Lewis's Land Banking Due Diligence Guide

Before buying into a newly acquired land precinct under Eco World Development Group, inspect the master plan for infrastructure completion timelines. Verify whether primary access highways, public school sites, and commercial hubs are already under construction or merely tagged as future phases. Request a side-by-side comparison of Eco World Development Group's pricing against adjacent submarket transactions. Both metrics clear the safe threshold: net gearing under 0.40x and unbilled-sales coverage above 1.20x of revenue give this project a low-risk funding base by dev-03's own numeric cutoffs — still confirm the specific project's Schedule G/H delivery date rather than relying on the corporate balance sheet alone.
