Investments & Developments

Our development and investments advice brings together our wide-ranging expertise, to help you from inception right through to operational delivery. From the start of the process we can help you with financial modelling and sourcing funding, land acquisitions and planning applications, to managing the build. 

We start by understanding your objectives and the business case for the reconfiguration of your existing estate or new facilities, which support any funding applications and the statutory approvals process.  

We can also manage the development on your behalf through the procurement and construction phases, using your capital funds or released asset value as contribution, or we can support you in sourcing investment finance. Using the latest technology, we ensure cost accuracy, design deliverability and put everything in place for your building’s long-term sustainability. 

We’re also experts in creating joint ventures that transform the way local health, social care and education facilities are provided and managed, working in long-term partnerships. 

FINANCIAL & ECONOMIC MODELLING

Whether it’s a simple financial appraisal, or investment strategy planning, we can scale our financial modelling to match the scale and complexity of your project. We can create a range of bespoke financial modelling tools, which can feed into feasibility studies and business cases. 

For larger developments, we can also look beyond capital costs to forecast operational, facilities management and lifecycle spends. 

DEVELOPMENT & ADVICE MANAGEMENT

We’ve got extensive experience of advising and managing the full development process, from your initial idea to running your development as an operational asset.

Our in-house team will lead the process, managing all the critical development such as land, planning, finance, legal, design, construction and stakeholder management. 

We can lead on projects of varied sectors and scopes, with our experience including health, education, and major mixed-use regeneration schemes. 

CAPITAL PRIORITISATION

As part of estates strategies for complex organisations, we can help you prioritise where you should be spending your capital – looking at factors such as demand, affordability and long term forecasting. We can also assist you with capital programme management.

LAND ACQUISITION

We can help you identify the land you need, assess its suitability for your project and lead you through the process of securing it. This can involve anything from maximising the use of your current land, to creating large new development sites.

We’re experienced in leading masterplan developments and assembling complex sites from multiple land owners. We can also manage disposals and contracts, making the whole process seamless for you. 

SECURING FUNDING

We’re experts at sourcing funding options for major and minor projects, especially around the complex world of NHS and public sector capital and grant funding. We can demystify the process around applying for funding, giving you clear, simple advice so you can decide which funding option is best for your project.  

We’re also highly experienced in the world of 3PD (third party developments) and external private funding, and we work with several partners on joint ownership models and formal joint ventures. 

PARTNERSHIPS

Partnerships are one of our specialisms, especially around primary care developments. We were one of the first formal joint ventures in the country to partner with a GP practice to build a new surgery in a deprived area. We bought the land, built the surgery, and managed the whole project from end-to-end, leaving the practice free to concentrate on their patients.  

We work with individual GP practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs), taking time to understand their particular requirements before providing bespoke support to transform their surgery into affordable, bespoke, CQC-compliant facilities specifically designed by our clinical experts.
