ABEL - The key to unlocking your next development.

It all begins with an idea.

With early involvement, we streamline development by managing risks and ensuring appropriate measures are in place, no matter how small or large the site.

At Abel, we give developers the support they need to make informed decisions at every stage of the development cycle.

From the moment you discover the piece of land or a marketing pack hits your Land Teams’ desk, we work alongside you to streamline the process, solve problems, and keep momentum up. We work with clients to make calculated decisions, solve live site challenges, and close out projects faster. 

We take away the headaches and remove speedbumps, allowing you to confidently commit to both your business and your buyers.

Risks come with the territory - but we don’t just flag them. We help you understand, plan for, and manage them effectively.

How we help 

Before you buy 
We review technical risks upfront, so you know exactly what you're getting into. Our advice helps you avoid surprises and strengthen your land bids; allowing you to stand by the offers you make. Whether this be a simple high-level summary or detailed technical report.

While you’re building 
We fix the issues that stall sites. From substation legals to section agreements, service diversions, and general live site project management. We understand it all.  

Pass us the baton – we’ll return results.  

At the end of the project 
We support smooth adoptions; we understand the legal proceedings of actually getting things adopted, and we aren’t a Consultant/Contractor that has a vested interest in extensive remedials.  

We use existing relationships with Highway Authorities up and down the country to provide efficient adoptions working with your existing groundworks contractors.  

Legacy sites too – they’re our bag. Simply give us the brief, we’ll do the rest.
