Funding Bigger Projects

Development finance, investors, phasing and managing serious risk

The final conversions book is about moving from one completed project towards larger schemes safely. It shows you how to build a repeatable way of finding deals, use one appraisal method every time, and standardise due diligence and specification. You will see the duties you cannot delegate and how to choose a contractor and the contract that binds them. The funding chapter explains how development finance actually works, with an honest worked example, the VAT advantage many beginners miss, the law you must respect when raising money from investors and the discipline of not over-borrowing. Further chapters cover the software that earns its keep and the risks that sink developments, including building safety rules that change with the size of your building. The book is honest about where self-teaching stops working, and ends with a twelve-month plan from small deals towards bigger projects. This is the final book in the Commercial to Residential Conversions series.
