A timeline is more than a row of dates. It is a map of dependencies, decisions and cash flow. Build it around project-specific advice and update it as approvals, procurement and delivery evolve.
Acquisition and due diligence
Allow enough time to investigate planning, title, physical constraints, market, concept, finance and feasibility before the relevant contract deadlines.
Design, approvals and finance
Concept development, consultant coordination, applications, authority responses, documentation, valuation and funding can overlap, but they depend on one another.
Procurement, construction and exit
Tendering, contracts, mobilisation, construction, certification, defects, marketing and settlement each need realistic allowances. Include decision gates and contingency rather than a single best-case date.
