We get asked daily to run scenarios through Neuron to identify cost or space-saving opportunities on projects that are over budget. We can always find some; from modest improvements in small projects to large opportunities in tall towers. However, when we work with a precinct, with a completely blank canvas, the potential is enormous. Simple strategies like community titles, shared infrastructure, and strategic servicing strategies baked in from the get-go can unlock tens of millions in value uplifts. Very easy to do during the masterplan phase, but extremely difficult once the projects progress into the next phase and designs start to get locked in. Given the cost challenges we face in Australia, after looking at hundreds of different built forms over the last two years, we believe this specific built form offers the most significant opportunity to do more with less. This approach can meaningfully improve a project's feasibility, reducing the cost of housing while still unlocking more money to invest in sustainability and amenities improvements. We really enjoy supporting masterplanned precincts and would love to share what we've learned with others.

We're incredibly excited to be involved in a transformative project for the iconic institution, The Tradies Canberra, within the Dickson Town Centre. Designed by Stewart Architecture and Arcadia Landscape Architecture, the Dickson Green masterplan includes a vibrant mixed-use precinct of 600 apartments, some reaching up to 12 storeys, a new hotel, expanded club facilities, and ground-floor retail. We're proud to be a part of the team enhancing the vibrancy and sustainability of the Dickson Town Centre, supporting Finding Infinity with their exciting vision.
