IES, a leading provider of climate tech solutions to the built environment, and global construction consultancy Soben, have announced a strategic partnership. The agreement will enable Soben’s accurate and up-to-date cost data to be incorporated IES’ digital twin technology.
As the built environment faces increasing pressure to prioritise decarbonisation, Soben and IES have developed technology that helps guide the journey to net-zero – making it more financially feasible.

Signing the partnership at London Climate Action Week, representatives from Soben and IES recognised the increasing pressure on businesses to prioritise sustainability.
“Our partnership with IES marks a significant milestone in our shared mission to make sustainability affordable,” said Pieter Schaap, Director at Soben. “We believe that sustainability should not be pursued blindly, but rather approached intelligently to ensure maximum impact with every investment made. By harnessing the power of our joint offering, we empower clients to embrace sustainability as a strategic advantage while achieving meaningful cost savings.”
The collaboration helps organisations roadmap significant energy, carbon, capital, and operational savings, while simultaneously considering resource use, transport, social, and economic factors.

IES contributes its cutting-edge technical engine, enabling the creation of a Digital Twin that accurately models and simulates real-world assets.

On the partnership Don McLean, IES Founder and CEO said:

IES’s digital twin technology aids clients by setting out a clear path to net zero and, when combined with up-to-date cost data, organisations can ensure they are also optimising asset profitability too. “The clock is ticking for the built environment to catch up with decarbonisation targets, and we are immensely pleased that Soben will be joining us in our efforts to help futureproof the nation’s build stock.”

About Soben
Soben offers something different – a combination of the best consultancy practices, with hands-on commercial experience delivering major construction projects. Founder Scott Smyth started in private practice, before moving to work for contractors as a commercial manager. Scott found that he struggled to identify organisations to support him that understood the commercial reality of being a major contractor working on high-risk projects with low-profit margins.
As a result, Scott founded Soben. Since 2011, we’ve been supporting some of the world’s leading organisations, increasing certainty for their construction investments through cost, project, programme, and risk management consultancy – proudly shaping the future with integrity.
