Development Facilitation

Every development project begins with understanding the site and establishing what may realistically be achieved.

We review available site information, planning controls, site constraints and other relevant considerations to establish the key parameters of the project.

We meet with you to understand your goals, requirements and priorities and combine this with site inspections and market benchmarking to establish clear project objectives.

Where required, we facilitate the selection and appointment of key consultants, including surveyors, architects and other specialist consultants.

We also coordinate early consultant input and high-level concept design to test the feasibility of the preferred approach before significant resources are committed.

An initial project program is then established, with the project progressing once the preferred strategy and plans have been agreed.

Once the preferred strategy has been established, we coordinate the progression of the design and planning process towards a complete approval submission.

This involves facilitating the appointment and input of the broader consultancy team and coordinating the required reports, drawings and supporting documentation.

We work with the relevant consultants to ensure their inputs are properly coordinated and integrated into the overall submission.

Our objective is to maintain a clear direction throughout the application process while ensuring the project remains aligned with the agreed brief, planning requirements and underlying commercial objectives.

Following approval, we continue to coordinate the consultancy team and manage the activities required to progress the project towards construction.

This includes coordinating the preparation of detailed construction documentation, consolidating specialist consultant inputs and assembling a comprehensive construction package.

Where appropriate, we also assist with the development of the Principal's Project Requirements and preparation of tender documentation, including project scope, specifications and contractual requirements.

Throughout this phase, we coordinate the process through to the issue of the necessary certificates and construction-ready documentation, ensuring the project is properly prepared for delivery.

The selection of the builder can have a significant impact on the success of a project.

We help identify suitable builders and coordinate the tender process from commencement through to final assessment.

This includes issuing tender documentation, managing questions and clarifications from prospective builders, reviewing submissions and providing a clear comparison of the tenders received.

Where required, shortlisted builders can be engaged in further discussions to clarify scope, pricing and proposed methodology before a preferred contractor is identified.

We then assist in coordinating the final steps required to appoint the builder and progress the project towards construction.

The final selection and engagement of the builder, and any required trade contractors, remain the responsibility of the homeowner or property owner.
