BTG Eddisons' development consultancy service supports public sector organisations bringing forward development schemes, from regeneration sites and housing-led projects to business parks, healthcare hubs, and purpose-built student accommodation. The service covers development viability, feasibility studies, and public-private partnership (PPP) structuring.

This work is led by Javid Patel, Senior Director and Head of Public Sector and Strategic Advisory, who specialises in development feasibility, corporate advisory, and capital markets. To discuss a scheme, call 0800 051 2593, email [email protected], or complete our contact form further down the page.

What does our development consultancy service cover?

Development viability

Master planning, development strategy, and responding to shifts in real estate markets to support place-making and move stalled or early-stage schemes forward.

Feasibility studies

Devising funding routes that combine public and private sector investment to support housing sites, business parks, healthcare hubs, and PBSA schemes through to delivery.

Property structures

Identifying the right structure for public-private partnerships and other transfer arrangements between the public and private sectors to achieve fair, workable outcomes.

How does our development consultancy process work?

  1. Discovery and data gathering – Understanding the scheme's objectives, site constraints, and existing data to establish a clear baseline.
  2. Options appraisal – Evaluating development options against strategic objectives, financial parameters, and procurement constraints.
  3. Business case development – Structuring the case using the HM Treasury Green Book five-case model where funding approval is required.
  4. Delivery and monitoring – Supporting delivery and reporting progress against the agreed business case.
