SRODI is a toolkit that we developed to measure the social impact of projects in the built environment. The toolkit is based on Social Return on Investment methodology and applies a financial value to the often intangible outcomes of a project.

For instance, we could calculate how much money is saved in health care by fixing plumbing and bathroom hardware. Or we could pinpoint by percentage how much happier people are because they were involved in their house design.

SRODI can be used in two ways: as a forecasting tool to help you decide where best to spend your money or as an evaluation tool when the project is underway or complete.

Above all, it will help you understand the impact of your investment on the communities you serve and help you make a case for further funding.
