The Value of Community Engagement in Development
Community engagement helps developers build trust and gain valuable insights from local residents. It:
-
Encourages early feedback to shape projects that reflect community needs and priorities.
-
Builds positive relationships with residents, councils, and stakeholders, reducing resistance and delays.
-
Informs design decisions through real input, leading to more liveable and context-sensitive outcomes.
-
Demonstrates transparency and accountability, strengthening the project's public perception.
-
Identifies potential concerns early, helping to resolve issues before they impact approvals or timelines.
Experience Our Interactive Feedback Tool - Local Loop
In-house digital engagement platform Local Loop empowers community members to provide real-time feedback on a wide range of visual content, including 3D models, images, 360° visuals, diagrams, maps, aerial shots and more. The platform's interactive tools make complex visuals easy to engage with, encouraging broad community input and ensuring designs are understandable and open to informed feedback.
Experience Our 360° Interactive Model Tool - Your Next Home
This 360° model gives everyone a transparent view of the proposal, helping you see how buildings, open spaces and streets connect.
Take a closer look at how the proposed development fits within its surroundings.
Use the arrow buttons at the bottom to rotate the model — press once for automatic rotation or press and hold to explore a specific angle.
Zoom in and out using the buttons at the bottom right, or switch to full screen at the top left for a more immersive view.
No Need for Expensive Websites and Complex Training
We offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional digital methods and platforms, eliminating the need for costly web templates, lengthy setups and complex data management. Its scalable design suits projects of any size, providing clear returns on investment while staying within budget.
Simplify Feedback Handling with Integrated Data Analytics Tools
It simplifies the management of large volumes of feedback through a centralised admin interface. It allows you to easily organise and sort comments by demographics, including age, sex, nationality and more. Both positive and negative feedback can be quickly accessed, analysed and understood. With seamless integration into your existing project management tools, reporting becomes more efficient, giving you clear insights to drive informed decisions.
Keep Communities Involved Every Step of the Way
The more we explored community engagement, the clearer the communication gap became. Various stakeholders—engagement consultants, architects, developers, planners and so on — mean well, but without the right tools, meaningful communication with communities is often missing. Our process bridges face-to-face engagement with
cutting-edge technology, shaping the future of collaboration.
Stand Out to Planning Authorities as Progressive and Inclusive
Doing community engagement the right way allows you to showcase to government planning authorities that you've gone the extra mile in collecting diverse data and genuinely considering community needs. This proactive approach not only accelerates the approval process but also fosters trust with planning authorities and strengthens community support.

Arthur Stefenbergs
Every successful development begins with trust — and that starts with the community. Engaging early with local residents, councils and stakeholders helps identify opportunities, reduce risk and create lasting value for everyone involved.
​
Too often, developers face resistance not because of the project itself, but because the community feels unheard. That’s where Local Loop, our digital engagement tool, comes in — turning consultation into collaboration.

Led by Arthur Stefenbergs, the Community Engagement package helps you build stronger relationships and gain clearer insights before design or approval stages progress.
