Development management is the end-to-end coordination of a property project — feasibility, site acquisition, planning and DA approvals, funding, consultant and builder management, construction oversight, leasing and delivery. RCI Group acts as a single development manager and point of contact from conception to completion.
A development manager runs the project on the owner's behalf: setting strategy, testing feasibility, securing approvals, coordinating consultants and builders, managing the budget and programme, arranging funding, overseeing construction, and securing tenants — so the owner has one accountable party responsible for the outcome.
As early as possible — ideally before or at acquisition — so feasibility, planning strategy and funding are shaped correctly from the start. RCI Group can also step in on projects already underway to manage approvals, delivery and leasing through to completion.
Yes. RCI Group works across New South Wales, with completed projects on the Central Coast, in Newcastle and the Hunter, the Upper Hunter, the Mid North Coast including Port Macquarie, Tamworth and along the Pacific Highway corridor.
Typically a management fee, a share of project profit, or a combination — and RCI can also partner through a joint venture. The right structure depends on the project; we agree it up front so incentives are aligned with the best outcome.
