This toolkit gives an overview of the main activities across a typical social housing retrofit project lifecycle. The lifecycle divides into three phases: project preparation, project delivery, and post-retrofit.
The preparation phase covers all the activities needed to take a project from initial concept to ready for approval, financing and execution. All these steps are required to make an effective application for funding.
Large-scale social housing retrofit projects are complex. They require the coordination of many teams within your organisation, managing a diverse supply chain, working with partners and various stakeholder groups.
Who should use the toolkit?
The toolkit is aimed at anyone responsible for setting up and delivering a large-scale retrofit project. It will be helpful for those associated with the project who need an overview of the whole project lifecycle.
When should you use the toolkit?
The toolkit is useful throughout the project. Particularly when bringing new groups or individuals into the team or communicating with various stakeholder groups. However, its primary use is to support the core team during the setup phase, summarising all critical tasks and activities.
