Every engagement has a scope, a duration and a written deliverable. No open-ended retainers on unclear questions.
Development Strategy
Real Estate
For landowners and investors, before anything is committed: what the land can carry, what the market absorbs, what the numbers must be.
Land and site assessment
Business & financial analysis
Market positioning
Feasibility and phasing
A written go or no-go
Southeast Asia Execution
Project Management
For European investors and developers in the region. We set up the holding structure with local lawyers and notaries, then act as your owner’s representative on the ground.
Ownership structuring with local counsel
Owner representation
Partner due diligence
Permitting coordination
Programme and site control
Masterplan Direction
Urban Design
For developers who hold the land. We are not architects: we are the owner’s judgement on the design, and hold the plan to what is liveable and sellable.

Retained advisory
Monthly · owner’s representation
Owner’s representative through design, permits and delivery. Continuous, because that is where projects are lost.
How we are paid
Fees. Fixed for a defined scope, monthly for a retained mandate.
Success-based interest. On projects we carry to delivery, part of our compensation can be tied to the outcome we answer for.
We do not sell property, broker deals or take a fee from the other side. Any interest of ours that could bear on our advice is set out in writing before you commit.
Every engagement ends in written documents: the market, the numbers, the plans, the contracts read clause by clause, and a plain recommendation.

For wealth managers & asset managers
Your client wants to buy in Asia. You would rather they did it properly.
Clients increasingly ask their advisors about Southeast Asian property, often already half-decided. Saying no costs the relationship. Saying yes without ground truth costs more.
White-label diligence
Site, title and market work, delivered under your cover, in French or English. Your relationship, our fieldwork.
A second opinion, quickly
A two-week Opportunity Review on the parcel your client has found, before they sign.
Structuring coordination
Holding vehicle, local counsel, notary: your European tax and succession work rests on a structure that holds locally.
Ongoing representation
Owner’s representation through build and delivery, with written reporting you can pass on.
We do not manage money, advise on allocation or hold client relationships. We are the on-the-ground layer beneath your recommendation, and happy to stay invisible in it.

IndonesiaActive
Delivered in Bali and Lombok; Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores and Sulawesi followed. Leases, title chains, what a foreign buyer actually acquires.
PhilippinesActive
Coastal and periurban residential: land classification, access, building at a distance from Manila.
ThailandActive
Coastal and island resorts: foreign ownership limits, leaseholds, a growing market versus one already bought.
