View projects

Development management co-ordinates the activities of multiple stakeholders and manages various legislative constraints to maximise the ultimate value of a development. We help our clients identify the most commercially advantageous products for the market and then work with them to establish the viability of a scheme as early as possible during the planning process.

From the initial assessment of acquisition opportunities, right through to the management of a completed asset our independent advice considers the different implications that planning, design, procurement and construction factors will have on the progression and success of a development.

Through a series of robust development appraisals and management reviews, our development managers work with the project manager to increase cost certainty, analyse the benefits of value versus cost, help to secure funding and highlight areas of potential risk. The development managers advise on the impact of: development agreements/HoTs/NDAs; banks and lenders; asset and fund managers; leasing team liaison; market research; land owners/site acquisition; public relations; legal interfaces; statutory authorities; taxation; operations and facilities management; sustainability and CSR; health and safety issues.
