Crown build
Crown build projects are new-build construction projects or refurbishment projects that are funded directly by the government through the government's capital expenditure budget. The completed development remains in public ownership.
This is as opposed to other schemes for funding public developments that involve partnership with the private sector, such as the private finance initiative (PFI) or private developer schemes (PDS).
