Property Development Consulting Done Better, Smarter, Greener and Faster

Property Development Consultancy has Changed

When property development was in its infancy in Australia some 35 years ago, all a landowner needed was a project manager and a few specialist consultants for a project to be successfully completed.

Now, while the objective is still the same, the property development journey is significantly far more complex and specialised.

This leads to greater levels of uncertainty within property development…and there is still little direct client-side expertise to support landowners at a strategic level.

Valuing our clients

Given the extended timelines that large projects can require, the professionals leading your project need to understand not only what you want to achieve, but also what’s required to get there.

And with some major developments taking years (and many millions of dollars) you want to be sure they are resourceful and forward-thinking, have the right leadership and operational skill set, and have the right temperament and experience to complete the project. And ensure it aligns with the shared vision and remains within the defined financial parameters.

Our development management expertise helps you to envision and evaluate complex development plans. Whether the lifetime of the project is 2, 5 or even 10 years, you can be assured we will be there – end to end – to guide you as you create:

We’ve worked on:

portfolio developments with values over $1.5 billion
cutting-edge civil and infrastructure projects including estate developments of 5,000 lots
award-winning, large-scale, integrated, medium-density housing projects
future-proofed and award-winning retirement village developments
brownfield and greenfield master planned sites.

Financial success aside, we gain the most satisfaction from pulling together great development teams, guiding them to create new industry benchmarks, and being able to drive past former developments to see they still look good and have operational efficiencies decades after they were built.

Our commitment to you is to be a property development consultancy that: 

  • provides client-side advice, management and delivery skills to professional and part-time property developers and landowners 
  • draws on our 35 years’ experience to guide developers who don’t have the ‘in-house’ resources or capabilities to manage larger projects
  • creates future-proofed, sustainable, greener and socially conscious developments that lead the way in industry-best outcomes.

What Our Clients Say

“Phil brought more structure and rigour to our processes and improved the efficiency of our developments.

There’s no area of the development lifecycle that Phil doesn’t know about. He has an amazing breadth of knowledge and his can-do attitude gives him this great ability to distil a problem down to the core issue and get on with addressing it.

He’s pragmatic and outcomes-focused which is what you need to keep projects moving.”

 

Belinda Taylor
Development Manager, Kirkbrae Presbyterian Homes

“I’ve worked with Phil on a number of projects because he’s reliable, highly competent and innovative. I’d recommend Phil when you need a well-rounded Development Director who can identify and solve problems while uncovering more opportunities for profitable and sustainable outcomes.

Phil is very practical and logical in his approach. He’s good at understanding the problem instead of jumping to conclusions for a solution. His calm and rational approach makes him a highly valuable asset on complex projects.
”

 

Gregory Anderson
CEO, Places Victoria

“Phil has been a great support for our business, particularly around feasibility work.

He has a strong history in townhouse development and Phil’s an expert at planning ahead to ensure the remediation solution puts the land in a state that simplifies townhouse construction later.

He’s quite an autonomous operator. Give him the brief, he gets it, and he can run with it.
My confidence in Phil’s skillset means I can focus on my core role while Phil leads our consultant teams. He understands contamination, geotechnical solutions, and civil construction – which is quite a unique package of expertise – and he makes the audit process simple and easy for all to follow the auditor’s statement and get it right.

I recommend working with Phil because he understands the client’s role. And he can do it for you. He can simplify your life and achieve an outcome.
