At Sanctuary Development & Consulting, we specialise in guiding clients through every stage of residential development. Whether you're a first-time investor or a seasoned property developer, we provide expert support to transform your ideas into thriving, profitable projects. Our approach is holistic, practical, and backed by hands-on experience delivering our own developments across South Australia.

We start by helping you assess a site's development potential. This includes:

• Detailed zoning and planning reviews
   
• Highest and best use analysis
   
• Preliminary development yield estimates (number of dwellings, lot sizes, etc.)
   
• Cost and profit feasibility modelling
   
• Risk assessment and scenario testing
   

This ensures you only commit to projects with strong financial viability and strategic merit.

We identify and help secure ideal development sites based on your goals and budget. Our service includes:

• Off-market site sourcing via our agent and developer networks
   
• Due diligence (title, easements, overlays, contamination)
   
• Price negotiation and purchase structuring
   
• Assistance with finance introductions if needed
   

Once a site is secured, we work closely with architects, planners, and engineers to shape your vision into an approvable plan. We:

• Manage concept designs to suit market demand and council guidelines
   
• Prepare and lodge development applications (DA)
   
• Liaise with councils to address queries or objections
   
• Work to optimise the number of dwellings and project efficiency
   

We offer full project management or can act as your development manager. This covers:

• Builder tendering and contract negotiation (HIA or fixed price)
   
• Budget control, progress claims, and payment scheduling
   
• On-site supervision and milestone reporting
   
• Problem-solving during construction to keep things on time and on budget
   

For projects that involve land division, we handle:

• Land survey coordination
   
• Lodgement and management of land division applications
   
• Infrastructure coordination (SA Water, power, sewer, NBN)
   
• Community or Torrens title establishment
   
• Title issuance and readiness for sale or refinance
   

We help you position your project for a successful return, whether it's for sale or long-term hold:

• Strategy for presales, staging, or hold vs. sell
   
• Agent selection and pricing support
   
• Leasing setup for investment stock
   
• Collaboration with mortgage brokers and financial planners to assist with refinancing or investment rollout
