Larger residential developments on 1000 m²+ or consolidated sites. The same direct-to-client model, scaled up, with body corp and titled units worked into the programme.
Where multi-unit work tips into a larger scale.
Once a site supports five or more units, the work changes. There is more consenting, more services design, a body corporate to set up, and usually a unit-title strategy from the beginning.
BF Property has run medium-density developments through the Christchurch Replacement Plan for years and now under the National Policy Statement on Urban Development. The consent path is well-understood and economies of scale can be better achieved.
Typical configurations: six-unit plus terraced townhouses or apartments in a block with a mixture of size and layout.
What changes from a multi-unit job.
Phase 01 — Yield optimisation
How many units the site will suit under current zoning, or explore greater density through resource consent.
Phase 02 — Resource consent
Discretionary or non-complying activity. Pre-app, urban design panel where required.
Phase 03 — Services and civils
Stormwater, wastewater capacity, vehicle crossings, driveway sealing, retaining.
Phase 04 — Staged build
Programme broken into stages so cashflow tracks with completed units.
Phase 05 — Body corp setup
Titles lodged, body corp rules drafted for title issue before final handover.
Phase 06 — Handover
Per unit, with practical completion notices preceding code of compliance issue.
