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 walk you through the OIC Method in plain English — no jargon, no fluff. You’ll understand your options, likely costs, timelines, and what your site can realistically support. You bring the goals — we’ll provide the structure and guide you through the process.
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 through a structured process.
Can you help me find the right property to develop?
Our core focus is helping landowners understand and maximise the potential of a site they already own. In some cases, we may support site assessment before a purchase, working alongside buyer’s agents to test feasibility and development potential. If a site doesn’t stack up, we’ll say so early. Our role is to guide decisions based on data and analysis, not push a deal forward.
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. We review the options so you can make an informed decision and avoid costly mistakes.
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 our long-standing relationships and manufacturer network, 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 and the North Shore and key growth corridors. If the numbers work, we’re there.
Do you work with investors or just property owners?
We primarily work with Sydney landowners who already own a site and want clear guidance on how to make the most of it. Some clients use their own property for development, while others may be considering a second site they already control. We do not offer public investment opportunities or promote speculative returns. Any project partnerships are considered selectively and discussed privately.
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, coordinate the process end to end, and make sure it all supports the right outcome for the site.
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.
