Property Developers | Project Managers | Commercial Energy Assessors (NDEA)

We’re a small team based in Chelmsford, focusing on residential and mixed-use development opportunities in Essex and neighbouring counties. We also provide a project/development management service and offer a commercial energy assessment (NDEA) and advice service.

About us


With over 30 years’ experience in residential, commercial and mixed-use development in Essex, Suffolk, Herts, Greater London and various parts of the Midlands for selected clients, we understand development. We work with a trusted team of other property professionals and consultants, and have built a wealth of local knowledge. Our development management experience combines the skills of a Chartered Planning & Development Surveyor (MRICS), Considerate Constructors Scheme Monitor and Commercial Energy Assessor (NDEA). Our work also includes collaboration with innovators in the waste management industry, including the waste-to-energy sector, gasification, harvesting food grade CO2 and the production of synthetic lightweight aggregate.

Project Management


Our typical involvement with a project runs from identification of an opportunity long before acquisition, until the end of the warranty provider’s initial defects period (ie 2 years following Practical Completion) and includes every step in between.

We manage projects up to various stages, according to clients’ requirements, and can tailor our approach to suit.

Our projects to date include planning consent for over 150 new homes over 9 sites.

Our current pipeline includes 43 new homes over 7 new sites.

And we’re always looking for further opportunities.

Commercial EPCs


Our Elmhurst Certified commercial energy assessor (NDEA) undertakes level 3 and 4 assessments across England. We also work collaboratively with other NDEAs across the UK on projects of various sizes including small offices and retail units to large hotels (200+ bedrooms) and potentially everything in between.

We’d be happy to discuss your Non-Domestic EPC requirements in more detail - even if you’d just like a quick chat to confirm how the rules apply to your property.

Whilst we can’t undertake Domestic Energy Assessment (DEA) work, we would be happy to put you in touch with an assessor who can assist.

Requirements


We’re not restricted to specific requirements, so we’d be keen to look any opportunities within the following broad parameters:

  • Off-market deals
  • Typically 1-50 units
  • Essex and surrounding counties
  • Usually without planning permission (or with improvement potential)
  • …and we’re happy to recognise effective introductions
