Consulting Development Services
I am handed down tochildren, through
generations, as a thing
of greatest worth.
Most property developers initiate and manage their development processes themselves. However, in some instances, an owner of land wants to self-develop but lacks either the experience or time resource to do so.
A Development Manager needs to be well versed in the following fields: law, valuations, town planning, taxation, quantity surveying, accounting, estate agency, architectural design, marketing and financial structuring.
To our knowledge Acumen Properties is the only provider of such services on a consultancy basis to
