Why Property Developers Need to Work with a Development Planner

If you are a new property developer, you may or may not know the importance of working with a development planner. Do you ever wonder how various towns and cities around the world are so organized and everything just seems to fit so perfectly? Well, that is because they are all developed with the help of town planners. You cannot just put up a building without considering how it fits into the area’s overall plan. If this is how things worked, we would have issues of congestion, inadequate plumbing and transportation, and general disorganization in many places. This is why you need to work with a town planner.

1.   Make necessary applications

You need to get licenses and permits from the local authorities before you can begin your project. A town planner will know exactly what documents you need and can do all the applications, and handle all the paperwork on your behalf. This way, you can be sure you will not end up on the wrong side of the law because, for instance, you did not get certain documentation that you needed for the project.

2.   Offer advice on various aspects of your project

A development planner can advise you on the best use of your property if you already have one. They understand the general outlay of the town or city in which your property is located, and can advise on how to develop it so that you get maximum returns from it. They can also do a project appraisal, enabling you to see all the costs involved in various projects and whether they are worthwhile. Most importantly, they will ensure that whatever you choose to do with your property is legal. If you do not already own a property, they can advise you on the best properties to invest in; the ones that are most strategically located. You might not know how to pick the best properties because you do not have such a good understanding of the town. However, a development planner can help point you in the right direction.

3.   Project management

A development planning company can manage the whole project on your behalf, ensuring that everything is done in good time, the construction schedule is followed to the letter, and no delays are experienced because of shortage of construction material. Having a development planner on site will also ensure that there is no wastage of materials. They will advise on the best and most cost-effective materials to use for the project, so that you can save on material costs and the overall cost of the project.

4.   Property reports

If you are selling your property, your development planner can provide you with a detailed report on your property so that potential buyers know exactly what you have to offer. This will make it easy for you to sell your property at the best price.
