Understanding the Development Process

Knowing what to expect makes every decision easier. While each project is unique, most follow a similar sequence.

The key stages

• Discovery and advisory — goals, budget, timeframe and opportunity.
• Land and feasibility — what the site can support and what it may cost.
• Design and engineering — architecture developed alongside structural and services design.
• Planning and approvals — documentation and the approvals needed to build.
• Construction — managed with clear programmes, quality control and reporting.
• Handover and beyond — completion, aftercare and long-term support.
