Services
Site Identification
We collaborate closely with our customers to help deliver their acquisition strategy.
In terms of project form, scale, venue, returns, capital intensity, strategic alliances and project length, requirements differ with each client. We assess all of these specifications and give you an insight using our extensive market knowledge. Detailed recommendations are then made to develop a concise and refined acquisitions mandate.
From here, we develop a unique strategy for our clients that best suits them and then implement an approach for site identification and acquisition.
Following mandates being set and the acquisition strategy established, we then commence identifying all available market options. To determine what is available on or off the market that meets your particular requirements, we use our wide-reaching network, market expertise, and strong relationships. Onyx Capital specialises in directly targeting and uncovering further opportunities through properties that are not currently for sale, representing our customers with high standards of confidentiality and discretion.
Due Diligence
With the disposal or purchase of any land or property development sites, it is vital to undertake a range of due diligence checks in order to prevent you encountering any issues or obstacles once you begin the process. These factors influence any project’s commercial success and involve, but are not limited to, considerations such as:
- Risk assessment of intended planning approvals
- Previous/past use of land
- Environmental threats such as floods, forest fires or flora & fauna and restrictions on rivers
- Market risks, supply and demand and market economics
- Main risks of input, such as building or legislative expenses
- Potential impacts on heritage
- Risks of capital/funding
You will benefit from our extensive first-hand experience by allowing us to undertake due diligence, and you will have full access to our consultancy team, saving you both time and money. Following the quantified risks, our feasibility inputs are then considered and refined, so that we can better account for and minimise possible risk in the transaction structure. We can easily provide reliable insights into everything from historical maps, environmental records and geological data, to historical planning information, with a broad variety of research resources and data sources available to us. This ensures more educated decisions can be taken at the early stages of the transaction process.

We help our clients determine the optimum structure of resources while finding the right partners as well.

Development Management
Our development managers play a key role in adding value from the moment a new site is purchased and the business is created. Our team will continue to report on project progress until completion.
Additionally, during many phases of the construction process, such as preparation, development approvals and marketing, we will also help recognise meaningful value-added. This is where our in-depth local business expertise and robust networks combine, to provide a comprehensive list of services that are always focused on ensuring that we maximise the potential of your growth and return.
Our services include:
- Tips for your project vision
- Management of town planning and development approval
- Consultant selection and management

- Marketing strategies, concepts and product placement
- Coordination of the process of sales
- Arrangement of relevant financing for projects
- Reporting of programmes, results and development
- Introduction of strategic project partners
Project Management
Although there are rarely static variables in projects, the goals of efficient project management remain very much the same. To ensure the design brief and financial criteria set by the production management team are met, we coordinate with consultants. Working with us implies total access to years of experience in design and construction. Our on-site management and contract management performance guarantees that the final construction will be of a certain quality that not only meets, but exceeds expectations. Our project management team focuses on the reconciliation of costs, quality monitoring, and scheduling and achievement of programme objectives.
We tailor a selection of the following services to provide the best innovations for our clients:
- Engagement & management of appropriate consultants for projects
- Engagement of quantity surveyors and cost forecasts
- Management of consultants
- Program & PCG management
- Tender & acquisition
- Construction management & supervision
- Settlement & completion
- Managing the liability duration for defects
Joint Ventures
Onyx Capital has carried out and continues to carry out a number of highly successful joint venture projects.
A joint venture project is where we collaborate with a landowner to either develop the property on behalf of the landowner or in partnership with the landowner. It is possible to engage our joint venture partners as much or as little as they want. The way they are organised is part of the key to success of our joint venture projects. We believe in a system that is absolutely fair and equitable to the owner of the land. Using this method, Onyx Capital does not obtain any distribution of the project’s income until the landowner has been paid a negotiated value that was calculated prior to the project’s commencement. In other words, we get paid only after our partner has been paid. In virtually all cases, the most money a landowner can gain by the sale of their property is carried out through a joint venture vehicle.
The explanation is clear. The land of the property owner is ‘written down’ right from the start at a negotiated value and the owner gets to share in the project’s income on top of this. It’s like the old saying, “Have your cake and eat it too”.
An important aspect of all our joint ventures is that the partnership supports and benefits all parties.
We are actively seeking projects for joint ventures. If you feel that you have land that might have the ability to be developed, please contact us to explore your options today.
To recognise the true potential of your property for growth, we take all conversations seriously and confidentially. We welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you today.
Why undertake a joint venture with Onyx Capital?

- Difficult design criteria can make the project challenging
- You may be engaged in business or other operations that need your time
- Some of the industry expertise needed to complete the project may be lacking
- You may have restricted funds to obtain council and other permits
- You may be uncertain about how to quickly and effectively sell the subdivided land
- You may simply want Onyx Capital to run the whole project with their extensive experience to give it the best chance of success.
