Four Stage Process

INTEGER has developed and applied a four-stage process for achieving innovation. Firstly, research into the future performance demands of housing and an analysis of innovative solutions that are available to meet these demands. Secondly, the demonstration of what can be achieved by integrating these solutions into a well designed, well constructed home. This demonstration is accompanied by an extensive programme of communications and consultation, aimed at winning the hearts and minds of the housing industry and the acceptance and support of customers. Thirdly, the roll-out of these innovative ideas in a series of pilot projects around the country, accompanied once more by extensive communications and consultation. And finally, active support to the widespread adoption and implementation of the INTEGER principles in major mainstream housing developments.

The extensive involvement of householders, tenants and the wider community is fundamental to INTEGER’s strategy for successful innovation. This is exemplified by the INTEGER Education Programme, through which children of all ages are engaging with INTEGER housing schemes, across a wide range of subjects including design and technology, ICT, environment, science and citizenship.
