Investment sector / Zimbabwe
Construction & property
Start with the right to develop and a clear use for the property. Housing, commercial premises and construction opportunities need an evidenced market, serviceable land and a deliverable project structure.
The enterprise perspective
Where value
can be created.
- Housing and residential development
- Commercial and mixed-use property
- Student and workforce accommodation
- Industrial premises and serviced land
- Construction services and building systems
A useful starting point
Build the case,
one question at a time.
Bring the information you have. Unknowns become preparation tasks; they do not automatically prevent an initial conversation.
- Who owns or controls the site, and is the proposed use consistent with its rights and planning position?
- Who is the buyer, tenant or commissioning client, and what supports demand?
- What access, water, sewerage, power and other servicing work is necessary?
- What design, approvals, cost and contracting work remains before construction can be financed?
Evidence to prepare
Make the proposition
possible to assess.
Describe what exists, its source and date, and what still needs confirmation. Sensitive records should follow an agreed private sharing process.
- Available title or lease, site plan, development mandate and known encumbrances or competing claims.
- Planning and building correspondence, surveys, design concept and available geotechnical or servicing information.
- Market or occupancy evidence, cost plan, phasing, proposed procurement method and competent delivery team.
- Funding request, sponsor contribution, revenue assumptions and the studies or permissions that remain outstanding.
A provincial perspective

Bring an opportunity.
Or a clear mandate.
