About Sustain Surveying

Leading the Transition to a Sustainable Built Environment

The world is changing rapidly, and property owners today face a complex landscape of diminishing resources and technological shifts. At Sustain Surveying, we don't just see these as challenges; we see them as opportunities to build better. We are a future-oriented, multidisciplinary chartered surveying practice dedicated to embedding sustainability into the heart of the urban, rural, and oceanic environments.

Guided by Dr. Gregory Borne’s 20-Year Legacy

Our practice is led by Dr. Gregory Borne (BSc, MSc, PhD, MRICS, MIEnvSc, CEnv), a leading voice in sustainable development. With over two decades of experience advising international governments, NGOs, and businesses, Dr. Borne brings a level of insight rarely found in traditional surveying firms. Currently authoring his fifth book on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, he ensures our team stays at the absolute vanguard of the profession.
