SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Managed the development and transition to operational phase of over twenty-five housing projects, as well as office buildings, retail, and subdivisions. Undertaken commissioned research for private, community, and government clients.

In working with community-based clients, a complex role is filled, which varies with the objectives and style of each organisation. In most cases the role includes a long-term educational and organizational process, bringing a group to the stage at which it can make informed decisions, as well as implementing the project sponsor's decisions.

For most projects, comprehensive services were provided, working with the sponsor from initial organisation, through determination of project objectives, market research, land acquisition, interviewing and hiring of other project consultants, dealing with planning matters, design and financial programming, acquisition of funding, negotiation with various government bodies, advancing of funding, through to setting up ongoing operations. For some projects an ongoing involvement has continued, as projects evolve to meet new market conditions and other managerial challenges.
