Watch: Development Manager Brisbane
When undertaking a project, a typical Town Planning consultant will often focus on getting your Council approval. While the approval is one of the main checkpoints to a successful development, many first-time developers do not understand how to progress once the approval is received. The post-approvals process can often be complex.
If your project requires further works or compliance, these need to be run consecutively where possible to ensure the timely delivery of your project. This is where building project managers come in.
