Project Direction & Advice

By far the most important aspect of the Development Life Cycle System is to understand your vision and requirements. Once we have a clear picture of what you want to achieve, we can then provide advice on the best options available to you, and how to best go about it in the most cost and time-effective way.

Site Investigation & Acquisition

This is a critical stage in any development project. We will ensure the site is compatible with your requirements, such as correct zoning permissions, and all due diligence is met, before a feasibility study is undertaken. Thoroughness in this is essential. Done right, it can ensure cost-savings throughout the rest of the development process.

We source and acquire the right site by conducting the following steps:

1. Feasibility study – an essential part of the due diligence process.
2. Commercial assessment – encompassing information such demographic statistics, market prices and the sale prices of neighbouring properties.
3. Business case – we analyse the pros and cons and provide our recommendation about a proposed project.
4. Acquisition service – we undertake market and price research and engage a trusted broad network of professionals.
5. Funding assistance – we plan and structure all debt solutions which include feasibilities, cash flow models and profit & loss charts.

Financial Debt Structure

Robert Marcs works with a diverse pool of senior debt funders, including banks, institutional lenders, non-banks and private investors. This has been one of the most important relationship building exercises implemented into the businesses core offerings, in order to maintain a profitable project each and every time for our clients.

Construction Delivery

This is one of the most exciting moments in the process. During this phase, your development project will finally become tangible. While you may not be doing any of the actual construction work yourself, you will gain great satisfaction and understanding seeing your hard work come to fruition. What’s involved on each and every delivery:

1. Manage the D&C Contract between the client including coordinating QS reviews of Variations & Progress Claims, RFI Management, Quality Documentation Submissions and the like.
2. Procure project and plan programme and let out trades with director of building entity.
3. Review contractors construction issue design documentation and attendance at any design meetings.
4. An average of 2 to 3 site inspections per week during construction – depending on the status of programme.
5. Implement a project management framework which will set the tone and how the project will be delivered. We will develop all the required forms, checklists, registers, certificate and procedures to effectively manage the project – a framework the consultants, contractor and the wider project team will utilise.
6. Use Procore and systems to keep everything up to date.
7. Develop and manage the project issues and risk resgister.
8. Coordinate and attend value engineering meetings with the contractor and consultants.
9. Attend and minute all PCG Meetings

1. Contract preparation for sales
2. Sales materials – including brochures, billboards, fliers, etc.
3. Display unit preparation
4. Sales team management
