ABOUT STEVEN LONG
I work with developers and contractors to assess the commercial viability of residential schemes before capital is committed. Over the past 20+ years in Quantity Surveying and commercial management, I’ve been involved in projects ranging from £500k to £100m, covering pre-construction, delivery and final account. More recently, my focus has been on development viability and land acquisition — reviewing 70+ residential schemes over the past 4 years, with only a small percentage stacking up at the right level of return. That experience has shaped a clear view: Most schemes don’t fail because of one major issue.They fail because early assumptions are slightly wrong. Build cost optimism.Programme risk.Sales value sensitivity. Individually manageable — combined, they erode margin quickly. Through Seneca Cost Management, I focus on: • Development viability and land appraisals• Pre-construction cost planning• Commercial strategy for residential schemes
