What is Progressive Development?

Progressive development is a type of procurement that is utilized in the early stages of the project development process where the public sector is able to work collaboratively with the private sector during design and development to ensure the project's scope, design, and capital costs are optimized.

Our team has utilized the progressive development model to successfully deliver some of the most complex social infrastructure projects to public sector entities.
