How Development Managers save the day
17th February 2025
The latest episode in our podcast series ‘Why Don’t We Build More Houses?’ explores the growing importance of Development Management in the UK property development sector.
Host, Fruition Properties Chief Operating Office, Parul Scampion speaks with Danny Wittenberg, Head of Development at Fruition Properties, and special guest Andrew Duffy, a Partner from Zerum , about why Development Management has become more critical in recent years.
Covering increasing regulations, financial risks, and the need for experienced professionals to navigate complex projects, they discuss how many developers, particularly those from overseas, struggle with UK-specific regulations; often underestimating project costs and risks and how Development Managers like Fruition Properties can help mitigate these risks and in many instances, step in to save a distressed project by adding value, securing better procurement terms, and cutting overall costs along the way.
Previous episodes in the series cover a range of topics and special guests from across the industry including ‘Why You Can’t Find a Builder’, ‘The Perils of Planning’, ‘Cracking the Code of Land Acquisition’ , ‘Talking Interiors’ and ‘Selling Houses in a Perma-Crisis’ amongst others, and are all available to stream now on Spotify or Apple.
