🚧 Submitting a DA? READ THIS FIRST
EP16 – JCE Engineers: What Most People Get Wrong in Development Approvals
Featuring Brendan from JCE Civil

A powerful new episode where Brendan breaks down the biggest mistakes developers make when submitting their Development Application — and how to avoid them.

Here’s what stood out 👇

✅ People rush into design without checking site slope, services, or stormwater
 ✅ Many skip getting the engineer involved early — and it bites them later
 ✅ They submit plans before doing a proper feasibility
 ✅ Underestimating drainage and council requirements costs serious $$$
 ✅ Zoning assumptions lead to bad site layouts and resubmissions
 ✅ DA rejections aren’t always about the idea — they’re about poor prep
 ✅ The engineer isn’t someone you bring in after the fact… they’re part of the strategy

💬 Brendan’s golden quote:
 “If you don’t get the DA process right from the start — you’re not just wasting time… you’re setting yourself up for avoidable pain.”

You can’t afford to mess up this part of the game.
 Watch the full chat and take notes. It’s a masterclass in getting approvals through smarter.
