Development Management
For landowners and investors who want the upside of development without running it day to day. We lead the strategy, the team, the planning and the delivery as a developer who has done it, not just a consultant — with our interests aligned to yours.

Who this is for
You own a site with potential but don't want to navigate planning and delivery yourself. We take it on and steer it to a result — sale, or built out.
You want exposure to a residential scheme run by someone who has sat on both sides of a land deal. We lead it; you back it. Terms agreed privately.
What we do
We assess the site, the planning prospects and the numbers — an honest view of what's achievable and what it's worth before anyone commits.
We set the strategy, assemble and run the professional team, and manage the planning application through to the right scheme for the location — a consent that adds real value, not just any consent.
We manage cost, programme and construction through to completion — whether we build it ourselves or hold your chosen contractor to a fixed price. One point of accountability for the whole scheme.
Why Elizabeth Homes
Two decades bringing forward major schemes — and the judgement to keep them viable and deliverable.
Elizabeth Homes was founded by Phil Baily on more than two decades in residential development across London and the South East. Before starting the company, Phil helped bring forward major schemes with two of the country’s most respected residential developers — working across the full spectrum, from small housing developments to large-scale regeneration.
His focus throughout has been the things that actually decide whether a scheme succeeds: acquiring the right sites, securing planning, and keeping projects viable and deliverable from first appraisal through to completion. That experience — understanding how complex schemes are won, funded and delivered, not just how homes are built — is what a landowner or investor gets when Elizabeth Homes manages a scheme.
Bringing forward developments across London and the South East — from small housing schemes to large-scale regeneration across London and the South East.
Identifying and acquiring the right sites, and steering them through planning to a consent that adds real value.
Keeping schemes viable and deliverable — appraisal, cost and programme controlled from day one to completion.
Backed by experienced partners with a marine and civil engineering background, bringing capital and delivery discipline to every project.
Common questions
It's where a developer leads your scheme on your behalf — setting the strategy, assembling and running the professional team, and managing planning, cost and delivery. The difference is who leads it: most development managers are consultants, whereas we're a developer who has actually delivered — so you get the upside of development, led with a developer's judgement, without running it yourself.
In a joint venture we typically invest our own time (and sometimes capital) and share in the outcome. In a pure development-management role we act for you for an agreed fee/structure. We're comfortable with either, and shape it around the project — agreed privately, case by case.
Yes. As well as leading whole schemes, we can act client-side on a single project — pinning down and tendering the specification, and helping you agree and hold a fixed or capped price with your chosen contractor, then controlling cost and programme through delivery. It's development-management discipline applied to a self-build or a one-off home.
It depends on the scope and structure — a management fee, a share of the value created, or a blend. We agree it openly and in writing before any work starts. We don't publish figures here.
Sometimes — on the right scheme we'll put our own time and capital alongside yours so our interests are genuinely aligned. That's a private conversation, not an offer made on this page.
