Evolve Norse is a joint venture between Norse Group and the London Borough of Waltham Forest.
Evolve Norse
Supporting communities across Waltham Forest
Delivering Waltham Forest’s public projects with impact
Since 2007, Evolve Norse has partnered with the London Borough of Waltham Forest to provide professional services for schools, housing, and corporate buildings. Renewed in 2015 and reset in 2022 under a five-plus-five-year agreement, the JV delivers the council’s growing capital investment programme, ensuring projects are efficient, high quality, and socially valuable. By employing locally and engaging regional supply chains, Evolve Norse strengthens the borough’s economy while supporting sustainable, community-focused development.
Creating value beyond buildings
Evolve Norse has transformed the borough’s estate, delivering over 729 projects worth £450 million, including schools, new homes, libraries, and community facilities. Our work generates £2.20 of social value for every £1 spent, creating jobs, apprenticeships, and skills development. Initiatives include affordable housing, climate-focused education centres, and support for local culture, alongside mentoring schemes for women in construction. Evolve Norse partners with local suppliers to maximise social and environmental impact, ensuring public assets and communities thrive far beyond the buildings we deliver.
