Why every project needs a Development Manager and how they bolster your DA.

We often get asked – “Why is the Development Application process so frustrating and difficult?” And our answer is always – “It doesn’t have to be!”

Development applications can be rewarding and relatively quick if you know how to navigate your way through the process.

Sure, you can get an Architect or a Town Planner to manage it for you – but we always recommend that a Development Manager is the best way to secure your approvals.

Your Architect and Town Planner are critical, however an architect is focused on design and a Town Planner on compliance. Development Managers look at all facets of the project, all disciplines and their combined importance to a project.

We take a considered and integrated approach to a project, starting at stakeholder engagement all the way through to liveability, buildability and saleability, which ultimately impacts our client’s feasibility and bottom line.

We know how the decisions made early in the design and planning process can have huge repercussions during delivery, and we know where the development risks lie and how to mitigate those risks before they happen.

We often equate working without a DM to trying to complete a puzzle without seeing the final design. It’s like operating without the big picture.

Development managers bring the road map, the strategy and the bigger picture.

By investing in a DM, you are investing in the security and success of a project.
