Absolute layman needs a bit of info on the industry for movie script
I'm writing a script for a film set in the north of the UK. The focus of the script is a man from the company in charge of 'redevelopment' of a local council estate (public housing neighbourhood). The real fibre of the story is the man's search for a daughter he lost touch with years earlier, but the reason he's gone there is to do with some kind of work for the company in finalising the redevelopment plans before the destruction and redevelopment of the area begins.

My problem here is that my knowledge of the real estate/ property development industry is limited, yet I need to go into some sort of detail concerning the man's job to make it more believable. Essentially I need him to be in a job that satisfies the following:

* Would have him directly involved with the redevelopment of an area in some way
* Would have him spend at least a couple of days with an overnight stay in the area/ near the area to be developed, before development begins but after all the paperwork has been signed, residents informed etc.
* Would be accompanied by at least one other colleague for at least a couple of hours

If anyone could give any ideas of the job this guy could be in, and ideas of his typical duties and processes (or where to find information about them), it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks.
