\*\*Development Management Platform - A SaaS Enabled Marketplace for the Construction Sector\*\* The UK faces an unprecedented housing shortage; 3.9 million new homes must be built just to meet current demand. Despite this, just half the 340,000 homes needed each year are being built and the shortfall continues to increase. This was the situation in the construction sector before COVID and what we have learnt in the past few months is that adequate housing is an integral part of the fight against COVID. It has been proven that overcrowded and intergenerational housing drastically increases the risks of catching the COVID virus. This has disproportionately affected the BAME community in the UK, as well as those affected by the housing crisis. The UK has enough under-utilised, brownfield land to deliver over 1 million homes so why are we not building the homes we need? There are several reasons for this. Here are a few of the issues that our project will help overcome: 1. The large private sector housebuilders that now dominate the market are mainly interested in the large lucrative sites and are not focused on the smaller brownfield sites. 2. Construction SME's have reduced by 80% in the last 30 years resulting in less competition and less construction capacity for the smaller brownfield sites. 3. Large public sector landowners own a lot of land but they have limited Development Management capacity so they only focus their limited resources on the largest sites. 4. The nascent offsite construction industry is growing but these new providers need access to large pipelines of sites to keep growing. This project consists of R&D to validate the use of a SaaS enabled Marketplace in the UK construction sector. The aspiration is for the Development Management Platform to provide automated Development Management solutions through software (SaaS) and then procure works to our specialist vetted suppliers via an online marketplace. The solution will allow public sector landowners to instantly boost their in-house development capacity via tech whilst unlocking opportunities for SME's and the offsite construction industry at scale. Our aspiration is to allow any public sector landowner to directly develop their land for housing at a click of a button. Our consortium includes RenKap, a government backed PropTech start-up, Ecologic Homes Consultancy, a leading offsite construction consultancy and Advice Cloud, an industry expert in enabling tech companies to overcome public procurement hurdles.

\*\* 开发管理平台-建筑行业的SaaS支持市场\*\* 英国面临前所未有的住房短缺;仅为满足当前需求，就必须建造390万套新房。尽管如此，每年所需的340，000套住房中只有一半正在建设，而且缺口还在继续增加。这就是新型冠状病毒爆发前建筑业的情况，而我们在过去数月所了解到的是，充足的住房是抗击新型冠状病毒不可或缺的一部分。事实证明，过度拥挤和代际相传的住房大大增加了感染COVID病毒的风险。这对英国的BAME社区以及受住房危机影响的人造成了不成比例的影响。英国有足够的未充分利用的布朗菲尔德土地来提供超过100万套住房，那么为什么我们不建造我们需要的住房呢？这有几个原因。以下是我们的项目将帮助克服的一些问题：1。现在主导市场的大型私营部门房屋建筑商主要对利润丰厚的大型地块感兴趣，而不是专注于较小的布朗菲尔德地块。2.在过去的30年里，建筑中小企业减少了80%，导致较小的布朗菲尔德的竞争和建筑能力减少。3.大型公共部门土地所有者拥有大量土地，但他们的开发管理能力有限，因此他们只将有限的资源集中在最大的地块上。4.新兴的场外建筑行业正在增长，但这些新的供应商需要获得大量的场地来保持增长。该项目包括研发，以验证在英国建筑行业使用SaaS支持的市场。开发管理平台的目标是通过软件（SaaS）提供自动化开发管理解决方案，然后通过在线市场向我们的专业审查供应商采购工程。该解决方案将使公共部门的土地所有者能够通过技术立即提高其内部开发能力，同时为中小企业和场外建筑业大规模释放机会。我们的期望是让任何公营部门的土地拥有人只需按一下按钮，便可直接发展其土地作房屋用途。我们的财团包括政府支持的PropTech初创公司RenKap，领先的场外建筑咨询公司Apriic Homes Consultancy和Advice Cloud，后者是帮助科技公司克服公共采购障碍的行业专家。
