Community Cluster
A small village, reconstruction cluster or first-stage development. Start with the housing mix and only add the education, health, community and utility systems the brief actually requires.
Use this scaleRHELGAN · Complete Communities
Plan housing, social infrastructure and essential services as one coordinated programme.
Five planning scales give project teams a practical place to start. They are not fixed bills of materials: every school, clinic, WASH, water, wastewater and power requirement is sized from the actual population, site and service brief before procurement.
Five programme scales
Start with the number of homes. Build everything else from the brief.
Village
A repeatable housing programme with stronger shared-service planning around education, health, community facilities and utilities.
Use this scaleCommunity Development
A community-scale programme where masterplanning, phased utilities, logistics and multi-building coordination become central to the supply brief.
Use this scaleLarge Community
A larger staged development requiring expanded social infrastructure, utility resilience and controlled multi-supplier procurement.
Use this scaleMajor Settlement Programme
Programme-scale housing and infrastructure with formal phasing, masterplanning, procurement controls, logistics and operational handover.
Use this scaleConcept planning visuals
See how the programme changes as scale increases.
The diagrams deliberately show zones and relationships rather than engineered layouts. They help a project team discuss housing clusters, a community core, utilities, roads, open space and future expansion before a site-specific masterplan is commissioned.

What gets sized
Critical infrastructure is calculated, not guessed.
People, not just homes
Household size, accessibility, age profile and programme users determine the facilities required.
Education
Classrooms and supporting spaces are sized from the actual education brief and local requirements — not a generic homes-to-classrooms ratio.
Health
Clinic scope follows the intended service model, staffing, utilities and medical requirements.
Water
Source water, daily demand, storage autonomy, treatment quality and site conditions drive the water pathway.
Wastewater
Population, flows, discharge or reuse requirements and operating capability determine the treatment process.
Power
Actual loads, critical services, autonomy and grid conditions drive solar, battery and generator requirements.
Climate & hazards
Wind, cyclone, seismic, rainfall, heat, corrosion and flood exposure are project inputs, not assumptions.
Logistics & installation
Port access, containerisation, lifting, site storage, local labour and construction sequencing are planned before commercial freeze.
RHELGAN project pathway
From a community need to an auditable supply programme.
RHELGAN is a commercial project-supply pathway. Local law, humanitarian standards, professional engineering, donor requirements, public-health requirements and statutory approvals remain project-specific responsibilities unless expressly included in a written scope.
Define the community
Country, site, homes, users, programme objectives, timing and procurement route.
Choose standard systems first
Map the brief against proven housing and building systems before creating custom designs.
Size infrastructure from real inputs
Water, wastewater, power, education and health are calculated from project data and supplier engineering.
Close interfaces
Assign foundations, utilities, logistics, installation, commissioning, approvals and operational responsibility.
Build the commercial programme
Package the approved systems into phased procurement, manufacturing, freight and handover schedules.
Start with what you know
You do not need a finished specification to start the brief.
Send the country, approximate programme scale, required building types, site conditions and known utility information. RHELGAN can use that to structure the next technical questions.
