The Power of Trust and Global Reach

At Habit Action, our story began over 40 years ago as a family-owned construction business rooted in hands-on experience and client trust. Today, we stand as a forward-thinking leader in workplace strategy, design, and delivery, serving clients across continents with the same precision, care, and consistency that defined our beginnings in London.

Our extension beyond the UK is not a story of opportunism – it’s one of trust. Our global footprint is built on longstanding relationships with clients who have brought us with them on their international growth journeys. From across the EMEA regions to further afield, our clients demand the same high-calibre delivery across borders – and we make it happen through a refined global partnership model and a proven delivery methodology.

A Strategic and Trusted Network

Delivering workspaces globally requires more than a passport and a promise. It requires a scalable and tested operational framework. At Habit Action, we’ve developed a robust international delivery system that ensures:

• Consistency of design and workplace strategy, with our industry-leading team driving the creative and analytical vision. View our workplace strategy here.
• Quality-assured construction delivery, powered by our trusted and vetted network of regional experts, onboarded through a meticulous 7-stage due diligence process that includes site inspections, in-person interviews, and peer references.

Our Global Delivery Process

Whether executing a 5,000 sq ft innovation hub in Paris or a 50,000 sq ft HQ in London, our process remains structured, predictable, and high-touch:

1. Scoping & Market Outreach: Our HQ team outlines the regional partner scope, leveraging global networks to identify qualified candidates.
2. Due Diligence: We evaluate shortlisted firms through presentations, certifications, and rigorous interviews. Site inspections are conducted by our Operations team.
3. Client Collaboration: Meetings in person at the project space with shortlisted Partners, with the option for our Client to join these interviews.
4. Mobilisation & Delivery: We integrate selected partners into our global delivery model, with oversight from our UK HQ ensuring accountability, speed, and control.

Strategy-Led Design, Informed by Market Data

Our global projects begin not with drawings, but with data. From post-COVID return-to-office strategies to remote working patterns and hybrid space demand, we analyse each organisation’s unique needs. Our Remote Readiness Survey has captured insights from over 15,000 employees globally, informing strategies for more than 7 million sq ft of workplace transformation.

According to JLL’s 2024 Future of Work report, 87% of global employers are planning workplace redesigns focused on hybrid flexibility and employee experience. At Habit Action, we translate these trends into actionable strategy – from persona-based work models to customer experience mapping, change management and wellbeing integration.

Local Delivery, Global Expertise

Our hybrid model – a centralised strategic and design engine combined with decentralised, regionally embedded construction teams – ensures speed, agility, and cost control. This allows us to deliver:

• Faster mobilisation of on-site teams across regions.
• Greater budget certainty, thanks to fixed-cost planning and contractual risk assumptions.
• Turnkey solutions, tailored to local codes and cultures but consistent with your global brand.

We support various forms of contract, including, JCT, FIDIC Yellow, Red and Silver Book – adapting our approach based on complexity, design responsibility, and client risk tolerance. Whether you’re expanding with a DBO contract in the Middle East or a JCT in the UK, we tailor our governance and delivery accordingly.

Insight-Led, Client-Centric

Our process spans from leadership engagement and data collection through to design development, construction, and aftercare. But what truly differentiates Habit Action is our alignment with business strategy at every step.

Each global workspace is delivered with measurable outcomes tied to:

• Business performance and team collaboration.
• Real estate optimisation and carbon impact.
• Employee wellbeing and retention.

A Proven Model, Trusted by Global Brands

Today, over 75% of our international work comes from repeat clients – a testament to our ability to deliver consistently, regardless of geography. We are proud to be the partner of choice for forward-thinking companies looking to scale their workspace strategy alongside their global ambitions.
