Our Process

How BTS delivers a project

Every BTS project, from a home to a program to a building, follows the same standard project plan. It keeps community in charge, Elders at the table, and delivery accountable.

Yarn first

Every project starts with community. We listen before we plan: with the families affected, with Elders, and with the people who will do the work.

Community · Elders Council

Scope & feasibility

We define what the project is, what it costs, what Country needs, and who we need beside us. Cultural feasibility holds the same weight as financial feasibility.

CEO · Operational team

Approval

The Board approves the plan; the Elders Council approves the cultural approach. Nothing proceeds without both.

Board · Elders Council

Funding & partners

We secure funding and formalise partnerships across government, philanthropic and commercial sectors, on terms that keep BTS in control of delivery.

CEO · Board

Deliver on Country

Local workforce first: traineeships and paid roles for our own people wherever the work allows, each with a Cultural Mentor from day one.

Pillar teams

Handover, care & review

The project is handed to the people who will live with it. We review what worked, record what we learned, and fold it back into the next project.
