life.

We deliver holistic engineering support

Across all stages of masterplanning, from feasibility through to delivery and commissioning. Our teams provide fully integrated civil, structural and geotechnical services, supported by construction sequencing, 3D modelling and digital coordination. These include the link to our virtual design and construction teams.

We are experienced in managing
multi-stage phases

Involving complex challenges, from constrained access and retained heritage structures to below-ground asset protection, utility upgrades and multi-modal transport integration. Our engineers lead the coordination of roads, drainage, public realm and trunk infrastructure across evolving design and construction phases, working with supply strategies to the site to ensure optimal phasing.

We also lead technical engagement with asset owners and local authorities

Supporting approvals and de-risking site constraints early. Our tailored strategies include sustainable drainage systems, district energy integration, earthworks optimisation, highways design and below-ground coordination

Through early-stage planning and technical leadership

We help clients optimise land use, streamline delivery and minimise disruption. Our work has improved outcomes across major renewal sites worldwide, delivering cost savings, construction certainty and enhancing the communities they serve.
