Project Consultancy

What Is Project Consultancy?

Guidance For Two Kinds Of Property Journeys

In real estate, "project consultancy" covers two related but distinct disciplines: helping an individual investor through the journey of buying a specific property, and helping a landowner or developer through the journey of actually delivering one. Vidu works across both — as a buyer's project consultant for Sri Lankan clients investing abroad, and as a development consultant for clients building on land they already hold.

For Investors

Cross-Border Investment Consultancy

For Sri Lankan clients looking to buy in Australia or Dubai, the hardest part usually isn't finding a property — it's everything around it: which developer to trust, what the paperwork actually means, and who to call when something needs sorting out from thousands of kilometres away. Vidu manages that entire journey directly, drawing on her own licensing across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and her network of vetted developers in Dubai.

Sourcing & Selection

Shortlisting vetted developments and off-plan projects in Australia or Dubai matched to the client's budget, goals and timeline.

Due Diligence & Compliance

Reviewing developer track record, contracts and title, and coordinating the foreign-buyer approvals each country requires (e.g. FIRB in Australia, DLD registration in Dubai).

Settlement & Ongoing Support

Coordinating final payments, settlement and handover, then staying on as the local point of contact for rental setup and portfolio check-ins.

For Landowners & Developers

Development & Land Consultancy

For clients who already hold land and want to build — a subdivision, an apartment complex, or a multi-storey residential or mixed-use building — Vidu coordinates the planning and approvals process from concept through to construction, working alongside architects, planners and the relevant authorities so the project moves forward without stalling on paperwork.

Feasibility & Design

Site assessment and coordination with architects on building drafts and design — sized to what the land and the local plan will actually support.

Planning & Clearances

Coordinating subdivision and building approvals with the relevant local authority and Urban Development Authority in Sri Lanka, or council development approval in Australia.

Contractor & Project Oversight

Helping shortlist and vet contractors and builders, then staying involved through construction to keep the project accountable to plan and budget.

Process

How A Consultancy Engagement Works

Consultation

Understanding the client's goals, budget and timeline — whether that's an overseas purchase or a development on land they already own.

2

Strategy & Proposal

A clear plan setting out the recommended approach, the parties involved, and the approvals or paperwork the project will need.

3

Execution & Coordination

Vidu coordinates directly with developers, authorities, agents or contractors, keeping the client updated at each stage.

4

Completion & Handover

From settlement and key handover to a completed structure ready for occupancy — with ongoing support after.
