Funding & Improvement Projects

Big ideas shouldn’t be shut down by “there’s no budget.”At ResidentFirst Block Management, we don’t just handle day-to-day maintenance — we help explore ways to fund improvements that enhance your block and its surroundings.

Whether you’re considering:

• Repainting stairwells and corridors

• Improving landscaping or communal planting

• Creating marked play areas for children

• Introducing small community upgrades and improvements

• 
  

We can help you look at realistic options to move these ideas forward.

How We Can Help

Review What’s Allowed: We check your lease and service charge rules to ensure projects stay compliant and fair for all residents.

Plan Achievable Projects: We outline the work required, provide estimated costs, and create phased plans so improvements feel manageable and realistic.

Explore External Funding Options: Where appropriate, we can guide you toward potential grants, community funding, sponsorships, or partnership opportunities for things like play spaces, landscaping, or community areas.

Support with Applications: We can help prepare supporting information, including wording, costings, photos, and building details, for funding proposals submitted by resident groups, boards, or RTMs.

Encourage Community Participation: Where residents are willing to help, we focus on projects that combine volunteer effort with funded materials to reduce overall costs and build community pride.

A Clear and Honest Approach

While funding cannot be guaranteed, we will:

• Provide straightforward advice

• Focus on realistic planning

• Avoid hidden costs or vague promises

• Help maximise the value of every pound spent

  
  

If your block has improvement ideas but no clear way to pay for them, we are ready to assist in exploring practical solutions.
