The financial performance of a development scheme is dependant on many factors. Market fluctuations are often an issue and can make or break a poorly managed project. Good project management, however, can protect against the risks associated with trading through a period of instability in the market. 

The partners and senior surveyors at Kirkby & Diamond have been involved in many very successful schemes over the years. Drawing on the experience gained from the early days of the Milton Keynes Development Corporation the firm has helped clients achieve some remarkable results - from small infill sites to major urban extensions. For Kirkby & Diamond, good project management starts with site identification and runs right on through the valuation and  negotiation of acquisition terms, due diligence, planning capacity, content and design, cost planning, procurement, performance monitoring, and practical completion and ends with marketing and disposal. It’s a process that works and that delivers exceptional results in terms of timing and performance.

Having advised developers for many years Kirkby & Diamond know just how important it is to establish good working relationships with other agents, with funders, planners and other professionals. The firm prides itself on the level of service provided and on the ability to pass on the benefit of Kirkby & Diamond’s professional reputation that, in turn, enables K&D’s clients to secure the best deals on the best terms and in the best locations.

Kirkby & Diamond have a dedicated team of professionals in house. It includes planners  - who have worked for the local authorities in the areas in which the firm operates - residential and commercial valuers, building surveyors, and quantity surveyors and  some very astute agency surveyors who can put the icing on the cake.
