Stage 1 · Site visit
Seen in person, with its constraints.
What we do, in detail
Four services spanning development and the management of completed property.
Program 01 · Honest numbers first
Site appraisal & acquisition
An appraisal is only useful if it's pessimistic enough to survive contact with a planning officer and a contractor's tender. We assess use, constraints and likely planning position, build costs with contingency that reflects the building's age, and say when a site doesn't work.
Stage 2 · Planning position
Policy, precedent and realistic prospects.
Stage 3 · Appraisal
Costs, values and sensitivities.
Stage 4 · Recommendation
Including when the answer is no.
Stage 1 · Team
Professionals appointed on clear scopes.
Stage 2 · Approvals
Planning and building control pursued properly.
Stage 3 · Construction
Contractor managed, programme and budget tracked.
Stage 4 · Completion
Handover with warranties and documentation.
Program 02 · From drawings to completion
Development management
We appoint and coordinate the professional team — architect, engineer, surveyor, solicitor — hold the programme and budget, and manage the contractor through to completion. Statutory approvals and CDM duties are handled at the right point rather than retrofitted.
Program 03 · On a fee or contract basis
Property management
Management on a fee basis for owners who don't want to run a property themselves: letting it, collecting rent, handling repairs and keeping safety compliance current. Client money is held in a client account and we are a member of a government-approved redress scheme.
Stage 1 · Scope
What we handle and what stays with you.
Stage 2 · Letting
Marketed, referenced and documented.
Stage 3 · Management
Rent, repairs and compliance.
Stage 4 · Reporting
Statements and updates on a schedule.
Stage 1 · Format
What you want to see and how often.
Stage 2 · Collection
Costs and progress recorded as they happen.
Stage 3 · Report
Issued on a fixed date.
Stage 4 · Decisions
Flagged early, with options.
Program 04 · Know where it stands
Owner reporting
Owners who hear nothing assume the worst. Reporting covers spend against budget, programme against plan, income and arrears, and the decisions that need an owner's instruction — on a fixed schedule rather than when something has already gone wrong.
