Land Development Project Management


Who can help manage the land development process?

As well as project managing through to getting resource consents we offer a service managing construction of the project. But this can also be separately arranged by you. We often discuss this with clients at the very start of a project, but a decision can aslo be left until when the resource cosent is issued and you are ready to start the development. An important point to keep in mind is that contractors often need a lot of notice – so don’t leave things too late!

Is it worth having a project manager involved?

Even a small project will require project management – we will usually provide this service on your behalf.

Should I get a external Project Manager or use the Lead consultant?

As well as providing most of the services that you will need we will usually undertake the project management for you as well – we do this on small and large projects. For very large and complex developments involving major inputs other than ours, separate project management may be a good idea – but even then we find that this is generally carried out by our larger clients themselves.

Can I project manage the development myself?

Possibly, but it will depend on the scale of the project and your experience in land development matters. To save money for you a mix of project management responsibilities is a possibility. For instance, we can handle the more complex technical matters and you can handle liaison between consultants, service providers and council. We like to think though that our experience and contacts best enable us to drive a project through to completion quickly and efficiently.
