Abel Development Consultants helps self-builders and small developers understand the risks hidden in a building plot before they commit. From ground conditions and contamination to flood risk, drainage, utilities, highways and planning constraints, our Technical Reports and Constraints Plans give you the full picture in plain English.

Our own self-build is now underway in Gloucestershire, giving us first-hand experience of the same decisions our clients are making — buying the plot, securing the detailed design, coordinating consultants, discharging conditions, pricing the build and ultimately getting on site.

We’ve spent more than 20 years collectively delivering housing developments, but doing it with our own money and our own home brings a different perspective. We’ll be documenting that journey here.
