How We Can Help

We have experience in:

  • Mixed-use developments
  • Drive-thru and drive-to units
  • Commercial developments for local and regional developers

We take an active role in project management, attending project management meetings to help steer both the employer’s agent and the developer on legal issues as they arise promptly and effectively. Our team can also assist local housebuilders with:

  • Securing land opportunities via promotion and option agreements
  • Developing construction contracts
  • Disposing of units constructed through our dedicated plot sales team

For owner-occupiers taking new-build premises from developers, we offer practical advice on turnkey projects. We ensure that the warranty package is complete and that the developer is held accountable throughout the build and sign off.
