Development advisory FAQs
Common questions from owners, investors, and occupiers planning commercial development projects.
When should we engage a development advisor?
Ideally at site selection or concept stage—early advice improves feasibility accuracy and reduces downstream redesign and approval risk.
Do you act as project manager?
We provide independent commercial advisory and governance support. Where required, we can work alongside your project manager and consultants to strengthen decision-making and reporting.
Can you help with mixed-use feasibility?
Yes. We assess demand, leasing assumptions, staging, and capital structure to test mixed-use scenarios and risk-adjusted returns.
How do you support procurement decisions?
We advise on delivery model selection, tender strategy, and commercial terms—focused on risk allocation and program certainty.
Do you advise occupiers on fit-out projects?
Yes. We support occupiers with brief development, budget validation, procurement guidance, and oversight to protect outcomes and minimize disruption.
