How we do it
Holistic
From inception through to design and delivery, Mortons – Urban Solutions has an appreciation for all facets of a project. We take a holistic approach to the delivery of our services, which allows us to maximise the commercial and financial viability of each development we are involved with.
Progressive
It is a core company strength to question processes and boundaries throughout the lifecycle and delivery of a project. This allows for the determination of whether an established process is the correct one to adopt for any given project. “We have done it this way before” is not sufficient reason for Mortons – Urban Solutions to continue with a practice.
Proactive
We take a proactive role in being involved at all stages of a project so as to influence sound development outcomes and streamline processes moving forward.
Personal
A flat internal structure allows us to offer a highly personalised service. Clients have direct access to Directors and/or Senior Engineers on all projects.
Collaborative
We appreciate the human scale required for good urban outcomes. We take a collaborative approach in welcoming the introduction of specialist consultant input such as town planning, landscape, environmental, architectural and urban design elements into the civil design and overall development delivery.
Positivity
It is a company ethic to remain positive in negotiating outcomes with our clients, councils and authorities. In doing this we are mindful of the commerciality of a project to our client and adopt a cost/benefit approach to reflect this commercial reality. Common sense is our guide.
Professional
Mortons – Urban Solutions position of integrity, transparency and trust is supported by a backbone of strong work ethic and continued innovation.
