Development Management

End-to-end oversight of your property development — from site assembly through to final delivery. We manage every aspect so you can focus on the bigger picture.

We work with developers, investors, and landowners to turn vision into viable, deliverable projects — maximising returns at every stage of the development lifecycle.

Our Approach

Every development is unique, which is why we follow a structured, stage-based methodology aligned with industry best practice. We begin each project by establishing clear goals, outcomes, and deliverables with our clients, then create a tailored development management strategy that guides the project from inception through to close-out.

Our team of experienced development managers brings the drive and ambition to achieve the best possible returns and outcomes from every project. We take ownership of financial viability, consultant coordination, and stakeholder management throughout the development lifecycle — drawing on our deep understanding of the South African property market and international best practice.

The Development Lifecycle

01

Inception & Project Brief

Establishing the project brief including scope, design, quality, cost, and time objectives. We assess viability, identify funding requirements, appoint the necessary consultants, and set clear priorities and constraints from the outset.

02

Concept & Viability

Developing the project concept in accordance with the brief — defining scope, scale, character, and form. We prepare the financial viability model, establish procurement policy, manage funding requirements, and coordinate marketing and end-user strategies.

03

Design Development

Coordinating multi-disciplinary design teams to finalise the design, outline specifications, and cost plan. We manage statutory approvals, review sustainable design compliance, monitor cash flow, and ensure all documentation aligns with the approved brief and budget.

04

Documentation & Procurement

Preparing construction and procurement documentation, managing the tender process, and facilitating contract awards. We procure project insurances, review adjudication of tenders, and ensure appropriate risk allocation across all contractual appointments.

05

Construction

Active management during the build phase — attending site meetings, reviewing scope, time, and cost variations, processing progress payments, and monitoring quality standards. We coordinate end-user installations and ensure timeous project delivery.

06

Close-out & Handover

Managing practical completion, distributing as-built documentation, warranties, and compliance certificates. We monitor defect rectification during the defects liability period, settle final accounts, and assist with procuring facilities management resources.

From financial viability and funding management through to defects rectification and facilities handover — we manage the full development lifecycle so our clients can focus on returns.
