South West Norse
Supporting communities across Exeter and Devon
Supporting Devon residents
Formed in 2022, South West Norse combines national expertise with deep local knowledge. With around 1,000 employees across the South West, we deliver efficient, resilient, and sustainable services. By aligning with local priorities and reinvesting profits into the community, we support economic growth, regional suppliers, and local employment.
Our work improves public services, strengthens partnerships, and helps clients achieve social, environmental, and economic objectives, ensuring lasting benefits for the communities we serve.
Innovation in action
We use advanced surveying, engineering, and design technologies to deliver high-precision data, smarter project planning, and better compliance. Our multidisciplinary teams integrate architecture, consultancy, and facilities management, guiding clients through complex projects.
From sustainable building design to full asset management, we prioritise safety, efficiency, and value, using tools like BIM, Revit modelling, and asset mapping. Our approach ensures coordinated delivery across all phases, mitigates risk early, and maximises outcomes for clients, enabling confident decision-making and consistently high-performing results.
For people and the planet
Sustainability is central to everything we do. We reduce our carbon footprint through local sourcing, electric vehicles, and eco-friendly operations, while supporting Devon’ County Council’s net zero targets. Our investment in social value includes apprenticeships, graduate placements, school engagement, and community initiatives. By creating local employment opportunities and fostering future talent, we deliver public benefit beyond contracts. Every project balances environmental responsibility with community impact, ensuring that our services not only meet client needs but also enhance wellbeing and resilience across the South West.
