Community Engagement — Assam

Before a project is drawn up, the team spends time in the community it is meant to serve. In Assam that meant meeting residents, local partners and the site teams who would build and maintain the development, and listening to what an affordable home actually needs to be.

Those conversations change the brief: unit sizes, the layout of shared spaces, where shops and schools sit, and how the development stays maintained long after handover. It is also how MAMS meets the local contractors, suppliers and staff who work on every later phase.

Community engagement is not an event for the group — it is part of the delivery model, and the reason the same teams return to a market to build the next phase.
