ABOUT
Our development consulting services can be standalone or complementary to a client’s existing project management structure and consultant team.
As primary consultants for land development projects, we actively engage in close collaboration with a wide range of professionals and service providers within the land development sector. Our partnerships extend to legal practitioners specialising in planning, property, and development issues, valuers, real estate agents, Owners Corporation managers, research/marketing, and advertising consultants.
Furthermore, we also work with a range of specialist consultants, such as urban designers, landscape architects, traffic engineers, environmental experts, flora and fauna specialists, as well as heritage and archaeological consultants. This comprehensive collaboration ensures a holistic and well-rounded approach throughout the entire land development process.
