Question 1

What is development advisory?

Accepted Answer

Development advisory provides strategic guidance and hands-on support throughout the development process. We help structure deals, build budgets, align design with financial targets, and manage execution risk — ensuring projects are set up for success before ground is broken.

Question 2

When should I bring in a development advisor?

Accepted Answer

The earlier the better. Ideally during acquisition underwriting or initial feasibility analysis. Early engagement allows us to influence the project scope, budget, and structure in ways that reduce risk and improve returns. We also step into active projects that need additional support or course correction.

Question 3

Do you replace the general contractor or architect?

Accepted Answer

No. We work alongside the project team, providing oversight and strategic alignment. We help select the right GC and architect, level bids, and ensure the project team is executing in alignment with the business plan.
