Sustainable development

Every step of the way, from design to delivery and beyond, we work to minimise environmental impact and improve the world around us.

We work with local communities to ensure every development has a net positive effect for the local area.

We work with partners who share our commitment to leaving a positive legacy across the South for generations to come.

Community engagement

We listen to people in the communities where we work to deliver developments that improve their environment, create local job opportunities, and leave the region better than we found it.

Our developments are designed with wellbeing in mind – for those who use the exceptional spaces we create, and for those who live around them.

Wellness within Kingsbridge

Our people are the reason for our success, and we want every Kingsbridge team member to be happy, healthy and productive.

We are committed to supporting the physical and mental wellbeing of our team, as well as each individual’s professional and personal development.
