Welcome

Global Board Chair, RLB
“We believe that when we bring people together, the right people doing things the right way, we make progress for our clients and communities.”
Welcome to Rider Levett Bucknall’s 2026 Global Annual Report.
If there is one theme running through this report, it is this: the built environment is being asked to deliver more, with less margin for error, than ever before.
Ambition alone is not enough. Judgement matters just as much. At RLB, that judgement is guided by our four company values: Truth, Trust, Together and Tomorrow.
We work alongside clients at moments of real consequence: where cost, sustainability, performance and risk must be balanced, and where the quality of decision-making directly shapes the outcomes of projects and programmes.
We believe that when we bring people together, the right people doing things the right way, we make progress for our clients and communities.
What does this progress look like?
It means iconic landmark buildings which define city skylines and national identities.
It’s sustainable places for people to live, work and enjoy, from single buildings to whole neighbourhoods.
And it’s modern, resilient and cost-effective infrastructure that forms the foundation of thriving societies and economies.
At RLB, we are passionate about what we do, and happy to share our knowledge for the benefit of all, which is why in this report we are proud to present:
- Our data – regional and global data sets, coupled with analysis and forecasts from our local experts, offer insight into construction markets around the world.
- Our ideas – thought leadership informed by real-world experience, exploring how the industry can respond to rising expectations for sustainable, ethical, productive and value-adding projects.
- Our projects – six projects which exemplify how our teams innovate, overcome challenges and make a difference, achieving the best outcomes for our clients, local communities, society and the environment.
We are also proud to showcase what makes RLB the thriving, inclusive and creative organisation that it is today – our people, culture, heritage and commitment to ESG. All of which is underpinned by our values – the foundations that allow us to make sound judgements when the stakes are high.
By acting with Truth, building Trust, working Together and safeguarding Tomorrow, we believe we can contribute to a better, fairer built environment for everyone.
