澳大利亚前新南威尔士州建筑专员David Chandler近期提出一项政策建议，旨在通过政府批准的标准化设计方案利用规模经济，建造价格低于100万澳元的廉价公寓[1]。Chandler声称该模式可将建筑成本至少降低20%[1]，计划在三年内交付4000套新住宅[1]。
这一名为MM3的项目拟采用五到七年的运营周期[1]。Chandler已表示，若新南威尔士州政府采纳该计划，愿意领导项目实施[1]。他在阐述提议背景时指出："这场危机非常严重，你不能再对其视而不见。是时候提出一些具有挑战性的想法了"[1]。Chandler于2019年被任命为首任建筑专员，两年后的2024年辞职[1]。
Former New South Wales Building Commissioner David Chandler has put forward a policy proposal aimed at tackling Australia's severe housing shortage through standardized, government-approved designs that would leverage economies of scale to reduce construction costs [1]. The initiative seeks to deliver new apartments priced below AU$1 million, a significant reduction from typical developer pricing of around AU$1.2 million with standard profit margins of approximately 20% [1].
Chandler claims his model could cut building costs by at least 20% and proposes delivering 4,000 new residences within three years under a project framework termed MM3, with an overall operational timeline of five to seven years [1]. He has indicated willingness to lead the project's implementation should the New South Wales government adopt the plan [1]. "This crisis is extremely serious, and you cannot ignore it anymore. It is time to put forward some challenging ideas," Chandler stated [1].
Chandler was appointed as the inaugural Building Commissioner in 2019 and resigned two years later before proposing this initiative as part of his continued advocacy for solutions to the nation's housing crisis [1].
