Development Management

Our Development Management service keeps your project commercially aligned and moving forward – without getting bogged down in red tape, stalled consultants, or scope drift. We combine feasibility modelling and early-stage risk analysis with hands-on coordination across design, approvals, and procurement. Our role is to keep momentum high, decisions clear, and risks visible – stepping in where internal capacity is stretched, additional resources is needed, or where specialised input is needed.

During delivery, we remain actively involved to ensure continuity between design intent and construction outcomes. We work closely with the builder and consultant team to keep cost and programme under control, resolve emerging issues, and support smooth close-out and handover. 


Whether it’s full-cycle oversight or targeted support during critical phases, we help protect your position and drive your project through to completion.

Our Development Management Services

Development Management, Developers

1. Full-Cycle Management

Strategic control from acquisition to settlement.


We provide continuous, senior-level direction that keeps commercial objectives, cost, programme, quality, and risk aligned right through the development lifecycle.


Services include:

  • Phase-by-phase direction of planning, procurement, construction, and settlement activities
  • Live executive dashboards and lender-ready reports tracking budget, timeline, and risk exposure
  • Proactive identification and removal of roadblocks to protect margin and momentum
  • Stakeholder management and governance rhythms that keep boards, financiers, and JV partners fully informed
  • Final account, retention, and security release coordination to close projects cleanly


Ideal for developers who need end-to-end accountability without adding permanent senior headcount.

Development Advisory, Design, Planning, Early-Phase

2. Early-Stage Advisory

Fast, high-confidence “go / no-go” intelligence.


We deliver rapid feasibility and risk insight before you commit capital, allowing swift pursuit - or exit - of opportunities.


Services include:

  • Site-constraint and infrastructure assessments, including zoning, overlays, access, and services
  • Density and yield scenarios benchmarked against local planning provisions
  • Investor-grade feasibility models with margin, IRR, and sensitivity testing
  • Concise risk snapshots covering planning, cost, market, and delivery considerations
  • Board- and lender-ready acquisition briefs with clear recommendation paths


Design, Planning, Construction

3. Design & Development Approvals

Securing workable approvals without increasing unnecessary cost or complexity.


We coordinate consultants and manage authorities to turn concepts into high quality, buildable designs.


Services include:

  • Consultant briefing, scope definition, and deliverable tracking against cost and compliance targets
  • Iterative buildability, value-engineering, and cost-risk reviews to eliminate late-stage redesign
  • Stakeholder and community engagement strategies to de-risk objections
  • Preparation, lodgement, and negotiation of DA / planning submissions, plus RFI management
  • Management of conditions precedent to ensure approvals translate cleanly to construction


Financial, Advisory, Feasibility, Report

4. Funding & Procurement Management

Commercial structures that lock in price, scope, and timeline.


We package your project for funding, run disciplined market engagement, and negotiate contracts that protect margin.


Services include:

  • Lender-ready business cases, detailed cost plans, and comprehensive risk registers
  • Procurement strategies aligned to funding milestones and cash-flow requirements
  • Competitive EOI / tender processes with apples-to-apples comparison matrices
  • Commercial and legal negotiations to secure balanced, enforceable contracts
  • Ongoing draw-down and covenant reporting to maintain financier confidence


Handover, Keys, Completion

5. Critical-Phase Resourcing

Senior fire-power exactly when the pressure peaks


We step in during the most demanding stages to stabilise programme, budget, and quality without permanent hires.


Services include:

  • Independent tender evaluation and contract-award support during compressed procurement windows
  • Programme-recovery planning and oversight when delays threaten settlement or funding covenants
  • On-site progress, variation, and quality audits to regain commercial control
  • Purchaser hand-over coordination and large-scale defect close-out campaigns
  • Final account negotiation and close-out to speed retention and security release


Engagement Model

Our services are structured as fixed-scope engagements, tied to specific project phases. We can be engaged for a single task — such as preparing a tender pack or conducting a one-off inspection — or for a clearly defined support role over a specific project stage (e.g. construction phase QA + claims monitoring).


Why Clients Engage Arbour:


  • Short-term, flexible support without long-term contracts
  • On-the-ground presence backed by efficient reporting and documentation
  • Deep experience in residential development and construction delivery
  • Clear deliverables with professional formatting and fast turnaround

Typical Projects We Support

  • Residential apartment developments —  DA to delivery
  • Medium-density townhouse projects — attached and detached dwellings
  • High-end custom homes — requiring independent quality assurance and builder oversight (for developer and home owner)
