Why work with us?
Our hand-picked teams blend political savvy with the vision of an urban designer, the logic of an engineer and the shrewdness of a developer. We forge connections and galvanise opportunities to tackle built environment issues from every angle, weaving hard-headed business acumen with vibrant creativity. Our flexible, cost-effective structure gives you the right level of expertise exactly when you need it, developing your ideas and creating world class projects within tight budgets.
a new way of working
Convening and disbanding like a film’s cast and crew, our teams are agile and responsive to your needs. This saves you time and money without compromising on results.
1. ASSESSMENT
Typically, a project will begin by meeting the LDN Collective’s CEO Max Farrell or one of our project leads. This thorough assessment will establish project goals, scope, budget and timeframes.
2. TEAM
We look to our network to draw together the right team. Whether you need to be in a room with a key person or convene a whole team for a complex project, we pull together the people you need to turn your vision into a reality.
3. PROJECT
Our agile and experienced teams will absorb your vision and get the wheels in motion. With experience in master planning, building design and a wide array of specialisms, we create the insights and advocacy you need.
4. PROCESS
Regular ‘sprints’ and ‘scrums’ keep our work on track, with the client involved throughout the process. This dynamic way of working is creative and efficient.
5. CONTRACTS
The LDN Collective can be the single point of contract (and we sub-contract our members), or if a higher level of PI is required for example, one of our members can act as Project Lead. Alternatively, you can have separate appointments with the LDN Team Members. This way we can offer maximum flexibility.
