Master Plan Advisory

Great master plans have balance. Balance between form and function, between shops and offices, houses and highways, spaces that are commercial and spaces that are contemplative. All too often master plans are led from a design, transport or infrastructure perspective only to undergo significant revision when commercial realities are taken into account. Save time and money by giving consideration to commercial aspects in the early stages. In order to achieve a truly balanced and financially viable master plan, a range of factors need to be taken into account. Economic analysis is one such key input.

High quality economic analysis allows you to ensure the right land uses are in the right locations, and in the right quantities. With our advice, you will know where and when to build to maximise the commerciality of the plan. We provide analysis that determines the most appropriate mix of land uses for the site as well as phasing plans that clearly delineate the potential delivery schedule for these land uses. Armed with this information, your master planners can design a scheme that is both exciting and practical. This work also strengthens your planning case – when you can prove through independent analysis that your project is economically supportable and justified, planning approvals come far more easily.
