Strategic advice

A good real estate project does not start with a solution, but with the right questions. In practice, that often turns out to be harder than expected. What exactly is the problem? Which choices are truly decisive? And what research is needed to move forward?

Embera's strategic advice revolves around research and advice on real estate development, processes, ways of working, and construction and technology. We help you sharpen the core of your question. We commission targeted research and translate the results into concrete choices. We also bring in the most suitable specialists. Embera takes the lead. We steer the process, safeguard quality and make sure the advice doesn't end up in a drawer, but genuinely helps you move forward.

Targeted research and advisory assignments

Our strategic advice takes shape in targeted research and advisory assignments. Think of product development and standardisation, development and further development of real estate concepts, scenario studies and housing research, insight into future scenarios, and programmes of requirements (PoRs). Our advice also covers supplementary projects, such as feasibility studies, variant studies, advisory reports and technical and process-related explorations.

A cross-sector role

Our role is not limited to individual assignments. We are a partner in cross-sector advisory projects, such as the development of the SWK assessment framework for stacked timber construction and the national guideline Vertrouwd Hout. In education, we are involved in the Education Housing Programme (Programma Onderwijshuisvesting). Here we take the lead in developing, among other things, the generic programme of requirements, the blueprint for the Integrated Housing Plan, the decision framework for renovation or new construction and the School Configurator. In projects like these, we bring parties together, steer the content and increase the impact of research and advice.

What working together gives you

A good start is half the job. A cliché? Perhaps, but with new real estate projects it is undeniably true. Whether you work in commercial real estate, leisure or education: every real estate project involves so much that the foundation has to be right. Together we map out your real needs and connect the right experts to them. Think of research assignments, scenario analyses, advisory reports and PoRs. This creates a better project, in which you hardly need to adjust course later on.
