A developer is responsible for overseeing the entire development process of the project right from the initial planning and design to the completion of the project. This includes site selection, land acquisition, financing and management of the entire construction process.
Developers work along with engineers, architects, contractors and other professionals to chalk out a plan for the construction project.

Plus they have to comply with building codes, safety standards and local governmental regulations at all stages of the project’s execution.
Once a site gets selected, developers start to work on securing the financing for the project, including obtaining loans, utilizing financial tools and securing the investors. They oversee the construction process, work closely with the contractors and the subcontractors ensuring that the project gets completed on time and within budget.
Throughout the construction development process, developers need to manage all stakeholders who are involved in the project, like the government officials, the client and the community members. They need strong communication and negotiation skills too.
