For housing associations and councils
By the time a scheme reaches you, the big decisions are made.
If you have land, or a site in mind, you can start earlier. Our value-led feasibility study begins with what matters to your board.

Housing associations and local authority development teams across the North West and beyond.
A developer or land promoter secures a site, takes it through planning and brings it to you as a package deal: the design, the builder and the price. They carry the early risk, so they make the early decisions. Every firm in their supply chain then adds its own margin.
The design, the building method and the firms involved are the ones the developer already uses. What you need is squeezed in afterwards, where there's room.
By the time the package reaches you, planning is done and the big choices are made. You can say yes, haggle over the price, or start again.
Our value-led feasibility study works for land you own, a site you're thinking of buying, and land held by the council or a partner. We work with your team from the first conversation to a scheme you chose.
A scheme arrives with planning done
You're asked to say yes
You live with it for sixty years
We agree what matters to your board
We test what the site can hold
We compare the ways it could be built
We check who could build it, and recommend a route
The risk in a scheme is the same either way. Lead it, and you see it early and manage it, with us alongside you.
Every board wants something slightly different from a scheme. We sit down with your team and agree what matters most on this site, and by how much. Then we score each way of building against that list, so the choice is yours and you can defend it at board.
Illustrative. Your list and weights will be your own.
We test your site against every way to build it: traditional, timber frame, factory panels and modules. We pick whichever gives you the best value, then design it so several firms can price it.
If one pulls out, the others can still build your scheme.
