Architects for Property Developers, by Developers – Maximise your ROI
How AURA Architecture & Interiors will maximise value from your Property Development
AURA Architecture was founded by Ben Richards, who has previously worked with architects, engineers, and one of the most notorious property development companies in the South East of the UK – the Berkeley Group. Ben helped add tens of millions of pounds to the bottom line of some vast property development schemes in SW London.
His team has also worked in-house for property developers running feasibility studies and development appraisals, together with carrying out some of their investments and developments. This is why AURA brings a ‘Maximising’ and ‘Optimising’ mindset to all of our clients’ property development schemes.
Ben runs AURA Architecture with his talented team of Architects and Designers. He also co-owns a property development business named ‘XP Property’ (www.XPproperty.co.uk) to understand the entire property development life-cycle and commercial aspects of any design that AURA creates.
His network of construction professionals, agents, financiers, and designers is a huge asset that he can bring to your property development project. He’s even brokered a cash injection of £270,000 to help one of his developer clients.
So call 0203 189 1619 or email info@aurahomes.co.uk to discuss how AURA can maximise value from your subsequent property development.
A Design Feasibility will help you figure out how many dwellings you can get on site.
The first place an architect will start with any property development is with a Design Feasibility. This involves reviewing all the relevant site constraints and a space planning exercise to develop and test the site possibilities. The goal of this development feasibility study is to:
Establish the project aims
Help understand what planning permissions are needed and what is likely to be approved
Create a sketch plan of the site
Create a Schedule of Accommodation
Enable a Quantity Surveyor to put a budget cost analysis together
All of the above will enable property developers and commercial architects to complete their financial appraisals and better understand what value they can offer a vendor for purchasing the land/property.
An AURA design feasibility will start from £1500 + VAT.
The sketch image shown helped one of our developer clients negotiate a site purchase for ten new-build dwellings navigating various constraints such as Tree Preservation Orders (TPO’s), Flood Risk Zones, and a Conservation Area.
AURA Architecture & Interiors are specialists in high-end residential architecture and property developments.
Since 2017 we’ve been designing home extensions and transformations, bespoke new builds, and small property developments for SME Developers across London and the Home Counties.
Our design-led studio creates simple, light-filled spaces that are energy-efficient, sustainable, and maximise space.
The final point above is the most relevant to a property developer like you!
We are experts in maximising space and therefore adding value to your property developments and investment schemes.
