OwnerDeveloper ๐Ÿ  Creating Wealth Through Property Is Our Speciality
๐Ÿ† Award Winning Development Firm
(1)

At OwnerDeveloper we see property development differently; weโ€™ve redefined what development potentially could beโ€ฆ In our view, if you are capitalising on a property, being a Reno job, knockdown rebuild, adding a granny flat, or a full-scale higher-density development, etc, we see it as a strategy of property development. We are always keen to understand your individual needs and work with you and apply our unique โ€œwholesale project management strategyโ€ to ensure the best possible outcome for your project. We are comprised of a team of designers, engineers, builders, development experts, and council specialists. All in collaboration to make sure you have the best possible outcome for your project. Itโ€™s this teamโ€™s exact knowledge that helps you through this very specialised process.

๐Ÿšจ THE REAL ESTATE AGENT SAID YOU CAN BUILD 5 TOWNHOUSESโ€ฆ BUT WHAT IF YOU CAN ONLY BUILD 4?! ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Imagine spending $2 MILLION on a block of land, expecting to build five townhouses, only to discover that Council requirements mean you can realistically build four.

That ONE missing townhouse could wipe out a huge chunk of your profit!

Just because a property has favourable zoning doesn't mean the development potential advertised is achievable.

Before buying, have you checked:

โš ๏ธ Setbacks and building restrictions
โš ๏ธ Stormwater drainage and easements
โš ๏ธ Site access and parking requirements
โš ๏ธ Council planning controls
โš ๏ธ Construction costs and development feasibility

Don't spend millions based on someone's promises.

At OwnerDeveloper, we help property investors and developers assess a site's true development potential, identify hidden risks and run the numbers BEFORE committing to a purchase.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ DON'T BUY BASED ON POTENTIAL. BUY BASED ON FACTS.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Would you trust an agent's estimate of how many townhouses you can build, or would you get an independent assessment first?

๐Ÿ—๏ธ WHO'S REALLY LOOKING AFTER YOUR INTERESTS ON SITE?

Construction delays, budget blowouts, poor workmanship and contract disputes can turn a promising development into an expensive headache.

That's where an experienced Superintendent makes the difference.

At OwnerDeveloper, our Superintendent Services provide independent construction oversight, contract administration and project management to help protect your investment from planning through to completion.

โœ… Development & Construction Management
โœ… Early Project Planning & Cost Control
โœ… Construction Supervision & Quality Assurance
โœ… Contract Administration & Dispute Management
โœ… Expert Witness & Building Defect Reports
โœ… Building & Home Warranty Insurance Claims
โœ… Scott Schedules & Quantum Meruit Reports

Our focus is simple:

โฑ๏ธ ON TIME โ€“ Proactively managing progress and minimising delays.

๐Ÿ’ฐ ON BUDGET โ€“ Monitoring costs, variations and financial risks.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ ON QUALITY โ€“ Overseeing workmanship and contractual compliance.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ MINIMISING RISK โ€“ Identifying potential problems before they become costly disputes.

With services available across Australia, we help developers, property owners and construction stakeholders make informed decisions and maintain control of their projects.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ YOUR DA IS APPROVEDโ€ฆ BUT HAVE YOU ACTUALLY MADE ANY MONEY? ๐Ÿ’ฐ

You've spent $100,000 getting Council approval for five townhouses on your $2 million property.

Surely your land is now worth more?

Not necessarily.

A DA approval gives you permission to develop, but it doesn't guarantee the project is financially viable.

If construction costs, finance, consultant fees and other expenses outweigh the potential returns, that approval might add little or no value to your property.

The real question isn't how many dwellings Council will approve. It's whether the development will actually make money.

At OwnerDeveloper, we help property owners and developers assess feasibility, construction costs and potential returns before committing to expensive approvals.

๐Ÿ’ฌ What do you think? Does a DA approval automatically increase a property's value, or is it only valuable when the numbers stack up?

๐Ÿ‘‡ We'd love to hear your thoughts!

๐Ÿ—๏ธ SAVED $300,000 ON YOUR BUILDERโ€ฆ OR MADE A $500,000 MISTAKE?

Two builders quote on the same development:

๐Ÿ’ฐ Builder A: $1.5 million
๐Ÿ’ฐ Builder B: $1.8 million

Which one would you choose?

The cheaper quote might look like an obvious saving, but what happens when exclusions, variations, delays and unexpected costs start adding up?

A cheaper quote doesn't always mean a cheaper project.

And paying more doesn't necessarily guarantee a better outcome either.

Before selecting a builder, it's important to compare the actual scope of works, contract conditions, provisional sums, experience and financial capacity to deliver.

At OwnerDeveloper, we help property developers assess tenders, identify potential risks and make informed decisions before committing to construction.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Builders and developers, what's your experience? Have you ever seen a cheaper quote turn into a more expensive project?

We'd love to hear both sides in the comments.

๐Ÿก CAN WE REALLY BUILD AFFORDABLE HOMES WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON QUALITY?

With housing affordability becoming an increasing challenge across Australia, it's a question worth asking.

At OwnerDeveloper, one of our largest development ventures involves hundreds of Torrens Title homes in Springfield Lakes, Queensland, approximately 33 km southwest of Brisbane.

Our goal was simple: design contemporary, practical homes that could be built for under $200,000 each.

After years of refining the designs, we focused on making every square metre count, with open-plan living, natural light, modern finishes and flexibility for future extensions.

Positioned on elevated sites, many of these homes also enjoy beautiful views across the surrounding neighbourhood.

The under-$200K target relates to construction costs, rather than the total house-and-land price.

We believe affordable housing doesn't have to mean sacrificing good design or quality. It means finding smarter ways to build.

๐Ÿ’ฌ What do you think Australia needs more of โ€” smaller, affordable homes or larger family homes on smaller blocks?

We'd love to hear your thoughts.

๐Ÿก $500,000 PROFIT ON A PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT. WOULD YOU CALL THAT A SUCCESS?

It sounds like a fantastic return, doesn't it?

But what if I told you it cost $5 million and took two years to achieve?

That's just 10% profit on cost, assuming all expenses have been accounted for.

This is where some property development courses get it wrong. They focus on the big profit figures without explaining the risks, hidden costs and financial realities behind them.

At OwnerDeveloper, we generally aim for a minimum 20% profit on cost when assessing development opportunities.

Because making money and making a worthwhile investment are two very different things.

Before celebrating a profit, you need to understand your finance costs, construction risks, holding costs and the amount of capital you've committed.

A successful development isn't measured by how much money you make, but by the return you achieve relative to the cost and risk.

๐Ÿ’ฌ What do you think? Would you invest $5 million and commit two years to make $500,000?

We'd love to hear your perspective in the comments.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ YOUR BUILDING PROJECT IS RUNNING LATE. BUT WHO'S PAYING FOR IT?

A construction delay doesn't just push back your completion date. It can cost property developers thousands of dollars in lost profit.

Imagine building five townhouses. The driveways are finished, landscaping is underway, and you're almost ready to hand over.

Then you discover an essential underground service hasn't been connected.

The driveway needs to be dug up, trades have to return, and completion is delayed.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Here's what a delay could cost you:

On a $3 million outstanding loan at 9% interest:

โ€ข 1 month delay: $22,500
โ€ข 2 months delay: $45,000
โ€ข 3 months delay: $67,500

And that's just the interest, assuming the loan balance remains unchanged!

This is why proper construction planning, sequencing and independent oversight are so important.

At OwnerDeveloper, our Superintendent services help developers monitor construction progress, identify potential delays and manage contractual matters before they become costly disputes.

Your builder is responsible for managing construction. But who's keeping an eye on your investment?

๐Ÿ’ฌ Here's a question for builders and developers:

If poor construction planning causes a three-month delay, should the builder be responsible for the developer's additional holding costs, or is that simply part of the risk of property development?

We'd be interested to hear both sides.

Being recognised among outstanding small businesses from across Australia is an incredible honour and an important milestone in our journey.

But for us, this recognition is about more than an award.

It's about the years of hard work, dedication and commitment we've invested in helping property owners, investors and developers make smarter decisions and achieve better outcomes.

Property development isn't always straightforward.

Behind every successful project are countless decisions, challenges, negotiations and risks that need to be carefully managed.

At OwnerDeveloper, we've built our business around helping clients navigate those complexities โ€” from identifying development opportunities and assessing feasibility to securing approvals, managing consultants and overseeing construction.

Our philosophy has always been simple:

We don't just help people build properties. We help them protect their investments, manage risks and create long-term value.

This national recognition reinforces our commitment to delivering professional, independent and practical property development services.

๐Ÿ™ A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN PART OF OUR JOURNEY.

To our clients who have trusted us with their projects, our consultants and industry partners who work alongside us, and our dedicated team โ€” thank you for your continued support.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ The success of a property development can be decided before you even buy the site.
A property might look like a great opportunity โ€” but what does the zoning, development potential, market demand and feasibility actually tell you?

At OwnerDeveloper, our Acquisition & Site Sourcing service is about finding opportunities with genuine development potential โ€” and understanding the risks before you commit your capital.

We can assist with:
โœ… Market research & analysis
โœ… Development feasibility studies
โœ… Zoning & regulatory advice
โœ… Site acquisition strategy
โœ… Due diligence & risk assessment

Because the goal isnโ€™t simply to find a property.

Itโ€™s to find the right site, for the right development, at the right numbers.
