Advisor's note
This is developer-led by design - a subcontractor or builder cannot apply solo; if your client is downstream, the play is getting them into a developer's alliance. Funding covers the cost premium of doing it the new way, not the whole project cost. Page verified updated 3 Jul 2026.
Planning a digitalisation or overseas-expansion project? Those usually run under EDG or MRA, which our team delivers end to end.
