Developers' evaluation framework
Developers increasingly recognise that they can’t succeed just by building buildings, any more than they can find a competitive advantage in the market place just by watching costs and prices. When government regulators start using socio-economic measures and indicators to test sustainability – both social and environmental – developers need to respond.
As a developer, you need to know who you have to engage with during a project development process and afterwards, why it is important to engage with them, how and when to do it, and what concerns have to be tackled.
nef consulting has the experience, skills and tools to help developers create their own Socio-Economic Framework for any development, adaptable to an organisation’s development projects and stakeholders, which will not only demonstrate an understanding of socio-economic engagement and measurement, but also help them put it into practice.
The business case: The framework demonstrates the economic case for integrating socio-economic considerations into project design and management, which gives you competitive advantage in negotiating for development options.
Regulations: The framework is informed by the latest thinking from regulatory bodies at local, regional and national level on issues around well-being, the environment, community cohesion and other socio-economic considerations.
Suite of tools: We have a number of innovative socio-economic measurement tools and engagement techniques to help deliver the framework’s suggested activities, including a sustainable procurement model, local money flows measurement tool and distinctiveness measure.
Indicators: The framework is designed to generate indicators of socio-economic success.
Going beyond requirements: It gives you a strategic management tool that shows you are not just keeping to current requirements, but can exceed them.
Adaptable: The framework is adaptable enough to range across any of the different kinds of project you might be engaged in. It can also be tailored to your current community engagement delivery structures.
