We deliver large-scale, area wide regeneration over the long-term, in places where it really matters, helping to change people’s lives economically, socially and sustainably, today and for generations to come.

Our Approach

Partnership approach

We believe in the power of partnership and leveraging the complementary strengths, resources and expertise of each partner to drive pace, quality and innovation, creating a positive impact in the places where we work.

Sustainable approach

We minimise our impact on the environment through thoughtful design, delivering sustainable, energy-efficient communities. We maximise our long-term social and economic impact by delivering genuine mixed-use, multi-tenure places, and creating economic opportunities throughout the delivery process and beyond.

Community first approach

A strong collaborative approach lies at the heart of our mission, via local engagement and listening to the community. Working with specialist expertise, local stakeholders, business owners and residents, old and new, to ensure every change we make is a change for the better.

How we are different

We deliver large-scale, area wide regeneration over the long-term, in places where it really matters, helping to change people’s lives economically, socially and sustainably, today and for generations to come.

We are unlockers

We make things happen in places where others can’t.

The only way to change the long-term view of large-scale urban renewal – and what’s possible, is the ECF combined approach to investment, regeneration and place-making.
We can tread where others can’t, turning ‘difficult’ into viable. This kind of positive place-making, at great scale, makes the ECF strategic approach, credible, problem solving and an unlocker of potential.

We are pioneers

ECF have the ability to innovate, from business model through to delivery.

Innovation comes in many guises – the ECF hybrid model demonstrates the powerful effects of long-term thinking and planning on the regeneration of our towns and cities. Our supergroup effect leads the way in how we can create lasting change across the country. We’re pushing boundaries in placemaking, sustainability and construction to make better places for all.

We are trusted.

Delivery, financial standing and tenacity.

We are trusted by the people we work with, our partners, the community, and our supply chain. Our unique partnership allows a stable and robust approach to long term development. Besides this, we have won a reputation for delivery, doing what we say we will do and doing it well.

Social impact

We work in partnership to ensure that the communities we work in are founded on social impact and health and wellbeing.

Our long-term approach to placemaking, community and sustainability aims to improve lives today and for generations to come.
