Common questions about engaging Corlendis.
Practical answers for property owners and developers navigating development, design, tender, construction and project recovery in the Australian property market.
Can Corlendis assist before purchasing a development site?
Yes. Corlendis can help coordinate early development due diligence and feasibility inputs so the client can better understand the likely planning pathway, consultant needs, delivery risks, project costs and next investigations before committing to a site.
Can Corlendis help with early feasibility and development due diligence?
Yes. At the early stage, Corlendis can bring together the available planning, design, market, cost and delivery information, identify major information gaps and help the client test whether the development concept is worth progressing to the next level of investigation.
Can Corlendis coordinate the consultant team through planning and design?
Yes. Corlendis can help establish consultant scopes, coordinate architects, planners, engineers, cost consultants and other project advisers, track design actions and approvals, and keep the team focused on the client’s programme, budget and development objectives.
Can Corlendis assist with tendering and builder selection?
Yes. Support can include preparing the tender process with the consultant team, coordinating tender queries, comparing commercial and programme submissions, identifying qualifications or gaps, assisting with tender interviews and helping the client work through the preferred builder and contract pathway.
Can Corlendis assist with progress claims, variations and extensions of time?
Yes. When Corlendis is appointed to provide these contract administration functions, we can review progress claims, variations and extension-of-time submissions against the contract documents, site progress, project records and supporting information, and provide clear assessments for the client and project team.
Can Corlendis support PCG meetings and construction-stage reporting?
Yes. Corlendis can coordinate or chair regular project control meetings, maintain action and risk visibility, review programme and commercial matters, and prepare practical reporting so the client can see what has changed, what decisions are required and what needs to happen next.
Can Corlendis be engaged only for the construction stage?
Yes. A client does not need to appoint Corlendis for the full development lifecycle. We can step in for a defined construction-stage role, a particular project issue or a broader client-side management appointment, depending on what support is actually needed.
Can Corlendis assist when a project is falling behind programme or variations are increasing?
Yes. Corlendis can independently review the programme, outstanding decisions, consultant and builder coordination, variations, claims, reporting and other pressure points, then help establish a practical recovery plan with clear priorities, responsibilities and follow-up.
Can Corlendis assist with practical completion, defects and handover?
Yes. Corlendis can help coordinate the close-out process, including readiness for practical completion, outstanding information, defects tracking, consultant and builder actions, handover documentation and the final project tasks needed to move from construction into completion.
Does Corlendis provide full project management or individual services?
Both. Clients can engage Corlendis for one defined requirement, one project stage, short-term client-side support or broader project management and development advisory. The scope can be shaped around what the project needs rather than forcing every client into the same package.
Where does Corlendis provide services?
Corlendis is Melbourne-based and supports property and development projects across Melbourne and Victoria. The service approach is suited to owners and developers who want experienced client-side coordination, clearer project visibility and practical support through key development and construction stages.
