Purpose: This study is formed in order to evaluate what limitations there are in the early construction development process. The study is conducted at a Swedish construction company. To define the work, three research questions have been asked:   <ol type="1">How does the early planning affect the future development of apartment projects How does the collaboration between different actors work in the early development of housing projects? How are resources utilized during early development? Methodology: The study has been completed using a qualitative approach in order to investigate the limitations. Semi structured interviews have been the main data source, combined with observations and internal documentation. The study has been conducted in a Swedish construction company's department within their in-house apartment projects. Findings: This report indicated that the municipality places demands on contractors, which may lead to limitations in flexibility for further development. It also indicated that the resources in the first stage are limited and the relationship between the contractor and real estate agency are weak.
