Design- led development approach

One-to-one development training for small and medium-sized property developers.

A Design-Led Development approach, based on my own experience developing property.

I will help you learn to make better development decisions, invest where it matters and make more of your property's potential. Drawing on my many decades of design-led development experience, I offer one-to-one training. In each training session, we incorporate your own development project, so you experience the benefits live.

Benefits of The Approach

A COMPLETE VISION

We look at all the property decisions as a whole (including budget, intended market, space, professional team and trades), rather than as separate decisions.

LEARNING BY DOING

I teach in a way that isn't abstract. We take your live project and use it as our source of material to ensure that you gain the maximum benefit.]

A SIMPLIFIED PROCESS

I show you how to plan in a streamlined way to ensure that decisions are made in the right order and to eliminate expensive mistakes.

MARKET STRATEGY

Consider who the property is for and how that should influence all the decisions you make throughout the development.

DESIGN DIRECTION

Materials, finishes, colour, and the property's overall direction as part of the development, that need to be considered from the outset

BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER

I'll train you to have the eye to see how the different decisions connect, what to prioritise and how to move the development forward as a whole.

Your project. Your decisions. A Design-Led Development approach.

PROPERTY ANALYSIS

Understand what you're working with, its strengths, limitations and where the opportunities may be.

CLEVER BUDGET

We look at where the money needs to go, where it can make the most difference, and where you can avoid unnecessary spending.

MANAGING PROFESSIONALS

I help you to understand who you may need for the project, from surveyors to builders and trades. You'll learn when their input matters and how to coordinate and plan.

MAXIMISE SPACE POTENTIAL

We examine how the property works, how the space is being used and where changes could improve the development. This is key to maximising the potential of your property.

Why Work With Me

AN EXPERIENCE DEVELOPER’S PERSPECTIVE

I've developed my own properties, from houses and apartments to conversions, over the course of several decades. I understand first-hand the decisions, costs and practicalities involved in taking a development forward.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BACKGROUND

My background as an architectural designer brings another perspective to property development. I look at space, layout and the decisions that shape how a property works, while considering development costs, value and potential returns

A HANDS-ON APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT

By working with your own live development project, you gain all the benefits of a consultant alongside those of a trainer.
