Forming a consortium and building a team
Forming a consortium can be an effective way to deliver the objectives of a retrofit project. By collaborating with partners and pooling resources, you can potentially benefit from economies of scale and more diverse skills and opinions, compared to developing projects as a single organisation. This toolkit provides considerations for forming a consortium and presents and explains the different options available to help you decide whether the consortium route might be suitable for your retrofit project.

Forming a consortium and building a team
Assembling the right team is a key part of developing a retrofit project proposal. Forming a consortium is one of the critical tasks that must be started early on in developing the proposal. It takes time and effort and can be slower than you expect. Retrofit projects are large and complex involving many different specialist skills. Once you have a consortium, the next task is putting together a core team that can deliver a successful application and then deliver the project.
