Three models.
Two verticals.
Three ways to contract a project. The build standard is the same in all three.
Developer model
We take a project from land through statutory approvals, construction, sales and final handover, managing the whole cycle under one roof. The land can be one we buy or one you bring in as a joint venture, on agreed shares of the completed project.
There is one party accountable from the initial investment to completion, held to the same standard we work to as a contractor.
- Commercial basis: our own capital, on land we buy or in joint venture with the landowner, through to completed sales
- We carry approvals, construction, marketing and sales; on a joint venture the land comes from the owner and the proceeds are shared
- Best suited to our own residential and mixed-use schemes, and to landowners seeking a development partner
Barter construction
Where capital is tight, we take an agreed share of project inventory in place of part of the construction cost, and the project moves forward without additional project finance. We fund the build and take the return in assets.
The structure is negotiated individually for each engagement. We have built on barter terms across residential towers, villas and commercial schemes, and the development stays yours throughout.
- Commercial basis: an agreed share of built inventory in place of part of the construction cost
- We fund the build and take the return in assets
- Best suited to developers holding land and approvals, with finance constrained
- Applicable to stalled, pre-launch and ongoing developments alike
Non-Barter construction
Where funding is already in place, we build to a conventional contract on agreed payment and milestone terms. The development stays yours and we carry the construction.
The job is priced off drawings and measured site conditions before anything is committed, and statutory approvals are tracked against the date each one is needed on site, whether they are ours to obtain or yours.
- Commercial basis: milestone-linked payments against a defined scope, priced fixed or cost-plus
- The client carries cost; we carry scope, programme and quality
- Best suited to funded developers and corporate clients wanting one accountable contractor
- Single point of accountability from first estimate to final handover
Every job, the same sequence.
The five stages run the same way whichever model the project sits under.
Estimate.
The job is priced off drawings and measured site conditions before anything is committed.
Approvals.
Statutory approvals are tracked against the date each one is needed on site, whether they are ours to obtain or the client’s.
Procurement.
Materials and vendors are contracted against the programme rather than after it has slipped.
Construction.
Labour, materials and subcontractors are called forward against the programme, week by week, and the build is measured back against the estimate.
Handover.
Snagging lists, drawings and documentation are closed out before the project is signed off.
Send the brief.
We will tell you.
A short note about the site, the timeline, and the rough scope is enough.
