Shakra Group
Property Development
We can make it happen.
Development Consulting
The property development process requires extensive planning with attention to detail. To ensure a smooth process, the development project must be managed correctly in order to minimise potential risks and maximise profit. By selecting a competent project manager and utilising expert consultants, you can save money and minimise unwanted issues from arising throughout your property development process. For any one project, Shakra Group have the ability to coordinate specialised consultants including landscape architects, town planners, civil and hydraulics engineers and architects/building designers.
Below is a brief outline of the property development process
PROJECT VISION
Before taking part in any project, you need to have a project vision. This can be as simple as to grow your property portfolio, or to purchase investment properties at a discounted price. We can work with you to enhance your vision and make it a reality.

FINDING A SITE
From finding the right site to finding the right location, is one of the most important stages of the property development process. The site location, as well as the council zoning, will determine the type and number of dwellings that can be constructed on the site.
02 / 12
DUE DILIGENCE
An extensive study of the site is conducted in order to minimize risk. The study can include researching sales data, soil type testing, and/or determining whether the property is subjected to flooding. With thorough due diligence, it is more likely that no unfavorable issues will arise further down the track.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN & FEASIBILITY STUDY
Our consultant’s include a design team and town planners that are experts in their field and, most importantly, they can determine the viability of the project in the early stages of the property development process. Schematic drawings including floor plans and elevations can be made available to determine different design options. With this information, the preliminary feasibility study is prepared for consideration.
