The biggest impact on a housing project often happens before anything is built.
More housing providers are getting involved earlier in development where decisions about design, financing, construction, and delivery models are still being made, bringing their operational expertise into the process at a much earlier stage. This helps ensure financial, operational, and structural considerations are built into projects from the start.
This session will support you to:
- Understand the full range of development approaches available, including financing models, modern methods of construction, joint ventures, portfolio delivery, and operator-led design, along with when to consider each
- Assess the pros and cons of different design, financing, and construction choices, including how they affect cost, risk, control, and delivery outcomes
- Understand how partnerships with consultants and delivery teams can simplify finance, design, and construction while improving project performance
- Bring operational expertise into earlier design and planning stages to better shape housing outcomes
Using Base Design™, Housing as Infrastructure®, and NOSDA’s portfolio housing initiative, EllisDon Community Builders will demonstrate how these approaches can increase non-profit control, reduce risk, and accelerate delivery.
Leave with a clearer understanding of the options available, how to assess trade-offs, and how stronger early-stage involvement and partnerships can improve project outcomes.
