What We Do

We Are a Full-Service Development Management Team

Mission

At InVision Developments, we are committed to our client-centred approach and responsibility to reaching development project goals.

Our mission is to remove confusion and uncertainty from the development process. By providing our knowledge of Architecture, Construction, and Finance, we guide our clients through each step to ensure their project will perform at its highest ability.

Methodology

At InVision Developments, we are committed to our client-centred approach and responsibility to reaching development project goals. We join your team to assist with the planning and execution of your development project.

Collaboration, to us is amalgamating our expertise, approach, method, talents, and visions from the very beginning resulting in optimized owner value.

Why InVision?

Land development can make you large profits and add great value to communities, but can also come with large risks. With us you will have 70 years of combined construction management, financial, and design experience which will help you identify conflicts and opportunities. 

  • At InVision, we understand how important it is to set your development on the right course from the very beginning. 

    Unlike traditional feasibility studies that only consider physical parameters of a site at this early stage, our feasibilities are also reviewed in real time through the cost and financing lens to establish your development’s overall viability early on.

    All of our expertise at the same table at the same time, from start to finish, is what sets InVision apart, and delivers our clients outstanding results. 

  • Have you ever taken two steps forward and one step back? Imagine if you could just take one step forward all the time. This is how you will feel working with our Designers. We develop design concurrently with the schedule, budget and development financing strategies, instead of design as an end-all and be-all ultimate goal, as often is the case with architect-led teams. As a result of this innovative approach to design, your development experience will be transparent, profitable, and without delays caused by last-minute value-engineering and redesign. We get it right the first time.

  • Navigating permitting and approvals is a challenging process. At InVision, we have the necessary expertise to work through various municipalities’ zoning requirements, and give your development the best chances of being approved. We assist you in selecting trusted industry professionals best suited for your specific needs, and continue being your eyes and ears at the collaborative table to ensure these industry professionals remain on track, on schedule, and on budget. We guide you in developing strong working relationships with approving authorities, and help you with strategic approach all the way through to a successful approval and beyond.

  • We merge your project objectives with actual site-specific conditions to transparently create your building design and budgets concurrently with each other.

  • A project that is late is often a project that is over budget. We understand that maintaining a realistic schedule and effective procurement are essential to the success of your development project. That's why we review schedules regularly to ensure that they are kept up-to-date. We have a proven process in place to integrate procurement seamlessly into both the schedule and budget.

  • This lays out the foundation of your project and with clear deliverables and help to identify potential challenges with the help of the entire project team, down to the trades doing the work.

  • Understanding your projects profitability will make the decision-making process clear. At InVision, we will assist you to build a financial model for your development to better support the decision-making process throughout the project.

  • The lending available for development is normally the last step in a projects assessment. Start your development on the right track by having a full understanding of the types of debt available and let us keep a pulse on the ever-changing lending environment. We will not only advise you on what financing options are available at each step of your project, we will also assist your financing professionals from application to funding and how changes to the project will impact finance ability.
