Our latest episode explores the growing importance of Development Management in the UK property development sector. Host Parul Scampion speaks with Danny Wittenberg, Head of Development at Fruition Properties, and special guest Andy Duffy from Zerum about why development management has become more critical in recent years.

Covering increasing regulations, financial risks, and the need for experienced professionals to navigate complex projects, they discuss how many developers, particularly those from overseas, struggle with UK-specific regulations; often underestimating project costs and risks and how Development Managers like Fruition Properties can help mitigate these risks and in many instances, step in to save a distressed project by adding value, securing better procurement terms, and cutting overall costs along the way.

In this episode of our series "Why Don't We Build More Houses?", Parul talks to Helen Fewster from Suna Interior Design and Monica Khiroya, Fruition Properties' Product and Marketing Director about all things interiors and the intricate balance of designing homes with both the end customer and developer needs in mind. We discuss how to create unique, high-quality interiors that appeal to specific markets, incorporating practical elements like flow and functionality from the early planning stages and touch on how design practices have evolved, particularly in response to the pandemic, with the need for flexible work-from-home spaces.

The episode also highlights the role of sustainability in design, including the use of energy-efficient appliances and materials, and the importance of reusing and recycling furnishings in show homes across developments through Suna's Circular Design Service.
