Built in the Open
The Model: How the Money Works
Big visions die when the numbers hide. So here are ours, end to end: the land, the buildings, the district, and the city's upkeep, every figure a published planning estimate, every build stage independently verified.
Step 1: Control the canvas
Real cities need real land. We benchmarked ours two ways, against existing cities, and bottom-up from every feature the plan contains, and both methods landed on the same number: ~25,000 hectares (250 km²), the size of a purpose-built capital's core. Unlike existing capitals, ours keeps a farm estate and a living forest inside.
Why the land comes first
Raw frontier land costs little per square metre. It is master-planning, titling and servicing it (roads, power, water) that turns it into land a city can stand on, and the plan relies on that serviced land to help pay for the stages that follow. That is why the plan's first job is always the same: secure the land first. Later phases are planned to be funded from serviced land, anchor tenants and home sales, without debt. These are planning assumptions for how the city gets built, not a promise of land value or of any return.
Step 2: Build homes at ~half market price
One shared residence: 10 storeys, 50 spacious flats, gym, crèche, shops below, solar + battery for 24/7 power, two lifts, complete and move-in ready for ≈ £1.5M all-in, every line item published. Each of the fifty flats carries its own title.
| Why it costs ~half of market | The saving |
|---|---|
| Land at cost, secured at frontier prices | not at speculator prices |
| No speculative developer margin: homes are priced at cost plus one fixed fee | a flat, published 5% coordination fee, shown in every price |
| Afrisovera Builders workforce: our own trained, certified labour | the training ground IS the building site |
| Own materials: blocks, panels, joinery from the city's yards | the Manufacturing pillar at work |
| Bulk procurement: lifts, solar, sanitaryware for 20 blocks at once | never one at a time |
| No marketing costs: the community is the sales channel | you're reading it |
The protection: the anti-"burnt by a trusted person" machine
Every building moves forward only per verified construction stage, foundation → frame → envelope → services → finishes → handover, each signed off by an independent quantity surveyor, with photos published, and every owner receives individual title on completion. No verified milestone, no next stage.
Step 3: One district, planned as a whole
Step 4: A city that maintains itself forever
Cities don't fail on opening day; they fail twenty years later, when nobody budgeted for the roads. Ours is endowed at birth: a city management company funded by tiered service charges nobody is priced out of, commercial rents, and published-tariff city utilities, with a sinking fund for major renewals built into the budget from day one.
| Per 1,000-home district, per year | Income | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Service charges (from ~£3/mo workforce to £150+/mo showcase) | £214k | |
| Shops, market & commercial rents + anchor service charges | £150k | |
| City-owned utilities margin (solar power, water, fibre at published tariffs) | £160k | |
| Roads, drainage, waste, security, parks, sewage, staff | £335k | |
| Sinking fund: resurfacing & plant renewal, banked every year | £160k | |
| Total | £524k | £495k |
The surplus plus a 1% resale transfer fee feeds the Infrastructure Renewal Fund, and the maintenance crews are Afrisovera Builders graduates. The pipeline that builds the city staffs its entire life. No donor. No decay.
