At EVERETT, our property development management service supports landowners, investors and developers working in real estate and property development across South East Queensland, spanning residential, commercial and industrial projects at every scale. We manage projects across Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich and Logan, guiding your project from concept through to completion.
With eight years working across South East Queensland and more than 50 completed development projects, we offer a clear pathway that reduces delays, manages risk and supports a stronger commercial outcome.
Development management means overseeing a property project from initial concept through to completion, on behalf of the landowner, investor or developer. It brings every stage of delivery under a single point of accountability.
A development manager acts as your representative. We coordinate architects, engineers and consultants, manage risk across the life of the project and keep every stakeholder aligned as decisions are made. This typically covers:
Handled well, development management protects the commercial outcome of a project.
At EVERETT, our role begins before a site is purchased and continues through to completion. This includes feasibility, approvals strategy, risk management and commercial positioning.
A development manager is judged on the success of the investment. A project manager is judged on the delivery of an approved design. Once the direction is set, a project manager manages consultants, programme and construction to deliver it.
In simple terms, a development manager protects the commercial outcome. A project manager delivers the approved solution. This distinction sets your project up correctly from the very first stage.
EVERETT provides development management for commercial property development across South East Queensland, spanning retail centres, industrial facilities, commercial fit-outs and multi-tenant developments. We apply the same feasibility, approvals and cost discipline to these commercial projects as we do to residential ones, so your commercial outcome stays protected at any scale.
We define the project vision, prepare feasibility studies and structure early stage strategy so you understand the financial and planning outcome before committing capital.
We coordinate planners, architects and engineers, drawing on established relationships with consultants to maintain quality and consistency.
Our team manages development applications and approvals across South East Queensland, working closely with our town planning team to support an efficient outcome.
We work closely with financiers and consultants to align funding structures with project objectives and reduce financial risk.
EVERETT manages tenders and contracts with a focus on transparency, so you receive clear pricing and a well structured agreement. For more on the types of contracts we use, see our pocket guide to building contracts.
Before you sign, it pays to have your site boundaries confirmed. Here’s why you might speak to a surveyor before signing a construction contract.
We lead communication across all stakeholders, so your project stays aligned and decisions are made with clarity.
We oversee final approvals, handover and documentation, so your project transitions smoothly into its next stage, whatever that looks like for you. If you’re weighing up a superintendent versus a principal’s representative, our guide explains the difference.

Development Manager is responsible for the overall management of all aspects of a property development either directly or by delegation. The discipline confirm that all aspects are fully aligned into a single cohesive strategy, while balancing often competing objectives such as quality on one hand and cost control on the other.
A Development Manager may be acting in the role of a Consultant or carry out Superintendent services, or could be employed directly by a Developer or Property Owner to look after the development process on their behalf. Professional developers sometimes provide a development management service to property owners either on a fee basis or in a joint venture capacity. Furthermore, within development organisations the roles of the development manager may be spread across a team that collectively achieve the objectives outlined in Development Management agreement. Further, a development manager may be involved in the end-to-end development process, although equally they may only be involved in certain stages of the development process. This is dependent on the project type, size, engagement and purpose of the development managers’ role.

Katelyn Everett holds the following qualifications:
EVERETT is director led and family run, with Dan and Katelyn working directly with every client rather than handing projects to junior staff. Dan also invests in and delivers his own development projects, so he advises from real experience on both sides of the table, as consultant and as developer.
Our experience spans industrial, residential, retail, commercial, childcare, aged care and health projects across Brisbane, Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast and Toowoomba, including projects such as Reflection Cove Apartments in Maroochydore, BDW Warehouse in Brendale and the Aspley Hypermarket Shopping Centre redevelopment, while also providing client-side project management and superintendent services.
Clients choose EVERETT because we act as a single point of accountability for their investment. We protect your commercial outcome from the first feasibility study through to handover, giving private landowners the confidence that a larger firm, focused on volume, may not offer.
Not every project is ready for a full development management engagement from day one. See our property development advice services for feasibility sense checks and early-stage guidance if you are still weighing up whether a site or project stacks up. Once you are ready to move into delivery, our guides to superintendent versus principal’s representative and the types of building contracts we work with cover some of the contractual decisions still ahead.
EVERETT works with landowners, investors and developers throughout South East Queensland – not just in Brisbane. Wherever your site is, we bring the same feasibility-to-delivery approach and the same director-level involvement. Explore our work and local experience in your region:
Development management means overseeing a property project from feasibility through to completion. It covers site strategy, design coordination, authority approvals and cost control, all coordinated by a single point of accountability. A development manager protects the commercial outcome of the project at every stage.
A property development manager oversees your project from feasibility and design through to approvals, construction and handover. We coordinate consultants, contractors and authorities on your behalf, giving you one point of contact for the life of the project.
If you’re investing in a property project and don’t have the time, expertise or internal team to manage it directly, a development manager gives you a single point of accountability. We manage the process for you and help you avoid costly delays. This gives you confidence in your project’s commercial outcome.
We manage property development projects across South East Queensland, spanning everything from small residential sites through to larger commercial developments, including land subdivision and subdivision project management. Whether you’re subdividing land, developing a commercial project or managing a larger residential development, our team can guide the process from concept through to completion.
A development manager oversees the full project from feasibility through to completion, protecting your commercial outcome at every stage. A superintendent has a narrower role, administering the building contract and certifying that construction is carried out in line with its terms. Many EVERETT projects use both roles together, with the development manager providing oversight across the whole project.
Clients of EVERETT value clear advice, consistent delivery and direct access to experienced professionals. Our role is to guide projects from feasibility through to completion with confidence, clarity and a strong commercial focus.
