Leading Property Development Consultants*

A property development consultant helps you make informed decisions throughout your development, from property development feasibility and strategy through planning, consultant coordination, builder selection, construction and completion.

Little Fish combines expert advice with practical development experience, helping you understand the numbers, risks and opportunities before making costly decisions.

Experienced property development consultants can help you avoid costly mistakes, make better decisions and access established builder and consultant relationships that most one-off developers simply don’t have.

Little Fish can also take this further through our project management service, managing your development on your behalf from the early stages through to completion.

Little Fish offers property development due diligence and feasibility, a buyer’s agent service to help you find the right development site, comprehensive end-to-end project management and one-on-one mentoring for developers who want to manage the project themselves with expert support behind them.

The right option depends on where you are in the development process, your experience and how involved you want to be.

A good property development consultant can identify costly issues early, negotiate better outcomes and help prevent mistakes, variations and poor decisions.

Little Fish also brings established builder, consultant and supplier relationships, giving our clients access to wholesale pricing, stronger buying power and priority treatment that one-off developers simply cannot access on their own.

Yes. That’s exactly what our project management service is designed to do. Little Fish can manage your development from the early stages through to construction and handover.

We coordinate the consultants, town planning, design, builder pricing and selection, approvals and construction process, helping protect your budget, timeline and overall project outcome.

Little Fish provides end-to-end property development project management across Victoria, including Melbourne, with the exact service area depending on the project and location.

For developers Australia-wide, we also offer our ReadyBuild™ range of ready-to-build knockdown rebuild and dual occupancy and duplex designs built by Simonds Homes, one-on-one property development mentoring, industry-leading property development courses and our free online Property Developer Network.

If you’re unsure which option suits your project, book a call with our team and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Yes. If you want to manage your own development rather than engage Little Fish for full project management, our one-on-one mentoring gives you direct support throughout the process.

You can draw on our development experience, systems, builder and consultant relationships and wholesale buying power while remaining hands-on with your own project.

Ideally, before you commit significant money to a site, design, consultant team or builder.

Engaging Little Fish early gives you the opportunity to test the numbers, planning requirements, development strategy and risks before expensive decisions are locked in. We can also step into projects that are already underway.

Yes. Little Fish can coordinate the development application and town planning process as part of your broader development.

Depending on the project, this can involve managing town planners, designers, architects, engineers, surveyors and other consultants required to progress your application and approvals.

A builder’s primary responsibility is constructing the project. A property development consultant looks at the development more broadly, helping you make informed decisions around feasibility, strategy, planning, design, builder selection, costs, timelines and risk.

Little Fish works for you, not the builder. We know what projects should cost and how long they should take, and because we provide builders and consultants with continuity of work, our clients benefit from stronger relationships, priority treatment and wholesale pricing that one-off developers simply can’t access.

We can also manage the entire development on your behalf through our end-to-end project management service.

The cost depends on the type and complexity of your development and the level of support you need. Little Fish offers due diligence and feasibility, one-on-one mentoring, and comprehensive end-to-end project management.

Our goal is to create more value than our fee through better decisions, pricing leverage, established builder relationships and avoiding costly mistakes.

Look for proven development experience, transparent fees, strong builder and consultant relationships, and someone who understands the entire development process rather than just one stage of it.

The right property development consultant should understand what projects should cost, how long they should take, where the risks are, and how to protect your budget and overall project outcome.
