How they do it
Bristol Together uses the following 3 approaches (business models) to property development.
Partnership
Partnership with Bristol local authority whereby Bristol City Council (BCC) loans the property to Bristol Together at no cost. Bristol Together (BT)pays for the development. On sale, income covers costs and then the profit is split equally between BCC and BT.
Property
Property bought by BT, developed and then sold. On sale, BT receives 100% of profit.
Land
Land is bought by BT, houses are built from scratch. On sale, BT receives 100% of profit.
Social impact
Bristol Togethers clients gain skills and professional qualifications which set them up for a great future in the construction industry.
A third of their workforce have worked towards Qualifications such as NVQs whilst working with BT.
Half of their workforce are multi-skilled, giving them more options in their future in the construction industry.
