Feasibility first.
Look at the site, what it can yield, the planning rules and whether the numbers work before the project gathers speed.
Have a property project in mind? Let’s talk it through.
Buying land, subdividing, improving a building or planning the funding. Talk with Viranda about the property, the decisions ahead and where you need support.
Discuss a project
A clear view before you commit.
Specialists in the right order.
Legal, planning, survey, engineering and finance inputs affect one another. Establish which advice is needed and what it needs to resolve.
A clear view for the owner.
Keep risk, costs, timing and upcoming decisions in view, so the detail supports the bigger commercial picture.
The stages of a development.
Explore the considerations at each stage and the specialists involved. The scope of Viranda’s role is agreed for the project.
Test the opportunity before committing.
The site, planning rules and likely yield set the starting point. Purchase price, development costs and a realistic end value need to work together.
The decision to make
What assumptions does the project depend on, and which still need testing?
Specialist input
Planning · Valuation · Commercial assessment
Understand what you are taking on.
Title conditions, access, existing obligations and the purchase terms can change what is possible. Legal and accounting input belongs alongside the commercial assessment.
The decision to make
What needs resolving before the purchase becomes unconditional?
Specialist input
Legal · Accounting · Survey
Connect funding with the project timetable.
Settlement, design work and construction create different funding needs. The owner also needs a clear view of costs, reporting and the decisions ahead.
The decision to make
When is capital needed, and what happens if timing or costs change?
Specialist input
Finance · Accounting · Owner reporting
Bring the right advice into the consent process.
Planning, design and engineering requirements need to be considered together. Consent conditions can affect the scope, cost and sequence of work.
The decision to make
Which approvals and conditions need to be addressed before work proceeds?
Specialist input
Planning · Architecture · Engineering
Make the boundaries and services clear.
Survey information informs the layout, subdivision and title process. Access, easements and service connections need to support the intended use.
The decision to make
Does the proposed layout work legally as well as physically?
Specialist input
Survey · Planning · Legal
Coordinate what needs to happen on the ground.
Roads, drainage and other services have dependencies of their own. Contractor scope, programme and specialist oversight need to line up with the wider project.
The decision to make
Which works must be completed before the next stage can begin?
Specialist input
Civil engineering · Contractors
Keep the title process connected to the programme.
New titles depend on completed requirements and the right documentation. Their timing matters for settlement, funding and the next phase of the project.
The decision to make
What is still required for titles, and which commitments depend on them?
Specialist input
Survey · Legal · Council processes
Reassess the next move with current information.
Selling completed lots and proceeding with a build have different capital, timing and market implications. The decision should reflect the project as it stands.
The decision to make
Does the next step still fit the owner’s objectives and the market?
Specialist input

Long Bay Village.
A development Viranda has been involved with on Auckland’s North Shore.
Funding for building
and land projects.
Whether you’re buying, improving or developing, the funding needs to fit the property and the project.
Talk with Viranda about your funding requirements, the advisers already involved and the support you’re looking for.
Ask about fundingThe property’s income.
Existing rent, likely vacancy and holding costs affect how much the property can support while work is under way.
The project’s timing.
Settlement, consent and construction costs fall at different points. The funding plan needs to allow for that sequence.
The terms behind the funding.
Security, drawdowns, conditions and repayment matter alongside the rate. These need to be worked through with the finance provider.
Local knowledge. Global relationships.
Viranda works with individuals, families and businesses in New Zealand and overseas, bringing a local perspective to their commercial property decisions.
