Development Value for Money

The purpose of the Development Value for Money (DVfM) service is to provide landlords with a detailed analysis of cost, time and quality indicators, at project level, which is benchmarked across the Scottish social housing sector.

 

 

 

A key element for SHN is the identification of best practice, trends and challenges faced by the sector, and to bring landlords together in practice exchange.

This service allows developing landlords to meet the Scottish Government condition of funding that requires them to participate in a value for money exercise.  The service is available to all SHN members as part of their membership subscription, non-members can participate for an annual fee.

The materials, including the new DVFM Tool and revised Guidance are now available and are accessible on our resources and publications page.

Completed data returns should be submitted to data@scotlandshousingnetwork.org.
