Leading Property Development Project Managers*

A property development project manager coordinates the key stages of a development, from the initial feasibility study and consultant appointments through to town planning, builder coordination, construction and handover.

Little Fish helps manage the moving parts, protect your interests and keep your project moving through a clearer process from start to finish.

Property development project management is the process of managing the people, decisions, costs and timelines involved in delivering a development project.

That can include feasibility, design input, consultant coordination, town planning, builder selection, builder pricing and contract review, construction oversight and handover support. The goal is to reduce risk, improve control, protect your budget and drive a stronger overall project outcome.

Little Fish project management covers the key stages of your development, including feasibility, consultant coordination, town planning, design, builder pricing and contract review, builder selection, construction management and handover.

You also benefit from our proven systems, established builder and consultant relationships, priority treatment and wholesale buying power, helping you get your project done faster and cheaper, including our fee, while avoiding costly mistakes.

The exact scope depends on your site, project type and where you are in the development process.

No. ReadyBuild™ projects can proceed directly with Simonds Homes without engaging Little Fish for full project management.

If you’d prefer Little Fish to manage the development on your behalf, you can engage us for end-to-end project management covering consultant coordination, town planning, design coordination, builder liaison, construction management and handover.

If you want to manage the development yourself, Little Fish also offers one-on-one property development mentoring, property development courses and our free online Property Developer Network.

A builder’s job is to build. Little Fish’s job is to manage the development process and protect your interests from start to finish.

As experienced property development consultants and project managers, we manage the strategy, numbers, planning and approvals, consultant coordination, builder pricing and contract review, builder selection, construction management and handover, so you’re not relying on the builder to guide every major decision.

Little Fish manages residential property development projects including townhouse developments, dual occupancy projects, multi-unit developments, custom homes, knockdown rebuilds and duplex designs.

We can manage the key stages from feasibility and design through approvals, builder coordination, construction management and handover. For suitable dual occupancy projects, our ReadyBuild™ Dual range may also be an option.

Ideally, engage a property development project manager before you commit significant money to a site, design, consultant team or builder. Getting Little Fish involved early helps you understand the numbers, risks, planning requirements and project potential before costly decisions are locked in.

If you’re still assessing a site, Little Fish can also help through our Due Diligence service, or you can use our property development feasibility calculator to test the numbers before moving into full project management.

Yes. Little Fish also offers a buyer’s agent service for clients who want help finding a suitable development site.

We assess potential sites through a development lens, considering feasibility, planning, yield, buildability, demand and likely project outcome before you buy.

Yes. Little Fish manages the town planning and permit process as part of our overall property development project management service.

That can include coordinating town planners, designers, engineers, surveyors and other consultants required to move the project through the approval stages.

Yes. We work closely with builders and manage introductions, pricing, inclusions, timelines, communication and accountability throughout the project.

Because we provide builders with consistent work, our clients benefit from stronger relationships, priority treatment, wholesale pricing and better access to contractors and suppliers than one-off developers can access on their own.

Yes. We review builder pricing, inclusions and exclusions before you commit, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for and where potential gaps may exist.

The goal is to lock in greater pricing clarity upfront, reduce costly surprises and minimise the risk of variations later in the build.

Our project management fee is designed to pay for itself through pricing leverage, better coordination, wholesale buying power and by avoiding costly mistakes.

Because we provide consistent work to builders, consultants and contractors, our clients benefit from priority treatment, stronger relationships and pricing that one-off developers simply cannot access, helping get the project done faster and cheaper, including our fee.

Going directly to a builder can work, but it can also leave you exposed if the scope, pricing, inclusions, timeline or overall process are not clear.

Little Fish manages the development on your behalf, helping protect your budget, timeline and overall project outcome while ensuring you’re not relying on the builder to guide every major decision.
