How Consenting Really Works
(and How to De-Risk Your Project)
Why Consenting matters?
For many property owners and developers, consenting feels like a slow, complicated box-ticking exercise. But consenting is more than paperwork — it’s the difference between a project that delivers on time and one that drags on for months.
By front-loading the work and de-risking your project, it helps you move from idea to build faster, with fewer surprises and a stronger return on investment.
the Golden Triangle of Consenting
The Golden Triangle of Consenting is Struc’s way of aligning three crucial elements for project success:
- Client Outcome: What you want to achieve, whether it’s a profitable development, a family home or future flexibility.
- Site Constraints: The physical and legal realities of your property.
- Council Requirements: The rules, risks and opportunities within the consenting process.
Bringing these three points into harmony allows to create an “equilateral triangle” where everything works together seamlessly.
How to de-risk your project?
Start with your goals and work backward, bringing in surveyors, planners and financial partners early to solve problems before they become expensive. Time is money — especially for developers — so focus on getting your project to market faster.
At Struc, we see consenting as the foundation of a successful project. Get it right upfront, and you’ll save months of time, reduce holding costs and keep your budget intact.
