What we can offer

Avison Young’s Electric Vehicle infrastructure experts help clients deliver smarter, better-connected infrastructure – built for today and ready for tomorrow. In a fast-changing sector, we're here to support at every step.

Site acquisition and rollout

We help clients identify and secure prime locations for EV charging stations – from retail parks to logistics hubs. Leveraging our relationships with multi-site landlords and regional consultancy teams, we streamline acquisition and accelerate rollout. We assess grid capacity, traffic flow, and commercial viability to ensure sites deliver long-term value. From single stations to scaling networks, we help clients deliver innovation at pace and scale. Let our expert team support your EV roadmap.

Planning & consents for EV charging sites

EV infrastructure planning is evolving fast, shaped by streamlined regulations and new funding opportunities. Our planning specialists work closely with local authorities to secure approvals and manage environmental and legal consents. With recent changes designed to accelerate delivery, we help clients navigate permitted development rights, local engagement, and funding applications. Whether you're installing new or  expanding a network, we'll guide you throughout.

Lease advisory

Getting it right for the long-term is key. We advise landowners and operators on structuring lease agreements that protect value and support infrastructure goals into the future. Our team negotiates terms with EV charge point operators, reviews rental income potential, and ensures compliance with planning and legal frameworks. With experience in fast-paced markets and large portfolios, we create bespoke databases and reporting tools to help clients manage assets efficiently and reduce risk.

Experts in smart city infrastructure

We support the delivery of smart mobility networks, integrated transport hubs, and future-ready charging solutions. From rapid corridors to urban EV clusters, we help shape infrastructure that supports connected travel and low-carbon goals. Drawing on Avison Young’s wider expertise in telecoms, planning, and smart city strategy, we advise on location, integration, and partnerships with local authorities and energy providers. 

Building engineering services

Our building engineering consultants help clients design, upgrade, and manage building systems. From heating and cooling to lighting, lifts, and energy use. We work across all sectors, supporting acquisitions, developments, and operations. Whether you're planning new systems or solving performance issues, our team offers expert troubleshooting and tailored advice. We're here to support you on improving building efficiency, enhancing sustainability, and delivering  long-term value from your property.

Planned preventative maintenance

Our planned maintenance specialists help clients avoid unexpected repair costs by assessing a building’s condition and creating tailored maintenance schedules. These plans span five to ten years, outlining works and associated costs. The result? Clarity and control. We work closely with you to understand your priorities. Our experts deliver practical, reliable advice. It’s all about helping you protect your assets, plan ahead, and stay compliant - avoiding risk and unwanted surprises.
