In Episode 32 Lynn Morstead and Kelli Soika talk the importance of professionals in a cohousing development project.

They cover:

• What do we mean by professionals?
  • Organizing help: Cohousing consultant / Developer 
  • Physical Architecture: Architects / Landscape designer
  • Social Architecture: Marketing / Process strategy / Meeting facilitation
• What are these professionals important?
  • Saves time, money, mistakes
• How do you find them and hire them?
  • Cohousing.org conferences & website
  • 500 Communities
  • Local Architect and Developer helps with local contacts
  • Other communities
• Tips for engaging and managing professional relationships.
  • Clear roles & responsibilities
  • Standing meetings and documentation standards
  • Clear processes for managing interface with the community

Don't forget that consultants are with you for a short period and then they are gone…. The community relationships need to be in place. They get there by working together, not working with a consultant.
