Changing the housing matrix
Neo Property Developments was founded by director Adam McDaniel. Neo’s hand-picked team of design and construction specialists leverage their many years of experience to deliver projects all over the South East of England.
Adam McDaniel
Director
During Adam’s almost two decades in the electrical side of the construction industry, he’s worked on a huge range of sites, from smaller multi-unit conversion schemes through to large multiple apartment block projects. This has seen Adam and his team involved in a diverse range of schemes, from upgrading power supplies through to the installation of substations and entire mains electricity networks. But it was his passion for development coupled with his work on the more modest conversion projects that led to him founding Neo.
“I’ve always been interested in property development, and of course I got to live and breathe it as part of my day job. And I could see there was a huge opportunity out there for converting disused commercial buildings and repurposing them into attractive homes. That great combination of being small in scale, re-using an existing structure, and then making use of permitted development rights all makes for quicker, more straightforward projects. Plus of course there’s a huge volume of potential sites – there’s an ever-increasing number of empty commercial and industrial buildings all over the Southeast.”
A key requirement for Neo has always been recruiting the right people. Adam knew that the ability to transform buildings was not a cookie-cutter model and it was critical that Neo’s team has the vision to see not only what’s possible, but also what was cost-effective.
“I was fortunate to have a lot of contacts in the development and construction industry, many of whom I’d worked with first-hand. That made building the team relatively straightforward. And I was adamant from the outset that I not only wanted the best people, but they also had to share my passion and vision for the type of projects that we do.”
Today, Adam works with a broad range of specialists, each of whom brings their individual expertise to Neo’s projects, ensuring that Adam’s vision for converting unloved buildings into desirable new homes can be realised.
