PPC Urban is here to help you perform due diligence on marketability of a given business or development and evaluate a chance of getting town planning proposal. We will gather relevant information to help you make an informed investment decision, from acquiring to developing a site, to commencing a business!
Due diligence is about evaluating what you can do with your land physically, legislatively and economically.
The style and level of detail within our development feasibility studies will be tailored to suit your needs and your budget.
