OUR EXTENT VALUES
ACHIEVE MORE TOGETHER
Our team extends beyond Extent.
Goals are achieved more easily when we work as a collective. It’s not just about head, but about heart too. It means understanding diverse views, having robust discussions, engaging local communities and sharing our learning. With a common vision and mutual respect, we can build long-term, sustainable relationships with clients and stakeholders that last well beyond the life of a project.
UNLOCK VALUE
Heritage opens up new opportunity.
We always look for the win-win and won’t upsell unnecessary services. Combining this ethos with the broad range of our expertise keeps us primed to add tangible value to a project, lower the project risk profile and give the past a sustainable future.
LEAD THE WAY
The world continually evolves.
Nothing reminds us of that more than the lessons found in heritage. We’re engaged in quality research and matters of best practice and professional ethics, and we actively develop innovative approaches to meet the changing needs of our work, our business and our industry.
TAKE OWNERSHIP
We see challenge as an opportunity.
We stay accountable and responsible for managing expectations, owning processes and delivering outcomes. We ‘walk the talk’ and see a challenge as an opportunity. It’s about getting things done—we don’t leave people hanging.
THE TRUTH MATTERS
We don’t assume anything.
We understand that our reputation has an impact on the credibility of our clients, and the same is true in reverse. We don’t assume anything. The advice we provide and the actions we take are informed by thorough research so we can stand by them with conviction and transparency. It’s what our clients expect and depend upon.
