COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS

RESHAPING YOUR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT POST-C19

Designed for owners or tenants of commercial properties, our Commercial Solutions service provides strategic guidance to those wanting to repurpose or redevelop their land or buildings in response to Covid-19.

The more you know upfront, the more likely your project will succeed.

Bringing 40 years of quantity surveying and project management experience to the table, we begin with a workshop to establish the optimal scale of your proposed development.

We guide key decision-makers through budget development, financing, consenting, timeframes, development staging and the identification of project risks and critical success factors.

You will leave with a solid understanding of your spatial opportunities, a high-level program and cost plan, and clarity on next steps.

Give your commercial development project the best chance of success with strategic support from the outset.
