Property Development Management, Done Differently.

EVERETT is a Queensland-based property development management consultancy working with developers, investors and landowners.

We’re a small, hands-on business. You deal directly with the people involved in your project, not layers of management or a rotating team of consultants.

We bring practical development experience, commercial thinking and a straightforward approach to getting projects moving. Having managed our own developments, we understand the decisions, challenges and risks that come with property development.

Whether you need someone to manage the entire process or provide support at a particular stage, we tailor our involvement to suit your project.

A hands-on approach to property development.

EVERETT is a small, independent consultancy. We work directly with our clients and stay involved in the projects we manage.

We also manage our own developments, so we understand the decisions, risks and challenges that come with taking a project from an idea through to delivery.

We don’t believe every project needs the same level of involvement. Our role is shaped around what you need and where we can add value.

HOW WE CAN HELP

The right support to move your development forward.

No two property developments are the same. Sometimes you need someone to manage the entire development journey. Other times, you need experienced support at a particular stage. EVERETT works alongside developers, investors and landowners to provide practical support that suits the project.

OUR APPROACH

How We Work

Most projects don't fail because of one big mistake. They fail because dozens of smaller issues go unnoticed until it's too late.

EVERETT works to identify risks early, keep consultants accountable and help clients make informed decisions throughout the development process.

Our experience across more than 50 projects has helped shape a practical approach to managing developments, reducing uncertainty and keeping projects moving.

Dan and Katelyn Everett of EVERETT Property Development Management
A hands-on approach. Direct involvement, practical experience and straightforward communication.

Every project is different, but our approach is built around four important stages.

01. Define the Strategy +

Before consultants are engaged or money is spent, we work to establish a clear pathway for the project.

  • Understand your objectives and project requirements
  • Identify potential risks and constraints early
  • Consider feasibility, budgets and timeframes
  • Establish a practical development and delivery strategy
02. Build the Right Team +

The right people make a significant difference to the success of a development. We help bring together the consultants and specialists needed for the project.

  • Identify the consultants and specialists required
  • Coordinate consultant appointments and responsibilities
  • Establish clear expectations and deliverables
  • Manage communication between project stakeholders
03. Drive Delivery +

We stay involved as the project progresses, helping coordinate the work, address issues and keep the agreed objectives in focus.

  • Coordinate consultants, contractors and authorities
  • Monitor progress, budgets and key timeframes
  • Identify issues and work through practical solutions
  • Keep clients informed and decisions moving forward
04. Protect the Outcome +

Good development management is about more than getting through a checklist. It's about keeping the bigger picture in mind and managing the details that can affect the final outcome.

  • Keep project objectives and commercial considerations in focus
  • Monitor risks, changes and emerging issues
  • Support informed decision-making throughout the project
  • Coordinate the steps required to progress towards completion

The difference is in how closely we stay involved. We bring practical development experience, direct communication and a clear understanding of what's required to move a project forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some Things You Might Be Wondering

Property development comes with plenty of moving parts. Here are a few common questions about how EVERETT works and the support we can provide.

What does EVERETT actually do?

EVERETT provides Development Management and Project Management services for property owners, developers and investors. We coordinate the people, decisions and processes involved in moving a development from an initial opportunity through to delivery.

This can include development strategy, planning approvals, consultant coordination, project delivery and construction support.

What is the difference between Development Management and Project Management?

Development Management generally takes a broader view of the development, from assessing the opportunity and establishing the strategy through approvals and delivery.

Project Management focuses more specifically on coordinating the delivery of an agreed project, including consultants, contractors, program, costs and project progress.

EVERETT provides both, depending on what your project needs. Learn more about Development Management.

Can EVERETT manage my entire development?

Yes. We can coordinate the broader development journey and take responsibility for managing the process on your behalf, with the scope agreed at the outset.

We can also provide targeted support if you already have a team in place and need assistance at a particular stage of the project.

Can you help if my project already has Development Approval?

Absolutely. There is often significant work required after Development Approval before a project is ready to start construction.

We can assist with conditions of approval, consultant coordination, detailed design, authority requirements, procurement and construction delivery.

How does EVERETT charge for its services?

Our fees depend on the project, the scope of work and the level of involvement required.

We generally work on an hourly rate basis and can offer a capped monthly fee where appropriate. We discuss the scope and fee arrangement before commencing an engagement.

Where does EVERETT work?

We are Queensland-based and work across South East Queensland, including Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Ipswich, Logan, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.

We also consider projects in other parts of Queensland depending on the project and the support required.
