Generating Accurate Development Appraisals in Seconds Not Weeks with Henry Mayell of Viability

In this episode, Paul is joined by Henry Mayell, one of his business partners. Henry is the co-founder and COO of Viability, a software platform that enables homebuilders to quickly and accurately assess the viability of a potential development opportunity.  They discuss how Viability software enables developers to look at any site and quickly work out what type of homes, if any, can be profitably built on it. It can also be used to educate planners and legislators so they can quickly see how each of the additional things they ask for impacts the viability of the development. Henry also explains how Viability will help developers meet the new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) targets. KEY TAKEAWAYS Viability provides a step-by-step process and software to enable developers to very quickly produce an accurate development appraisal for any site. Once the relevant parameters have been fed in, the report takes seconds to generate. Viability software can also be a good education tool. It enables policymakers, planners and developers to quickly assess the cost impact of any proposed regulation changes. The software easily demonstrates to planners the impact each change they want has on costs and whether it is still viable to build on that site. Viability uses real-world market data, so planners are not left suspecting that the developer is trying to pull the wool over their eyes. Viability helps developers identify the right Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) for each project. What materials you use should be an integral part of the design process. Provided you choose the right type of MMC for each site and deploy it properly, MMC is not more expensive.  Viability also provides early stage BNG assessments, allowing developers to understand if the biodiversity in a specific site makes it unviable. BEST MOMENTS “Viability gives you an automated development appraisal … in seconds, rather than in days or weeks.” “Ultimately, to deliver the homes, we need developers to find viable development opportunities.” “It's actually about  which MMC solution is suitable for your site and allows you to maximize its potential.” “When planners try to demand everything, all that happens is things become unviable, and they don't get anything at all.” ABOUT THE GUEST https://viability.site The Times article - https://www.thetimes.com/business-mon... https://geovation.uk ABOUT THE HOST  Paul Higgs is a Chartered Planning and Development Surveyor with 40+ years' experience in land, planning and development and a 100% success track record in winning planning consents.
