Innovating

Our Demonstration Projects
Creating new ways to design and build places

Learning from successful projects such as Poundbury and Nansledan, the Regional Building Foundation will develop tools that speed up housing delivery, reduce costs and enhance quality and design.

The Foundation will support innovation through digital pattern books, coordinated supply chains, modern construction systems and demonstrator projects.

We will place particular emphasis on combining traditional placemaking principles with modern delivery systems, environmental performance and regional identity.

Over time, the Foundation will also support innovation hubs and demonstrator projects where members and the public can explore practical examples of Place Building in action.
