Development management: service scope.
What each stage covers, the decisions that stay with you, and what sits outside the service.
Four stages, one point of contact.

- 01Feasibility and site review
What planning controls may allow, what it could cost and what it could be worth.
You decide: whether to proceed - 02Design and approvals
Architect, surveyor and engineers engaged; the application taken through council.
You decide: the design to submit - 03Builder tender and contract
Licensed builders tendered, offers compared, contract reviewed with you.
You decide: the builder and contract - 04Construction to handover
Site visits, progress-claim review, defects follow-up and handover coordination, with written reports.
You decide: acceptance at handover
All of it, or just the part you need.
Feasibility through to handover, managed for you.
For example, approvals only, or construction oversight only.
A feasibility review or second opinion on a site.

You own the land and the result, and make the key decisions at the stages set out in the agreement. Each engagement covers only the stages agreed.
Common questions
Development management
Do I need to own land already?
No. If you own land, we start with a feasibility review. If you are still looking, we can assess a site before you buy it.
What size of project?
From two-home sites and simple land divisions to multi-home and larger land projects. We will tell you early if a project is outside what we do.
How much does it cost?
We give you a written fee proposal after the first consultation and feasibility review, based on the scope and complexity of your project.
Who builds the homes?
A licensed South Australian builder, under a contract with you. We run the tender, review the contract and oversee the work on your behalf.
How is this different from a joint venture?
You keep ownership and the result of the project, and you pay us a fee. In a joint venture, the result is shared as the agreement sets out.
