ABOUT TRAVAUX

INDEPENDENT ADVICE FOR BETTER HOUSING DELIVERY.

Travaux is an independent housing delivery and development advisory practice.

We work across the intersection of development, delivery and industrialised construction, helping clients understand complex problems, test options and make better decisions.

Our work is grounded in whole-of-delivery thinking: understanding how finance, feasibility, design, procurement, approvals, construction and Modern Methods of Construction interact rather than treating them as separate problems.

Why Travaux?

Travaux takes its name from the French travaux préparatoires: the planning and preparatory work that makes construction possible.

The idea still sits at the heart of the business, but our focus is broader than pre-construction. Housing delivery depends on a chain of interconnected decisions, and problems often emerge where those decisions, responsibilities and systems fail to align.

Travaux exists to see those connections, identify what is getting in the way and help develop a practical path forward.

EVERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT IS BUILT TWICE: FIRST THROUGH THE DECISIONS THAT SHAPE IT, AND THEN ON SITE.

HOW WE THINK

INDEPENDENT

We are not tied to a builder, manufacturer, lender, product or construction method. Our advice is based on what is right for the project and the outcome.

WHOLE-OF-DELIVERY

We look across the system rather than solving one stage in isolation.

EVIDENCE-LED

We test assumptions against project evidence, industry knowledge, data and research.

PRACTICAL

Good strategy has to work in the real development and construction environment.

REBECCA LLOYD-JONES

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIST ⌂ HOUSING DELIVERY & MMC ADOPTION & INTEGRATION

Rebecca Lloyd-Jones is the founder of Travaux and the Housing Delivery Lab.

Her work focuses on housing delivery: understanding the decisions, constraints and interfaces that determine whether projects move successfully from concept to completion.

With a background spanning property development, feasibility, planning, construction, design and project delivery, Rebecca brings a whole-of-system perspective to complex housing problems.

She has a particular focus on Modern Methods of Construction and industrialised construction, examining not simply whether MMC can build faster, but how it integrates with development feasibility, finance, design, procurement, approvals, certification, contracting, logistics and site delivery.

Her approach is deliberately independent. The objective is not to promote a particular construction method, but to understand where different delivery approaches can genuinely improve housing outcomes and what needs to change for them to work.

Rebecca founded the Housing Delivery Lab to investigate a broader question:

What is stopping housing delivery, and how can we fix it?

The Lab brings together project evidence, industry experience, data and research to examine housing delivery as an interconnected system and develop practical responses to the constraints preventing better outcomes.
