Property Developer Podcast

Property entrepreneur Matt Jones, from the Property Resource Shop, has an interesting story to tell about how he ended up doing developments. He has trodden the well worn path of renovations to subdivisions, but along the way he has set up his own property network, grown a membership website and been involved with lots of development deals. So much so, that he has taken time out with his family to live in France for a couple of years. Tres Bon!

In our conversation we cover a lot of ground including the importance of your mindset to creating the life that you want, how to stay focused and what you need to do take that developing business of yours to the next level.

I hope the conversation with property entrepreneur Matt Jones, inspires you to think about getting to the point where you can take yourself off to another country for a few years to immerse yourself in the culture and reflect on your success.

I really like how Matt understands his purpose and uses that to guide his decisions, I’d encourage you to do the same.

Lessons for property developers

I took quite a few things out of our discussion, and here are my top 3:

1. Be laser focused about why you are a property developer

This may sound a bit nebulous but it all boils down to why are you doing things. Why do you want to be a developer? Why do you want to deliver successful projects. Is it to spend more time with your family? Buy some freedom? Buy a Ferrari? Whatever is most meaningful to you is what will continue to inspire you each day. You need to find it.

2. Be consistent with your developing effort

I like this idea of consistency. Matt talked about consistently using your time. So if you have 7 hours a week, do 1 hour a day, not all on the weekend.  If you can allocate time every day to do things that will help you get there,

We revisit a discussion with previous guest John Marquez to find how he went at the local planning tribunal. John had a town planning application for 10 units knocked back by council so decided to ask the independent umpire to review the application.

His planning application was refused by the local council following a lot of objections from the neighbours. He then decided to take his case to the local independent planning tribunal, called VCAT, to have it reviewed by an independent and impartial umpire.

The result of the hearing surprised John’s team, and today he shares what happened and the impact of the decision.

This is a really good discussion around what to do when council mucks you around and forces you to change direction.

Lesson learned from a property planning tribunal rejection

I’m very grateful to John for sharing that overview with you, as a lot of people would not be so forthcoming after a loss at a tribunal. As always, there are some good lessons from John’s experiences that we can all learn from. The points I took out of it are:

1. Have a contingency plan in place

Nobody likes to think they are going to lose a hearing or have their application refused, but you need to be prepared for that happening. What is your fallback plan for if that happens. Are you going to head to a tribunal or independent umpire, are you going to change your design, or are you going to exit the project? Maybe it is all three in that order, whatever it is, be ready to put it into play.

2. Hire the best people for the job

This may sound obvious, but when you have your back up against a wall you need to know that you have the very best people around you, helping you. This is where doing good due diligence on your team members before you engage them is so important. Ask around for who the best external town planner is...

Keeping your building team happy and content is critical to ensuring our property development project gets finished on time and within budget. Making sure everyone gets paid on time for the work they have done is a sure fire way to keep construction on track.

Today I speak with the creator of a service that could greatly streamline and improve the efficiency of your development project.

It is a service called progressclaim.com and it basically does what it says on the tin, and that is it electronically manages the monthly progress claim process.

Now I am sure you know how important it is that people get paid for their work, and ensuring the builder and the subbies get paid for work completed is critical to your project 1) getting built , and 2) you staying on good terms with your building team.

I have been going through the monthly task of ensuring the progress claims come in from the builder, get assessed by our architect and then reviewed by our quantity surveyor, and I know there is a lot of mucking about chasing detail, getting forms signed, or making sure spreadsheets are completed correctly, so I know the hassle that is involved. And most of it is done by email or phone calls, with mistakes and confusion so easy to happen. So when I heard about progress claim.com I was really interested in it because it seems to solve a real problem that exists in the building industry.

So I had a really good chat with the CEO of progress claim.com Lincoln Easton, I’m sure you will enjoy it too, and it may be a solution that your team considers to help smooth out the progress claim process.

In this chat we discuss the common issues that come up with progress claims, the impact they have and why it is important to get them right…

It sounds like progressclaim.com sounds like a good solution to a thorny, painful problem. I certainly know that getting the monthly progress claim paperwork and details sorted out is time consuming and at times frustrating.
