Why us?

Previous experiences were frustrating

You’ve done the workshops.
You’ve listened to the ‘experts’.
You relied on only the market to carry you.
But it didn’t get you where you thought it would.
Still, you believe in property.

The issue wasn’t property — it was strategy.

At OIC, we don’t sell hype. We deliver outcomes.
You bring the goal. We bring the game plan.

Together, we make your next move the right one.

I’ve been in finance for over a decade, helping thousands of clients build wealth, but when it came to doing a development for myself I knew I needed the right partner. I had spent years and a lot of money on courses, but real life is different from theory - and that’s where OIC stood out, turning knowledge into real results. Clovia’s expertise goes far beyond design: she understands finance, feasibility, timelines, cost control, and she knows how to navigate every challenge. What I respect most is the integrity - OIC isn’t just building to sell, they are creating homes with long term value for families, which is exactly how I see wealth in finance. For me, working with OIC is more than a service, it’s a partnership - and this project we’re doing together is proof of what’s possible when design, finance and strategy all come together.

We came in with a million ideas for our dream house. Clovia took all of that, really listened to us and turned it into a design that was smart, beautiful and exactly what we wanted. When we saw the 3D renders - the facade, the skylights, the way the spaces flowed - we knew that this is it. Working with her was so easy - she handled everything and we felt in such good hands.

I am a buyer’s agent, but when it came to property development I knew I needed a team I could trust. With Clovia and OIC handling everything, I barely had to lift a finger and it felt just as smooth as the service I try to give my own clients. I had tried courses and even worked with other teams before, but the results were poor. With OIC, the value far outweighs the cost. Their pricing isn’t the cheapest, but you see why — they actually care about quality and create homes people truly want to live in, not quick, low-grade stock. For me, that long-term mindset is what matters most and it’s why I tell anyone starting their first development or building their dream home: find a professional team you can trust. For me, that’s OIC.

Most people think design isn’t worth spending on, but as a builder I know that good design saves money later. With OIC, the drawings are clear and thought through at the start, so the build runs smoothly and there is less wasted time and cost fixing problems. Clovia can be picky on site - but in a good way, because it means fewer mistakes and less risk for me as a builder. She also strikes the right balance between design and budget, choosing materials and details that deliver maximum effect without overspending. To me, that is real value! My advice to anyone building a home is simple: listen to professionals like OIC - it will save you time, money and stress.

FAQ

Is a knockdown rebuild better than keeping part of the existing building?

It depends - and that’s exactly why we always run the numbers first and analyse the area. In some suburbs, keeping part of the structure makes sense, especially when it lowers construction costs. In others, starting fresh delivers a better result and a higher return. We’ve done both, and the right call always comes down to what’s going to perform best based on the site, the exit strategy, the state of the existing building, and your long-term goals. This is why we take due diligence very seriously from day one.

I’ve never developed before — where do I even start?

Start with a free consultation. We’ll break down the whole process in plain English - no jargon, no fluff. We’ll map out your options, your timeline, your budget, and show you exactly what’s possible based on your goals. You bring the dream - we’ll bring the game plan.

How involved do I need to be during the process?

As involved as you want to be. Some clients love the details. Others prefer to hand it over and just get updates. Either way, you stay in control - we just make it effortless. It’s your project, we just run it like a machine.

Can you help me find the right property to develop?

Absolutely. In fact, many buyer’s agents regularly bring us in when their clients are looking at development sites. We don’t just find land - we test its potential. That means chasing off-market leads through our agent network and putting each site through a rigorous feasibility process. If the numbers don’t work - or don’t work well enough - we’ll say so. We don’t guess. We guide based on data and deep analysis.

How long does a typical project take from start to finish?

Most projects take anywhere from 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity, approvals, and construction scope. What matters is having the right strategy, team, and timeline from the start so there are no surprises along the way.

What if I just need help with due diligence before I buy?

No problem. We offer a Due Diligence Service where we assess the area, risks, costs, development potential, planning constraints, etc. — so you don’t buy blind. It’s about protecting your bottom line before chasing the upside.

Can you really offer fixed pricing for development?

Yes — and we believe it’s non-negotiable. Cost blowouts are the biggest risk in development, so we make fixed-price contracts a priority. Because we work with multiple trusted builders and access wholesale rates through long-standing relationships, we’re able to deliver great value. But we don’t just hand it to our mates — we still run competitive tenders to make sure every project gets the best builder for the job at the right price.

Do you only work in certain parts of Sydney?

We operate across Greater Sydney, with a focus on the Inner West, South West, North Shore and key growth corridors. If the numbers work, we’re there.

Do you work with investors or just property owners?

Both. Some of our clients already own a site. Others partner with us to find the right one. We may collaborate with project partners and independent capital providers on a case-by-case basis. We don’t make public investment offers or advertise returns. If you’d like to discuss partnering on a project, please contact us — any participation is by private discussion and documented under separate agreements.

Why should I use a property developer instead of just doing it myself?

A property developer manages every step of the project — from site selection and feasibility to design, approvals, builder negotiation, material logistics, and delivery. That means fewer unknowns, better coordination, and a clearer path to better results. Just as importantly, we make faster, objective decisions based on numbers, not emotions — which protects your budget and accelerates results.

Can’t I just go to a builder and have them build it for me?

You can — but it’s rarely that simple. You’ll still need to organise the design, consultants, council approvals, tendering, handle negotiations, contracts, etc. We handle all of that for you, align everyone toward the same goal, and make sure it all delivers on your bottom line.

I’m nervous about making a mistake — how do you help de-risk the process?

We’ve built our whole model around de-risking. That means due diligence before you commit, fixed pricing where possible, a team that sees around corners, proper project management, risk management, and honest advice that puts your goals first.
