Development site acquisition, due diligence, financial feasibility and DA/CDC approval-pathway support for business owners, builders and emerging developers across Sydney and the Central Coast.
Why this matters
Most development
mistakes are made
at the beginning.
Wrong site. Wrong assumptions. Missed constraints. Unclear approval pathway. These are the issues that can compromise a development before construction ever starts.
Business owners, builders and emerging developers who approach the front end without a structured process often spend months pursuing sites that never proceed, pay for consultants on projects that do not stack, or commit before the risks and cost impacts are properly understaood.
Identify hidden zoning, overlay, access, stormwater or service constraints before exchange.
Test DA/CDC approval-pathway risks caused by missed controls, weak documentation or unclear consultant briefs.
Review commercial feasibility, resale evidence and constraint-related cost impacts before moving forward.
Check whether CDC, Low and Mid-Rise or Pattern Book pathways may create a more suitable approval strategy
THE SITE-FIRST DEVELOPMENT METHOD™
A structured front-end process.
Three phases. One clear outcome.
We work with qualified buyers to source, assess and progress better development sites with the site, numbers, constraints and approval pathway tested before major commitment is made. We act for the buyer - not the vendor. Sites are assessed against your acquisition criteria, feasibility, constraints and approval pathway before they are recommended.
Phase 01
Acquisition Strategy & Site Criteria
We clarify your budget range, capital/equity position, borrowing pathway, target locations, preferred site type and acquisition criteria before time and money are committed.
- Budget range and capital/equity position
- Borrowing pathway and readiness
- Target locations and preferred site type
- Acquisition criteria defined
Phase 02
Due Diligence, Financial Feasibility & Site Acquisition
We source and assess suitable sites, including off-market where available. Before a site is recommended, we test zoning, overlays, services, access, stormwater, site constraints, resale evidence, financial feasibility and the likely DA/CDC approval pathway.
- Site sourcing and initial assessment
- Due diligence and site constraints review
- Financial feasibility and resale evidence review
- DA/CDC suitability and approval-pathway review
- Acquisition support and negotiation
Phase 03
DA/CDC Approval
Once the site is secured, we coordinate the relevant reports, consultants and approval-pathway documentation through to DA or CDC approval.
- Planner, certifier, architect, surveyor, engineer and other consultant coordination
- Approval-pathway documentation set
- Council or certifier coordination
- RFIs, consultant sign-offs and progress through to approval
Outcome: a clearer front-end decision and a structured path through acquisition and approval.

Your guide
We've been in
development long enough
to know where it goes wrong.
Andrey Vinogradov leads Property Developers Team, bringing a Class 1 real estate licence, a town planning degree, council experience and a background in construction surveying on major projects like Darling Harbour and NorthConnex, alongside 25+ development projects and 9 successful Land and Environment Court outcomes.
That experience taught him a simple truth: most development problems start before the build, at site selection and approval-pathway assessment.
So before any site is treated as a serious opportunity, Andrey tests whether it stacks financially, can physically support the development, and has a realistic path to approval — giving buyers a clear reason to move forward, or the confidence to walk away early.
CLIENT PROOF
From uncertainty to clearer development-site decisions.
Clients come to us when they want the site, numbers, constraints and approval pathway tested before making a major commitment.

MELISSA
"Their expertise and understanding of the market gave me confidence in every decision."
ANITA
"The entire experience was well-organised, supportive, and exceeded my expectations. The front-end process was handled in a way I couldn't have managed myself."
ALAN
"Their communication was consistent, transparent, and reassuring at every stage. I knew exactly what was happening and why."
SERGIO
"What began with uncertainty quickly became a clear and confident development journey. Andrey brought structure to a process I didn't know how to approach alone."

frequently asked questions
Questions before
you book a call.
Do I own the site?
Yes, you purchase and own the site. This is not a joint venture or shared ownership model. You remain in full control of the asset and all key commercial decisions throughout the process. We coordinate the front-end process on your behalf - we do not take an ownership stake or manage your capital.
What happens after DA or CDC approval?
Once the site is secured and the DA or CDC approval is in place, the next stage is your choice. You may build and sell, build and hold, keep one, sell both - or seek further support where applicable. Any post-approval support is separate and only provided by agreement where the site, client position and project structure are suitable.
How are the service fees structured?
The service is structured across two stages - Development Site Acquisition and the DA/CDC Approval pathway. Fees are discussed and confirmed once fit is established. Consultant fees, reports, council fees and third-party costs are separate and project-specific. Post-approval support, where considered, is separate and by agreement.
