de Rham & Cie S.A.

Anyone appointing a property developer in Lausanne should first distinguish between property development, new-build marketing and subsequent property management. These activities can be connected, but they are not interchangeable. For de Rham, the supplied sources primarily document the marketing of new residential projects. Prospective clients should therefore establish which development tasks the company would undertake and which would remain with other parties.

For a specific project, a written scope should define responsibilities, deadlines, fees and reporting arrangements. Discussions should cover coordination with design and construction teams, as well as the interfaces between marketing, letting and management. The projects listed in Ecublens and Crissier provide a basis for asking about experience with comparable sizes, uses and target groups. Their inclusion does not establish responsibility for their entire development.

For the documented marketing services, relevant topics include target audiences, marketing channels, campaign budgets and performance monitoring. If letting is also required, application procedures, viewings, handovers and information flows should be agreed. For the digital portals, clients should clarify access rights, document availability and responsibility for responding to enquiries.

The supplied review selection mainly concerns communication during a tenancy or the process leading up to it. It does not replace checking development references, but supports discussing availability and response procedures explicitly. The scope of the advertised legal support should also be clarified before appointment.
