Development management
on the owner’s side

Investor representation —
from the first decision point to delivery

On a complex project, designers, contractors, site inspectors and legal and financial parties all work at once. From the owner's perspective, though, what matters isn't each discipline's task on its own, but that they add up to consistent decisions, a transparent process and a deliverable project state.

A development project isn't a set of standalone subtasks

The investor needs a backing that holds the whole project together. Without it, the following happen:

Decisions are made along disciplines, not by owner logic



Technical, financial and legal aspects run side by side, not in their interconnections



Critical decision points only become clear in hindsight



The investor loses sight of the parties, decisions and consequences

Klevum's developer project management provides exactly this owner-side coordination

Who is Development Management for?

We work with investors and developers who need owner-side project leadership for preparing, designing or delivering a project:

Small and mid-size developers

Who don't have their own in-house development team but want professional owner-side project leadership.

Companies running their own development

Who are starting a site, office or warehouse development and want to entrust project leadership to an owner-side expert.

Investor groups

Who are launching or have bought a project and want owner-side leadership throughout delivery.

When should you bring us in?

The entry point depends on the project's current phase — we work in the preparation, design and delivery stages alike. In most cases it adds value for the owner's side to see the whole project within a single decision framework.

  • If project progress isn't measured against the owner's goals
  • If the investor has no in-house development team
  • If the investor wants owner-side project leadership, not day-to-day construction management
  • If the project touches several disciplines and business decisions at once

What does Klevum's Development Management deliver?

We don't take over a single discipline's task. We keep the project in hand within the interconnections of owner interests and delivery steps — across four areas.

Owner-side project leadership

  • We bring the whole development process together around the owner's goals.
  • We provide a single decision framework instead of disconnected discipline tasks.
  • We provide continuous visibility into the project's status.

Aligning parties and decisions

  • We align the work of designers, contractors and experts in one direction.
  • We prepare decisions and tie them to the critical points.

Delivery control

  • We keep delivery in hand along investor interest and decision consistency.
  • We continuously track the interconnections of cost, time and technical scope.

Aligning financing and completion

  • We align drawdowns of financing with actual physical completion.
  • We watch the gap between planned and actual cash flow before liquidity strain sets in.

Project control or project management?

Project control → A focused review of a project already under way: we surface the critical points, the decision situations and the hidden risks, so the owner's side sees clearly in time.
Development management Sustained owner-side leadership across the whole process: from preparation to delivery we keep the project in hand within a single decision framework.

Not construction management,
owner-side project leadership

We're not general contractors, a substitute for the site inspector, or legal representatives.
Our role is for the owner's side's decisions, discipline information and delivery steps to work within a single project logic.

We organize the information held by separate parties into an investor decision framework and plug into the project's decision and delivery process — as the representative of the owner's project interests.

Klevum stands on the investor's side. Our goal is for the project not just to move forward, but to be delivered in line with the owner's goals.


Let's talk about managing your development project

In a first conversation we review which Klevum entry point is relevant at the project's current phase: a focused project control, or a broader owner-side development management.
