Checklist for building a new apartment complex

Account Closed
Posted

Before I start the process of building the apartment complex I need to know who I need to hire and what order is best in hiring them. Do I get the civil engineer first? The architect? Etc.

Could someone please come up with a list or checklist on who I need to hire and when? Many thanks!

@Account Closed It really depends on what stage the property is in.  Do you have it under control?  Is it zoned correctly?  Have you spoken with the municipality it is located in to see what their process is? Have you run a proforma to estimate that it will be a good project.... ETC...

Once those questions are answered and you can provide a little more detail, then you can start the checklist because it will vary on the condition of the property and the city it is located in.

If this is your first development, I would suggest looking for a development partner who has experience in development.  Being a developer myself, I would say if you find a partner that has experience on what you envision that would be a great first step.
