From first decisions
to opening day.
Hospitality and commercial project advice, from premises assessment and fitout planning to contractor selection and delivery.
Every great space starts with better decisions.
The premises you choose, the design you approve and the contractor you appoint shape your budget and programme long before construction starts. Cedrus helps clients understand the real costs, coordinate the design, and manage delivery so those early decisions are made clearly.
Decisions made early — often under time pressure — are the most expensive to unwind. Practical construction knowledge brought to those decisions is where the value is.
A complete path from first decisions to opening.
Pre-Lease & Fitout Cost Review
Examine proposed premises and leasing documents for construction, cost and delivery risk before you commit.
02Fitout Feasibility & Cost Planning
Test the brief against a realistic budget and programme before design goes too far.
03Design & Approvals Coordination
Coordinate designers, consultants and approvals so the package is buildable and compliant.
04Tender Review & Contractor Selection
Compare tenders on a consistent basis and recommend a contractor suited to the work.
05Client-Side Project Management
Represent your interest through construction, decisions and handover to opening day.
06Refurbishment & Multi-Site Rollouts
Repeatable briefs and coordinated delivery across single refurbishments and multi-site programmes.
A clearer plan for project funding.
We prepare realistic project budgets and supporting information, and can coordinate with your finance professional from early planning through delivery. Finance assessment and applications stay with your lender or broker — we're not a lender, and we don't recommend loan products.

Construction experience behind every recommendation.
Cedrus Advisory is led by Simon — an experienced construction project manager, licensed NSW builder and former partner in a commercial fitout business. He holds a degree in Construction Project Management from UTS and has worked across hospitality and commercial fitouts.
That practical background informs every assessment, cost plan and delivery recommendation. Simon remains directly involved in each engagement — grounded in what it actually takes to build, not just what it takes to design.
