Although there is a very big difference between the establishment of a large 5-star resort and a simple and cost effective tropical eco resort development, the principles of the development process remain the same.
Some key considerations in achieving cost effective and efficient eco resort development are.
- Knowing what processes can be executed in parallel, without risk, and which cannot
- Knowing the next steps and how they need to be executed before they require immediate action
- Knowing the durations of each step to ensure all information is available and ready prior to requirements
- Knowing when the predevelopment works will be completed so construction can be commenced with the minimum of delay to mobilise and procure products and services.
The above knowledge can only come from experience, not just in project developments, but from local knowledge, of regulations, deeds, government processes, precedent steps to each future step, what information is required, by whom, and at what step of the process, and so on. This is where Kepri Estates deep local knowledge and affiliate experts can cut through the red tape and ensure our clients developments are expedited in the fastest possible timeframes.
