Our Purpose
Pioneering Sustainable Development
About Us
Mainer is a sustainability consultancy with a passion for the built environment. We believe that buildings have a vital role in supporting those who inhabit their spaces, and in safeguarding a common future. We aim to inspire and support businesses and organisations with the strategies, insights and actions to become more meaningful for their customers, communities, and the environment.
We work with clients who share our values across a range of sectors from commercial property development, retail and leisure, public sector, education, healthcare and residential.
With offices in Manchester and Oxfordshire, no matter where you or your property is in the UK, our team of sustainability consultants is here to support you.
“We are experts in enabling solutions for improving the environmental & sustainability performance of the built environment. We help make informed choices, at key project milestones, empowering clients to dictate the sustainability credentials being sought, while minimising impact to the Cost Plan. We assess your development’s performance across a number of areas, providing expert advice for planning, construction, operation, in order to reduce the impact of a development, through a Whole Life approach.”
- Ben Wells, Managing Director
Our mission is to empower organisations to develop and operate more sustainably and and to support them to achieve net zero.
Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals
We specialize in sustainability consultancy for the construction industry, delivering services that are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We help clients to design and build assets that are environmentally conscious and built to last. But we also ensure they are socially responsible and economically viable through the assessments we conduct at each RIBA Stage.
