Our Role
The role of Project Developer has evolved over the past five decades and today has become a key element of project success.
A Project Developer is responsible for project delivery and satisfying multiple stakeholders. As no single entity can be responsible for complex projects, the Project Developer takes responsibility for joining specialized businesses in a consortium and ensuring each member delivers on contracted obligations.
The Development Process
Consortium members today include a complex mix of specialization, each one playing a key role in project delivery:
Initial thematic design, best-use analysis, urbanism, appropriate technologies
Advanced financial modeling, cost-benefit analysis, stakeholder return analysis, financing structure
Design and engineering, including required ESG criteria
Selecting, negotiating, and contracting primary EPC contractors and suppliers
Selecting, negotiating, and contracting facilities managers, product operators, and supply and offtake agreements
Legal counsel for documenting commitments for each stage of development
Execution of a financing plan, including financial counsel, rating agencies and investment banks
Supervision of project management, project accounting, project audit and reporting
Project delivery and initial project operations
Projects that cost $1 billion and more involve substantial complexity. The role of the Project Developer is to weave the development process into a seamless and continuous path toward successful project completion, all while satisfying multiple stakeholders.
