To ensure successful development outcomes, project development encompasses six pre-construction stages of a project prior to the actual building. These are:
Development of project partnerships to deliver affordable and community housing.
Consultation with stakeholders to ensure that various parties’ needs are incorporated into the project
Sourcing appropriate land and undertaking feasibility studies including site layouts and costings
Securing donor capital contributions
Preparing submissions to obtain capital funding from government bodies, and borrowings from financial institutions
Negotiation of contracts and other agreements
Community Housing Ltd have a dedicated project management team who understand the project development process and have hands-on experience and intimate knowledge of both the planning and design and construction processes.
Community Housing Ltd’s project development capability is a crucial part of the organisation’s vertically-integrated approach in which Community Housing Ltd manages an entire project from sourcing funding and land to long term management of tenants in the new property.
