Architect As Developer

This session focuses on empowering small practices and sole practitioners to leverage their design expertise, unlock development opportunities, and create their own projects.

We are delighted to welcome May Fisher from LivedIn, who will share actionable insights across several key areas:

Site Viability & Planning: Evaluating site potential, using Permission in Principle (PiP) to de-risk proposals, and securing planning outside settlement boundaries via the Right to Build Act.

Overcoming Delivery Barriers: Navigating procedural vs. judgement-based planning hurdles and structuring multiplot self-build schemes with flexible design codes.

Financial Models & Collaboration: Exploring how LivedIn collaborates with architects, managing risk via deferred payments at point of sale, and delivering affordable self-build options.
