Initial Concept Design and Financial Analysis
At the inception of a project you need someone to have a feel for where you are headed, helping you sense check ideas and look at the financial implications of design choices and technical information.

Delivering a master plan which creates a centre of excellence for water and environmental research and innovation
It pays to test your initial ideas - and run the numbers - to check they add up to a profitable project that meets your objectives, before you invest time and resources.
Working out the purpose of the site quickly and simply, and how it’s going to work for you, without incurring huge costs, is an invaluable first step to take.
The time for detailed appraisal comes later. At the beginning you simply need to get to those answers quickly, before you home in on that opportunity.
Our concept design will respond to your initial brief and by running a financial appraisal using our deep, local market knowledge to assess how well it stacks up financially, we can analyse potential cash flow and the likely overall value of your development.
Having agreed the broad parameters and viability of your development proposal, you can progress to the detailed design stage with the confidence that you are on the right financial path
Service options
Strategic planning advice
Securing planning permission locks value into your development, but it’s early strategic and creative planning advice that creates it.
Land assembly
It pays to be bold when assessing whether acquiring more land or partnering with your neighbours might deliver something bigger - and perhaps more valuable - than if you went it alone.
Opportunity analysis
By focusing on maximising the opportunity, we will help you look beyond the site’s constraints and see what might be possible.
Scoping financials and other priorities
Understanding what you want from a development project is the starting point. It’s different for everyone but only once your objectives are clear can we shape your strategy around them.
Joint venture and partnering
We pair ambitious developers with long-term UK and global investors, setting up innovative joint venture arrangements that build in flexibility and work for everyone from start to finish.
Shortlisting and selection process
Your site has development potential, but you need a partner to help unlock its full value. Choosing the right one is not always a matter of simply picking the highest bidder.
Project commencement and performance monitoring
Agreeing the right deal up front is important but good performance monitoring ensures project objectives are hit. You need sustained focus from a well-oiled team delivering from day one.
