For over 60 years, PDM has developed landmark buildings in Kenya and Uganda. Our internal team has played a crucial role in the successful delivery of these projects. As a result, PDM has become a leading developer in the region, known for its development management, project management, and construction management capabilities.
This success has led us to expand our services. Now, we offer development management, project management, and construction management as new business lines for third-party clients. Consequently, we continue to grow and adapt, meeting the evolving needs of our clients and the industry.
We deliver our developments on time and to the desired quality. In many cases, we complete projects on or under budget. This success stems from our stringent controls throughout the entire project lifecycle—from inception to completion and handover.
PDM developments have won several awards including: The Best Commercial Building by Architectural Association of Kenya – 2013 (The Courtyard), The Best Office Building in Africa by African Property Awards 2018 (Vienna Court). Vienna Court is also the only office building in East Africa to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification, accredited by the United States Green Building Council.
PDM Development Management services provide a comprehensive approach to overseeing real estate development projects from inception to completion. This includes managing funding and other critical aspects.
We focus on delivering successful outcomes by collaborating closely with our clients. Our goal is to ensure that their vision is realized. At the same time, we work to mitigate risks and maximize returns.
PDM’s development managers handle a range of responsibilities to ensure successful project outcomes. First, they identify and acquire suitable sites and inspect new land redevelopment opportunities. They also review and advise on redundant land or property and complete acquisitions. Additionally, our team liaises with local authorities to secure permits and approvals.
Our development managers conduct feasibility analyses and provide essential documents, including the business plan, budget plan, and schedule of works. They oversee progress through the legal, technical, and financial phases of development, ensuring each project stays on track.
Furthermore, we manage overall project delivery, contractor tendering, and design management. Our development managers represent the developer on-site during construction. They work closely with project managers, architects, engineers, designers, contractors, and funders to meet all development specifications.
During construction, our team monitors progress, quality, and cost control closely. They proactively address potential challenges and keep clients informed throughout the process.
Moreover, PDM’s development managers coordinate the marketing, leasing, or sale of the developed properties. They are often responsible for facilities management and post-construction asset management.
Our commitment to excellence continues beyond project completion. We ensure a smooth transition to operational management or the next phase of the development’s lifecycle.
