Advisory

Three mandates, and a defined way of working.

Every engagement has a scope, a duration and a written deliverable. We do not hold 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 will absorb, and what the numbers have to look like for the project to stand up.

  • 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 or developers with a future project in the region. We act as your owner's representative on the ground, and we are accountable for the programme, the schedule and the relationships.

  • Owner representation
  • Partner due diligence
  • Permitting coordination
  • Programme control
  • Site monitoring

Masterplan Direction

Urban Design

For developers who have the land and need the scheme to be right. We are not architects. We are the owner's judgement on the design, and we hold the plan to the standard that makes it liveable and sellable.

  • Design brief and programme
  • Masterplan arbitration
  • Density and layout
  • Public realm structure
  • Long-term value

Engagements

How we work.

2 weeks · fixed fee
Opportunity Review. One site, one question: is this worth pursuing? A written recommendation with the reasoning behind it, including the case against. Most clients start here.
6 to 10 weeks
Development Strategy. The full upstream study — capacity, product definition, market, phasing, financial structure. The document you take to your board, your bank or your partner.
Monthly
Retained Advisory. Owner's representative through design, permitting and delivery. Continuous rather than episodic, because that is where projects are actually lost.

How we are paid

Fees. Advisory work is billed as a fee: fixed for a defined scope, monthly for a retained mandate.

Success-based interest. On projects we carry through to delivery, part of our compensation can be tied to the outcome we are accountable for. We are paid when it works.

We do not sell property, broker transactions, or take a fee from the other side of a deal we have advised you on. Where any interest of ours could bear on the advice we give you, it is set out in writing before you commit to anything.

Where we work

Three markets we work in, four we watch.

France
Active. Residential land development. Seven years taking projects from acquisition to delivery in a regulatory environment that forgives nothing. This is where the method comes from.
Indonesia
Active. Bali, the southern peninsula and Lombok. Lease structures, title chains, and the gap between what a foreign buyer is shown and what he is actually acquiring.
Philippines
Active. Coastal and periurban residential. Land classification, access, and the practical reality of building at distance from Manila.
Malaysia · Thailand
Vietnam · Laos
On research. We follow these markets and will study a specific opportunity in them. We will not pretend to know them the way we know the three above.
Dubai, UAE
Available. We take mandates in the Emirates and travel for them. We have not delivered a project there and will say so before you ask — what we bring is the method and the owner-side discipline, not a local track record.
