Design and development services It is vital that the development’s design delivers efficient, easy to use operations and that it is aligned with future maintenance and service charge costs, customer commitments and the management framework. Our direct experience of managing a portfolio of thousands of residential and mixed-use properties gives us profound insight into the liveability and efficiency of a design. We commonly start with a review of the design with a Design for Management report, working closely with your project stakeholders and client representatives. Typically commencing our services at RIBA Stage 2/3, we thoroughly consider the front and back of house areas from the perspective of the building management team, residents and commercial occupiers, as well as any estate, public realm and shared spaces. We understand how and when to communicate Design for Management requirements, so these can be captured at the correct stage of the design or construction project.
Once the Design for Management review is complete we can develop a wide range of management, service and operating strategies. Our structured approach is tailored to each unique development and contains clear deliverables used to measure progress. We work collaboratively with your team and use trusted, specialist consultants as required to achieve the desired outcomes. This can include advice on planning, section 106 obligations and estate regulations. We can also review leases and work with your appointed solicitors to provide advice on legal management issues including landlord and tenant advice. Through our development advisory services, we take a long-term view of optimising developments which includes factoring in the phasing of services and estate planning for the lifetime of the development. This will ensure your ongoing asset management will be successful, all of which leaves you to focus on buildability, whilst we concentrate on usability and liveability.
