Process

My involvement is defined by timing and intent.
The earlier the framework is established, the greater the leverage.

Early-stage involvement

I intervene from the very beginning of a property installation project.
At this stage, decisions are still flexible, assumptions can be tested, and long-term consequences can be anticipated rather than corrected.

When required, I work in coordination with a trusted buyer’s agent within my network, who conducts targeted property searches aligned with the project’s objectives.
This allows architectural, regulatory, and financial considerations to be integrated upstream, before acquisition decisions are locked in.

Post-acquisition involvement

I frequently intervene after a property has been purchased.
In this configuration, the role focuses on structuring decisions, clarifying priorities, and establishing a stable framework before commitments are made with architects, designers, or contractors.

The objective is to transform an acquired asset into a coherent project, rather than allowing execution to dictate intent by default.

Intervention during works

In some cases, I intervene once construction has already started.
These situations are typically corrective in nature, where misalignment, uncertainty, or decision drift has emerged.

This type of intervention is not the core of my practice.
It is closer to project recovery than structured development, and is undertaken selectively, often to stabilise a situation rather than to redesign it.

How the process begins

Each engagement starts with a focused exchange.
The goal is not to audit everything, but to understand where the project stands, what has already been decided, and where exposure lies.

From there, the scope of intervention is defined deliberately:
what must be clarified, what can be secured, and what requires active representation.

The process is always shaped around one principle:
decisions should be made intentionally, with context, and before options disappear.
