How a senior team actually delivers
Delivery certainty. Capital protected. A clean handover.
The outcome every fund underwrites on a residential scheme — forward-funded, turnkey, or anything in between — and the question is who’s ready to actually deliver it. However your capital goes in, the delivery risk is yours. This is how our senior team carries and protects it.

What’s the deal in front of you?
Pick any that apply, and tell us where to send your tailored read — or just have a look. Either way, choose one to continue.
Capability · 02You hold the development risk. You shouldn’t have to build an in-house team to carry it.
Risk lands back with you
PM, QS, planner and technical sit in different firms. When something moves, no one owns the whole — and the exposure returns to your desk.
No single ownerCapacity can’t flex
Funds scale faster than in-house teams can. Spread oversight across disconnected firms and you lose sight of the portfolio you’re funding.
Scaling gapNo portfolio read
Every scheme reported differently. Your IC has nowhere to look for one consistent, investment-grade view across the book.
No single read
Capability · 02We become your delivery team — run as an investment asset, not a construction project.
Senior people
A director and three senior development managers. The people you meet are the people who deliver — same names through pitch, mobilisation, drawdown and handover.
Competent deliveryWorking framework
One backbone every scheme runs on — standardised documents and a mature, proven process. Built once, deployed every time.
Built like a productIntegrated tech
We connect every scheme’s data into one tech-led layer that reads it like an expert — surfacing what matters before it costs you.
Acts as an expertCapability · 03A named senior owner in the room at every stage.
No bait-and-switch — the director who pitches is the senior who runs drawdown. The same senior owner carries the relationship and the risk from first conversation to end of defects.
Pitch & fit
Scheme, structure, deliverability. Honest read before commitment.
Mobilisation
DFA, employer’s requirements, appointments engineered.
Monitoring
Monthly RAG, risk register, investment meeting.
Drawdown
Investor-grade packs against the funding agreement.
Handover
Quality, defects close-out, stabilised asset.
Capability · 04Everything that would otherwise land on your desk — we carry. Built once, sharpened scheme by scheme.
Contract & DFA
JCT/D&B and the funding agreement negotiated from your side.
Employer's requirements
Authored for compliance and how the asset must operate.
Change control
Contractor CRs scrutinised, priced and held to the deal.
Warranties & compliance
DDFA/warranty gaps closed in writing before completion; EPC, EV and building-safety tracked.
Monthly monitoring
Site presence, RAG and a contract-referenced risk register — every scheme, every month.
Drawdown packs
Investor-grade packs against the funding agreement.
Handover
Quality, snagging and defects close-out to a stabilised asset.
The portfolio read
One consistent, investment-grade view across the book.
Capability · 05The technical contract pack is what protects the bottom line.
Contract negotiation
The DFA, JCT and D&B negotiated from the funder’s side — specification uplifts, extended defects, fixed-price certainty secured in the deal.
Negotiated, not acceptedWarranty & contract work
Warranty cover and contract gaps engineered and closed in writing — the difference between a clean asset and a contingent liability.
Closed in writingStanding risk reviews
A risk register reviewed every cycle, tied to the contract, with a named owner per item — no risk passed around or left open.
Owned end-to-endAnd the due diligence is built on top of it — every DD report is tailored to the contract risk, with each finding traced straight back to our own risk assessment. Not a generic checklist.
Capability · 06One repeatable cycle. Every scheme, every month.
On site
Senior site presence against programme, quality and the funding agreement.
One data set
Programme, cost and unit data integrated with sales into a single layer.
RAG & risk
Design, programme, cost and warranties graded; risk register updated.
Investment meeting
A senior partner in your IC — a decision-maker in the room, not a read-out.
Drawdown pack
Investor-grade report and a drawdown-ready pack, in investment language.
Capability · 07Small, senior — and ahead of it.
Because we’re in the data every month, we see stress building before it’s a crisis — a contractor under strain, a condition slipping. Exposure and warranty positions get mapped early, so you’re never starting from behind.
So when something does go wrong, you can move quickly — we’re already across it. And it’s not only reports: a bespoke tracker, a new analysis, software built to your workflow. Being small means we build it to fit. Agile by design.
A contractor under financial strain
Picked up in monthly monitoring, not the headlines. We mapped exposure and warranty positions across the affected schemes and had a recommended action ready — before it forced anyone’s hand.

Clerk of works, defects, programme, cost and sales — every feed from every scheme, pulled together and structured: one drawdown-ready pack, every report in one place.

Plate I · Clapham Park · LambethClapham Park, Lambeth
Part of Europe's largest consented regeneration. Client's interests at risk inside a contractor-driven masterplan with competing priorities and a complex multi-phase structure. Continuous senior protection required.
Negotiated bespoke development funding agreements. Authored employer's requirements engineered for enhanced compliance. Established clear communication channels across contractor workstreams. Ran the framework end to end.
One of the more complex schemes in our portfolio — Momentm have been involved from the start. Hands-on throughout, and the technical contract pack they negotiated is what protects our bottom line.Alasdair Orledge · Investment Manager · Thriving Investments
Capability · 11Langley Park, Chippenham
Major Vistry Group scheme stalled by historical planning issues. Client's interests at risk of dilution in a multi-developer masterplan. Sales readiness and handover processes especially exposed.
Mobilised proactive teams, reviewed inherited DFA, identified risks early, engaged sales and marketing strategically. Streamlined processes eliminated delays — units met exacting quality standards on schedule.
This one was delayed and needed a reset. Same developer, but the inherited contract needed real work. The relationship James built with the developer team got us a specification uplift and an extended defects period — units have come over to a high standard.

Plate III · Etherow Grange · Peak DistrictEtherow Grange, Peak District
Inherited half-built after developer insolvency. Extensive legacy issues — incomplete planning conditions, fragmented approvals, missing warranties, significant quality assurance gaps. Substantial commercial risk for the forward-funder.
Consolidated fragmented information through our document control system. Systematically closed planning conditions and warranty documentation. Ran competitive tender securing an ambitious fixed-price JCT D&B contract. Stakeholder confidence revitalised inside one quarter.
Jack took this scheme on for us following developer insolvency — we inherited planning risk and fragmented information. He agreed a fixed-price JCT, helped set up the funding-facility agreement and ensured compliance with it, and got the programme back on track. First handovers approaching: quality is good, cost is exactly on budget.Elizabeth Brown · Investment Manager · Gresham
