Development Management is about more than programmes and reports. It is about understanding your objectives, managing risk and creating value at every stage.
We work closely with developers, landowners, institutions, investors and private clients as an embedded extension of their team. We take the time to understand your culture, motivations and objectives, then shape a realistic route map that carries your project from inception to delivery.
Understand your site’s true potential
Before you commit significant time or money, we test your site or early proposals through detailed feasibility work covering development potential/capacity, planning, cost, programme, viability and risk. You get candid advice on what is achievable, and a plan to manage risk from the outset rather than react to it later.
Site disposal and handover
If you are selling, we support the disposal process, preparing technical and due diligence packs for bidders and overseeing a smooth handover to agents, buyers or construction and delivery teams.
A route map built around your objectives
We help shape your business and investment case, work with your financial and viability models, and set a project programme that we then drive forward to keep delivery on track.
Trust and collaboration
Major projects depend on trust. We engage directly with your internal and external stakeholders to build the collaboration that keeps decisions moving. We routinely develop the trust of Board level stakeholders.
The right team for your project
We select and appoint architects, masterplanners, technical consultants and specialist advisers to suit your programme, complexity and budget, because one-size-fits-all rarely serves a project well. We then manage and motivate that team so it performs as one.
Control and clarity throughout
Our risk management, budget reporting and governance frameworks give you the information to make confident decisions. Regular reviews of programme, budget and risk mean challenges surface early, there are no surprises, and we keep our commitments.
Leading the design process
We lead design development from concept onwards, making sure the scheme meets commercial, planning and market requirements and is ready to go forward for planning consent.
Complementary planning expertise
Our Development Management service is complemented by our own Planning consultancy. Where a project calls for it, we can draw on specialist planning advice keeping planning strategy and delivery closely aligned.
