Accelerating Subdivision Construction: Process Analysis for Municipalities

The Problem

Addressing the housing shortage is a priority for many municipalities. To help identify and reduce process bottlenecks in subdivision construction, Dimensional Strategies Inc. (DSI) was engaged to perform an end-to-end analysis of the entire development process, from initial plans to project completion.

The Solution

Several key players are involved in the timely completion of housing projects, including municipal permitting bodies, developers, and third-party consultants. The DSI team integrated all relevant process data to track the execution and responsibility of each step, from project inception to the final handover of keys. These curated data serve as a foundation for benchmarking and identifying the root causes of delays.

The analysis enables municipalities to create more efficient processes and recommend legislative changes to address obstacles in housing provision.
