The MAX. Report

Full potential of a property, assessed. Not through one lens.

The MAX. Report is an independent, architecturally founded pre-purchase assessment prepared for residential buyers considering renovation, extension, alteration or redevelopment.

Your objectives, questions and concerns form the basis of the assessment. The report is not prepared in isolation from your intentions — it is built around them.

Every property presents a different combination of opportunity, constraint and complexity. Depending on the property and the matters being explored, the report may address:

  • Planning controls and approval pathway

  • Existing development approvals and consent conditions

  • Implications of proposed changes to approved schemes

  • Existing buildings, structures and site conditions

  • Capacity for alteration, adaptation, extension and redevelopment

  • Spatial opportunities and design potential

  • Heritage considerations and planning constraints

  • Construction implications and likely project complexity

  • Staging, programme and procurement considerations

  • Consultant requirements

  • Factors likely to influence project costs

The outcome is a professional assessment, not a collection of data, that establishes what a property may realistically support and what constraints may influence its future development, and the likely implications of pursuing different pathways.

For some buyers, this provides greater confidence to proceed.

For others, it reshapes expectations, identifies previously unseen risks, or reveals a more appropriate path forward.

The value of the report is not simply in identifying opportunity. It is in understanding both opportunity and constraint before significant commitments are made.
