Development

A data-driven approach to commercial and residential development. We prioritize feasibility studies, yield optimization, and the mitigation of planning risks to ensure every project is both profitable and resilient. Our strategy reconciles marketability with high-performance architecture, delivering sustainable value for developers and stakeholders across Melbourne’s urban landscape.

Any residential or commercial development must be profitable to be successful for our clients. All buildings must achieve good sustainable designs to ensure they are well maintained and loved into their future.

A feasibility study will always be prepared before launching into a design process.

The study will examine all:

  • Statutory planning controls, allowable building envelopes and the risks involved in obtaining planning permits
  • Building mass
  • Yield
  • Local market conditions, and
  • Marketability

A detailed site analysis will be required for planning approvals and assist in preliminary building mass proposals.

Often a number of options will emerge through the feasibility stage, highlighting risk and return.

Once an agreed brief is confirmed – the design process can begin.

We combine innovative ideas, experience and most importantly research into the market and marketability to produce a creative and personalised design. We will provide ideas that produce a sustainable building in term of its architecture and environment and are profitable in the market to fully satisfy your aesthetic and financial requirements.

Most building developments require planning permit approvals, and through close consultation during the design processes we can re-assess risks involved in obtaining permits. We establish and maintain strong positive relationships with all planning authorities to ensure success.

Designs and documentation are tailored to suit the building’s scope and complexity, and collaboration with other consultants will ensure a detailed design process for building construction to be carried out in a straightforward manner.

BY Projects Architecture also carry out all contract administration stages for development projects, ensuring buildings are delivered on time and on budget.
