Do More Sustainable Building Business
While Spending Less Time and Money
Through Optimo’s bespoke operational improvement and change management services.
Empowering You to Build a Greener World by Supercharging Your Business Operations
At Optimo, we understand the unique challenges facing businesses in the sustainable built environment sector.
Whether you’re a green architect, developer, or supplier, you’re constantly striving to build more efficiently and sustainably – all while keeping costs in check. But the drive to make a positive environmental impact often comes with operational uncertainties: how to do more with less, how to optimise your systems and processes, and how to empower your team to deliver top-notch results without being bogged down by inefficiencies.
We specialise in identifying and eliminating these bottlenecks, ensuring that you can scale your impact and achieve your sustainability goals faster without overstretching your resources. We’re here to bring fresh insights and targeted solutions, allowing you to focus on what really matters: creating greener, healthier buildings for a better future.
Make a Bigger Impact in a Better Way
Fastrack your sustainable design, green construction, clean tech, or retrofitting solutions by optimising business operations.
We meet you wherever you are on your business journey and help you implement relevant and specific changes to your processes, enabling your organisation to move forward with making positive change at pace.
Our experts advise and support on executing operational efficiencies, changing systems and procedures, monitoring and reporting on progress, and any other business improvements needed to help your teams smash their targets and keep your customers happy.
Empower Your People to Succeed
When your systems work how they should, you can give your team the best tools to do their best work.
By optimising your processes and procedures, you make it easy for your technicians, tradies, inspectors, and engineers to just turn up and do a great job.
Enable your teams to do more without overstretching their capacity. With all internal operational headaches removed, they’ll be able to spend more time helping clients and customers understand their energy savings and other advantages of your sustainable technologies and techniques.
Deliver Excellent Customer Service
Looking after your staff frees up their time to focus on providing a great experience for your customers.
The intricacies of solar PVs, heat pumps, Passivhaus airflows, and electrochromic glass are confusing for the average person. So, having someone from your team spend adequate time explaining the relevant information can make a world of difference to your customer’s confidence in the technologies and their satisfaction with your service.
Ultimately, in this way, optimising your operations can supercharge your organisation’s reputation and boost revenues long-term.
I now have an awareness of different operational systems and how to implement them as well as a clearer understanding of how to manage projects and improved confidence. Without Optimo, I would be spending time researching options myself.
Any business that requires project timeline and communication management, in particular, those with a circular and sustainable ethos, would benefit from their services.

Let Optimo Help Your Eco-Building Business Do More with Less
To accelerate your impact, your organisation needs to operate at optimum efficiency. That means elevating your…
People
The sustainable built environment is more than just a combination of materials and technologies to construct infrastructure, offices, and homes. It’s created by people, for people.
For the individuals on your teams to deliver your products and services, they need the time and freedom to perform well at work.
We help you find ways to boost their productivity, increase their motivation, improve engagement, and sustain a positive culture as the organisation grows.
Processes
We understand that it can be challenging to find the time to analyse where improvements in your business processes need to be made, and sometimes finding the capacity to implement the right solutions across all departments simultaneously can be even more complicated.
Our experts can guide you on identifying and applying processes that improve cross-functionality, maximise delivery, and save time and money wherever possible. We are on hand to support you in implementing any process changes that will bolster your team’s effectiveness and customer satisfaction.
At the end of the day, effective business processes mean less firefighting for you and more impact for your organisation.
Technology
Applying technology that supports your aims and eliminating any that doesn’t is another helpful way to drive efficiency.
We can help architects, construction companies, installers, and retrofitters select, launch, and optimise tech packages and infrastructure that make sense for their businesses. These systems enable their teams to save time, money, and stress.
With everything in the back office working as it should, your people can concentrate their skills where they’re needed most.
Information
Whether it’s stats for managing your profit margins, tracking customers’ device usage data, or gauging team engagement and productivity levels, keeping tabs on key information is vital to internal decision-making and the optimisation of all the operational elements needed for your business to thrive.
We work with your team to understand what information is most important before analysing your current systems to identify areas for improvement and – if needed – sourcing and implementing relevant new information architecture.
Knowing we have a plan to be implemented does give us confidence that we have prepared and critically assessed our process.
We really like optimo and how they work so can really recommend working with them.
Optimo have a good ethos and support game changers which requires a different thought process. Optimo really love what they do and helping people “change” the game.

Who We Are
Founded in 2019 by Danielle Heward, Optimo is a B-Corp-certified business improvement firm.
Our clients are at the centre of our universe. When we work with you your organisation’s goals and needs become our entire focus, and we do all we can to help you achieve your purpose.
A carefully selected network of collaborators compliments our small and dedicated team, all working together to move the needle on systems evolution.
We don’t fit the mould of traditional business management consultants – instead, we’re down-to-earth, pragmatic, heart-led human beings. Our people genuinely care about supporting your organisation in making the biggest possible positive impact on nature and society.
We’re also not sustainability consultants. However, all the business improvements and operational systems we suggest for our clients are chosen using a “lens” of responsibility. This ensures your general business operations consider people, the planet, and profit.
