5. Building and project management
With all your funding, project plans, and consents in place, infrastructure, and building work can get underway. It's good to get any building contracts checked by your lawyer.
This step requires you to undertake research, learn, and gather information about your land, its governance, and the whānau who might want to live there.
Your detailed research and investigation will give you confidence that your papakāinga housing development is viable and will identify any likely barriers.
This is when you'll work with any funding providers to negotiate funding. They'll do a thorough assessment of your project and will expect to see things like:
-
business case and project plan
-
resource and building consent
-
cost estimates and quotes
-
projected ongoing operating costs and revenue for the papakāinga project management details.
6. Maintenance and management
The mahi doesn't stop when building work is finished. There will be new responsibilities for the trust to manage as landlord of the papakāinga. There will be ongoing mahi managing and maintaining the houses and working with tenants.
