At this early stage of the project lifecycle, clients engage us to provide budgets, schedules, constructability advice and business feasibility studies. We work with town planning and property consultants to compile accurate information about the investment before our clients commit to construction.

On your behalf, we work with the relevant governing bodies to determine the legislative requirements of the building, the site and the surrounding area against urban planning zones and planning schemes. We liaise with city planning departments to establish the pathway for your planning permit, drawing on extensive knowledge, experience and available resources to bring the application through to council or development approval.

Our research team and property experts analyse existing services in the area, the legal aspects of the proposed works, the permits required and current regulations.

• We conduct demographic modelling and surveys, using business intelligence tools to prepare clear reports and decision-making resources for our clients.
• We help our clients identify population trends and patterns.
• Our researchers assess market competitors and current market conditions.

We compile the scope of works for the project and each individual package, along with timelines, Gantt charts and tender documents. Documentation prepared for town planning may include:

• Relevant planning property reports
• Planning fee schedules
• A full planning guide, including town planning requirements
• Town planning drawings and reports, including traffic engineering and heritage reports

Our town planning consultants can also manage the permit application process on your behalf.

Through our network of financial planning partners, brokers and major lenders, we assist you in securing project finance.
