Most developers blame the builder when a project runs late. But the delay was usually locked in months before anyone stepped on site.
In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Claire from our project management team who runs development projects day to day and deals with timelines, contractors and approvals constantly, to unpack what actually causes projects to run late, which stages are most vulnerable, and how to keep things moving.
You'll learn why most delays are inside your control, how the months you spend at your desk before each stage decide your timeline, and why the cheapest builder almost always costs you more at the other end. We also break down the res code and VicSmart traps, the Melbourne Water queue you can't skip, and the design block that quietly eats three months.
Whether you're planning a dual occupancy, a townhouse project or your first development, this one will help you stack the odds in your favour before you ever hand over control.
