Off-plan investors usually start with yield and payment plan. In our process, the first structural question is delivery risk: who actually builds, to what standard, and how predictable the path to registration is.
This article describes the framework we use internally. It is not a ranking table of developers, and it is not a recommendation to purchase any specific project.
Dimensions we score
We group evidence into categories that historically correlate with investor outcomes: schedule variance around promised handover, observable quality at completion (common areas and unit finishes), responsiveness on defects, post-handover asset management, and sponsor financial resilience indicators where disclosed.
Weights depend on the investor’s horizon and whether the strategy is hold-to-lease or trade-oriented.
Evidence sources
We combine regulator-adjacent completion data where available, project-level monitoring, channel checks with property managers, and structured comparisons across comparable product classes. No single data point should dominate — especially marketing-driven “100% on-time” claims without definition.
How tiers are used
We may summarise developers into internal tiers for discussion purposes. Tiers express relative confidence in execution, not credit ratings and not endorsements. A higher tier does not make a specific unit fairly priced; a lower tier does not mean “avoid” without pricing the risk.
For sponsor-specific diligence on a live opportunity, engage our advisory team — we provide conflict-free analysis, not sales inventory.
