Development management

Gleeds’ expertise helps turn property-related objectives and challenges into solutions that add value to land, property, and infrastructure assets.

We work with clients to create vision, scope and brief that are viable and deliverable through our collaborative management service tailored to client needs.

From site assembly through town planning, design, construction, and disposal our experience and client focus enable solutions that maximise returns through deliverable projects. We help to bring our clients' property goals to life.

Our experience allows us to focus on issues that drive viability and our understanding of how to address constraints and challenges in a time-pressured environment means we are well placed to deliver.

Our team of expert development managers are focused on clients’ delivery with the drive and ambition to achieve the best possible returns and outcomes from every project.

By establishing clear goals, outcomes, and deliverables at the start, we work with our clients to create a detailed development management strategy that encompasses all anticipated activities.

We then model delivery through team procurement, concept, property agreements, town planning, detailed design, construction procurement and works through a roadmap that guides clients, teams, and stakeholders through this complex process on major projects.

We understand the importance of knowledge and how a project evolves through iterative design that is informed by constraints, underpinned by evidence, and challenged through real value creation.

By working through robust project stages that address all aspects of the project we enable concepts, schemes and solutions that are effective yet innovative, informed and deliverable.
