Range of Services

Advisory Services

Crest adds significant value to Developer’s in the early stages of projects and often prior to site purchase. Services include Feasibility Studies and Due Diligence, which are essential pre-purchase services a Developer should consider before land acquisition.

Development Management

Crest is involved from project inception to completion. Development Management responsibilities include project briefing, consultant appointment, management of town planning activities, approval management and negotiation with authorities before flowing into a more traditional project management role. At the back end of the Project our team also has the relevant expertise to help manage processes such as Plan Sealing and Titling to ensure a smooth pathway from Project Completion to Client’s receiving settlements from buyers.

Project Management

Crest offers a hands-on approach to Project Management which is focused on the desired outcome of our Clients at all times. Our Project Management experts engage with our hands-on philosophy through design stages, approval requirements, tendering and procurement, construction phase and defect liability stage.

Design Management

Crest can manage the design process from inception through to completion, covering the scope from appointment of consultants through to completion of as-constructed plans. We believe it is essential that all consultants are suitably briefed and scopes of service are clear prior to any appointment, to ensure successful delivery of the Client’s aims and objectives.

Superintendent Services

Crest has provided Superintendent Services on a wide range of projects, up to $80 million in value. In our experience, establishing a suitable Contract up front, followed by effective Contract administration is vital to the successful outcome of any project. Crest Project Management and our individual Directors hold relevant QBCC licences to provide Superintendent Services.
