PROBLEM SOLVING
Identifying Opportunities, Scoping, Planning and Delivering Projects
At View10D we provide workable cost-effective solutions to complex real estate issues. This could be how to balance the financial and social returns of an entire portfolio, evolving service strategic requirements or the detail of a transaction to ensure Best Value. In every scenario we provide a way forward through clear guidance.
Launching any public sector project involving real estate means navigating a complex landscape of interrelated variables. At View10D, we specialise in guiding clients through these challenges using systematic approaches tailored to each unique context. From the outset, we combine strategic insight with hands-on delivery expertise to ensure plans are both visionary and grounded in practical reality.
Our ability to recognise and harness the strengths of diverse stakeholders and advisors makes us particularly effective at uniting public sector bodies. We understand how to build trust and alignment across organisations, enabling collaborative progress to deliver mutual value.
One solution we have developed is our Concept Viability Report , for repurposing a building for healthcare. This allows councils and the NHS to identify early the likelihood of delivering benefits and the ongoing costs of such a project, and make a ‘go/ no go’ decision before commissioning plans and investigations.
Our experience and ability to draw on a range of experts means, we can open doors that were previously thought to be locked - asking the right question of the right person
ESTATE OPTIMISATION
At View 10D, we support organisations in reshaping their estates to better serve their mission and deliver long-term value. We work with clients to create estate strategies and deliverable plans that remain grounded in corporate objectives. This includes rationalisation strategies, asset repositioning, and master planning for regeneration—tailored to each client’s unique context and goals.
Our Methodology
Our approach is rooted in a Whole Estate Optimisation methodology. Whether the driver is new service provision, income generation, decarbonisation, or another priority, our STRATA methodology provides a clear, mission-focused framework.
We align technical uncertainties through a combination of AI-driven insights and specialist advice, integrating occupational, financial, and social needs. By identifying where each asset sits in the real estate cycle, our dynamic modelling enables clients to assess, plan, and adapt strategies over time.
Early Insights
We draw upon a network of trusted specialists—including architects, planners, financial analysts, and service designers to produce a strategic overview of every aspect of the whole of your estate. This enables an informed approach to developing a detailed plan whilst minimising abortive fees.
Increasing Market Values
Our in-depth knowledge of property investment and valuation enables us to make existing buildings have a higher market value by employing a vast array of asset management tactics. These are timed to be in line with an income or disposals strategy, to bring maximum benefit to the organisation.
Funding Opportunities
Our holistic approach includes identifying and helping structure funding opportunities—including public grants, private investment, and blended finance models—to support estate transformation. Our experience in joint ventures, land value capture, and social investment partnerships ensures funding strategies are both innovative and compliant.
Whether you're consolidating assets, planning for growth, or responding to urgent operational needs, our estate optimisation helps you achieve a balanced return —financially, socially, and strategically—while remaining agile to future change.
Consider your estate from all dimensions
GREEN BOOK BUSINESS CASES
Securing Public Sector Capital
Vision and strategy
At its heart, every business case needs to make a compelling case for change. We work with senior stakeholders to develop and translate organisational/ system vision and strategies so they align with and support making the case for capital investment.
Business case authorship
We have extensive experience of authoring and reviewing business cases, at all stages, and for all 5 cases of the ‘5 case model’. We have produced Strategic Outline Cases, Outline Business Cases and Full Business Cases.
Stakeholder engagement
Drawing on our experience of working with senior leaders, we design and run workshops to develop strategies and appraise options.
Lead Consultant
We have an extensive network of trusted contacts in construction and property consultancy. This, together with our strong project management capability and seniority means we are well placed to be the ‘Lead Consultant’ on business cases, bringing together other expert advisers as and when needed.
NAVIGATING GOVENANCE AND ENSURING BEST VALUE
We help clients establish robust data governance frameworks that support project delivery and ensure best value from the outset. The data governance frameworks provide a structured approach to managing the information required in a real estate project ensuring the sources provide the level of professional expertise and liability required.
In some cases, we’ve been brought in when due diligence or best value considerations were only addressed midway through or even at the end of a project. While we can still assist at that stage, there are clear advantages to embedding a data governance framework from the beginning.
Early involvement allows us to shape robust business cases (e.g. compliant with HM Treasury 'Green Book' guidance), negotiate contract terms, or ensure the right basis of instruction for a S123 or S119 Valuations. A well-structured framework reduces costs, clarifies data, and supports transparent, justifiable decision-making. Aligning project workflows with governance frameworks also accelerates decision-making and keeps projects moving forward.
We work across the public sector, charities, and universities—each governed by distinct legislation but united by a shared goal: delivering great services for people and value for money for the public purse.
Data Governance Frameworks
COMBINED FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Combined Financial and Social Return (CFSR) Data Models & Matrices
Our CFSR models and matrices are designed to help clients balance financial and social returns from the earliest stages of a project.
Jacqui Baxter developed the first model to supported a town centre regeneration project involving eight buildings. It enabled multiple stakeholders to evaluate competing objectives—service delivery, regeneration, and financial return—across multiple options simultaneously.
Traditional approaches often separate financial analysis from social return on investment (SROI), typically applying SROI retrospectively once a plan is formed. This limits the ability to evolve a plan that truly balances both financial and social outcomes—especially when projects involve a mix of investment and service-led properties.
Our models are most effective when used from the concept stage, before detailed plans are developed. Their continued use throughout the project lifecycle ensures decisions remain aligned with evolving priorities and external factors, helping to maximise overall benefit.
CFSR Models and Matrices are powerful tools for full estate optimisation, but they also support single transactions, approvals processes, and operational decision-making.
By supporting mission-led decision-making and providing clarity across all options, these tools help organisations make resilient choices—reducing abortive costs and delays, even when leadership or project direction changes.
Each model is tailored to the organisation’s unique context, project objectives, and risk profile.
