We’re here to make housebuilding smoother, faster and less frustrating. After all we’ve got 1.5million homes to build!  

Abel Development Consultants was founded by Adam Greenslade, formerly Senior Management within the UK’s biggest housebuilder, who saw first-hand how much time, money and energy gets wasted on avoidable technical delays.

He set up Abel DC to be the consultancy he always wished he could call – one that solves real problems, takes responsibility, and actually gets things done. As one of our clients said, our knowledge and tenacity is what sets us apart. We have the contacts, the experience and the wherewithal to get the job done, smoothing the way for your successful development. 

Adam has worked at the sharp end of delivery for major housebuilders. He knows the pressure of trying to hit build targets while juggling utilities, infrastructure, approvals, bond issues, land constraints, and every other snag that slows progress. And he knows how to fix them. 

So he’s built a consultancy that gives you real answers, takes responsibility, and delivers results. 

Why we're different 

We're not a box-ticking consultancy. We dig in, talk straight, and make things happen. No matter which team you work in, you'll find us proactive, pragmatic and easy to work with. 

• Real experience: We've worked with national and SME housebuilders, unlocking complex sites and saving clients millions. 

• Direct support: We work as an extension of your team, stepping in where you need us – and stepping back when you don't. 

• Results that matter: Bond reductions. Technical approvals. Legal progress. We don’t just advise, we get it done.
