    The Site Problems That Surprise Developers the Most

    What's hiding under your development site can wipe out your margins before you've even poured a slab.The numbers stack up, the design works, the approvals come through. Then construction starts, and that's when the real surprises hit.In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Sashya from our project management team to unpack the site issues that catch developers off guard once the machines are running.You'll hear what really happens when builders hit unknown soil, mislabelled utilities, or rock nobody saw coming. More importantly, you'll learn how experienced developers protect their margins through site-specific contingency, fast decisions, and the relationships that hold projects together when things go sideways.🔥 You'll learn Why soil tests miss what's between boreholes The hidden cost of hitting unexpected rock Why old utility plans lie to builders How to find services before you dig Why contingency must be site-specific The speed rule that saves projects Why relationships decide who survives crises How to react after hitting a service👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:44 What unexpected problems appear once construction starts?05:18 How to calculate contingency for in-ground costs?06:22 How do experienced developers deal with these surprises?📺 Prefer video?

    Why Smart Developers Build in Better Suburbs

    Construction costs don't care what suburb you're in, and that one fact changes everything about where you should build.Most first-time developers pick the cheapest suburb they can find. Lower entry, less risk. But when your build costs barely change and your sale prices drop off a cliff, the "safe" option becomes the most dangerous one.After delivering more than half a billion dollars' worth of projects, the pattern is clear. There's a price floor where profit disappears and you're just hoping the market bails you out.This video breaks down exactly why cheaper doesn't mean safer, how to compare the suburb you're in against the one next door, and when stretching your budget actually puts more money in your pocket.🔥 You'll learn Why build costs stay flat across cheap and expensive suburbs How overcapitalising kills margins in affordable areas The multiplier effect of stepping up one suburb Where the price floor sits and why it matters How to match your build spec to the local buyer The neighbouring suburb comparison that adds six figures Why outer fringe estates rely on hope, not profit When stretching your land budget actually pays off The one decision that separates strong returns from scraping through👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:54 Build Costs Don’t Change by Suburb02:02 Why Better Suburbs Multiply Profit03:18 When a Suburb Gets Too Cheap04:15 Match the Build to the Area05:08 The Next-Suburb-Up Comparison📺 Prefer video?

    Why Developers Lose Control After Signing

    Signing the building contract feels like the finish line. It's actually when most developers lose control of their project.In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Marcus from our project management team to break down what really happens once a building contract is signed and why the work you do before signing decides whether your project runs smoothly or unravels twelve months in.You'll learn the three red flags experienced developers spot during the tender process, how to handle provisional sums and latent conditions without getting burned, and why the cheapest builder quote can quietly cost you six figures in variations down the track. We also cover how to evaluate tenders properly, what to lock down in your scope, and how to keep the build contract in the bottom drawer where it belongs.Whether you're building your first townhouse or your tenth dual occupancy, this episode will change how you approach every builder relationship.🔥In this episode:→ The risks that appear the moment you sign→ Why pre-contract work decides everything→ Three red flags every bad builder shows→ How provisional sums quietly inflate your costs→ Why the cheapest tender often costs the most→ How latent conditions catch developers off guard→ Why your negotiating power dies at signing→ How to compare builder quotes apples for apples👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:43 What risks appear once a building contract is signed?10:57 What warning signs should developers watch for with builders?14:50 How do experienced developers manage builders effectively?📺 Prefer video?

    I Analysed 3 Property Development Sites (Here’s What I Found)

    The thing that kills most development sites isn't the numbers, it's something you can spot before you even open a feasibility.Most people see a big block on realestate.com, get excited, and start spending money before they know if the site can actually work.In this video, I walk you through three random sites across three different councils completely blind, showing you exactly how he assesses a development site in the first two minutes.No spreadsheets. No feasibilities. Just the raw first-pass thinking that decides whether a site is worth another five minutes of your time.You'll see him work through zoning, overlays, orientation, slope, frontage, road noise, crossovers, and the deal-breakers most beginners miss until they've already paid a deposit.If you're scrolling listings right now trying to figure out what's worth a closer look, this is the framework that saves you from chasing the wrong site.🔥 You'll learn The 2-minute filter that kills bad sites fast Why orientation decides your design How slope quietly destroys your build budget Why "too big" is just as bad as too small The overlay that scares experienced developers How to read frontage, depth, and crossovers Why a T-intersection can sink your deal When to cut a site and never look back How new res code changes site selection The difference between a clean site and a trap👇 Chapters00:00 Intro01:10 17 Philip Avenue, Doncaster, VIC 05:38 12 Turkeith Avenue, Herne Hill, VIC09:51 22 Collins Street, Preston, VIC📺 Prefer video?

    Why Most Development Sites Lose You Money

    Two blocks can look identical - but one makes money and the other bleeds it. The difference comes down to a handful of factors most people never check.In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Gav from our site acquisition team to break down what actually makes a development site valuable and why so many sites that look promising end up destroying margins once you dig in.You'll learn the specific site characteristics that save you money before construction even starts, how to match your development strategy to the right location and zoning, and the hidden contract traps and infrastructure signals that can swing a site's value by hundreds of thousands of dollars.Whether you're assessing your first site or sharpening your eye for better deals, this episode will change how you evaluate every opportunity from here on.🔥In this episode: Site traits that reduce costs before you build Why trees can hit you from both ends Zoning versus location - what matters more Matching your strategy to the right buyer Single dwelling and brick covenants Infrastructure plays that boost site value The McKinnon school zone windfall👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:43 What characteristics make a site attractive to developers?03:49 How much does location really matter versus zoning and land size?08:10 What hidden factors can dramatically increase a site’s value?📺 Prefer video?

    This One Decision Determines Your Development Profit

    Most people who lose money in development don't get outplayed by the market.They get beaten by the site they chose to buy.I've watched first-timers walk away profitable because the site did the heavy lifting. And I've watched experienced developers get smashed because emotion drove the buy.Your planner, designer, builder and accountant are each brilliant at their piece. But none of them are looking at the whole picture. That's your job.This is the process we use after delivering $500M+ in projects across Melbourne.🔥 You'll learn Why a bad site can't be rescued by experience The finance and legal foundation most skip How development lending differs from home loans Why the wrong entity structure kills your profit Getting access to sites before they go public How to become an expert in your target suburb The director role you must play on every project Why walking away from a bad site is a win The design call that decides how fast you sell👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:02:38:15 Why the Site Matters00:04:27:20 Get Your Finance Right00:05:58:17 Build Your Team00:07:42:02 Know Your Area00:08:20:24 Your Role00:09:39:05 What to Look for in a Site00:10:12:03 Timing Matters📺 Prefer video?

    The Hidden Costs That Kill Property Developments

    Most development budgets don't blow up all at once, they leak slowly through costs you never saw coming.In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Claire, Head of Projects at Little Fish, who manages development projects every day and sees exactly where budgets fall apart. We break down the four costs beginners consistently underestimate, the two biggest blowouts that destroy margins during construction, and the systems experienced developers use to stay in control.You'll learn how to structure contingency properly across each stage of your project, why variations during construction cost double or triple what they should, and how to lock in your numbers with tight documentation and fixed price contracts before a builder steps on site.Whether you're planning your first dual occupancy or tightening up your next townhouse project, this episode will change how you think about development budgets.🔥In this episode: Four costs beginners consistently underestimate Why holding costs blow out feasibilities Soft costs most developers forget to include Council and authority fees that change mid-project How to spread contingency across project stages Why construction variations cost double or triple The document control system that protects you Why fixed price contracts reduce your risk👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:35 What costs do beginners consistently underestimate?09:11 What are the two or three costs that blow projects out if people don’t plan properly?13:47 What systems do experienced developers use to control costs?📺 Prefer video?

    Why Some Development Projects Make Millions and Others Lose Money

    Two development projects can look almost identical on paper, but one makes a fortune and the other loses money. Here's what actually determines which way it goes.In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Marcus from our project management team, who works across dozens of developments and sees firsthand what separates the winners from the disasters. We break down the four key areas that determine whether a project succeeds or fails, acquisition, feasibility, exit strategy, and relationships, and why getting two out of three right can still save a deal.You'll learn how scope creep during design quietly blows budgets before a builder even starts, why the tender process is where your most important relationships are built, and how staying nimble throughout execution can recover margins when the market moves against you.If you're planning your first development or trying to figure out why your last one underperformed, this episode gives you the framework.🔥In this episode: The four pillars of a successful development How scope creep silently kills budgets Why your exit strategy shapes internal design How to find and vet builders from scratch The tender process as a relationship tool Why two out of three can still work Staying agile when the market shifts Three patterns behind every successful project👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:36 What separates successful developments from failed ones?12:25 Is it the site, the numbers, or the execution?14:52 What patterns have you seen across projects that succeed?📺 Prefer video?

    Why the Best Property Deals Never Hit the Market

    Most people think property developers find profitable sites by scrolling realestate.com or waiting for something good to pop up.The developers who consistently find great sites aren't lucky. They've built systems, relationships, and habits that put them first in line before a property ever gets listed.I break down the four ways developers actually source profitable sites. From building agent relationships that generate off-market deal flow, to approaching landowners directly, to negotiating around development potential so you don't pay more than you should.🔥 You'll learn Why the best sites never get listed How to build agent relationships that pay off What makes agents bring deals to you first How to act on off-market deals fast enough When to approach landowners directly Why agents can broker landowner deals better How to figure out what a vendor really wants The negotiation mistake that inflates your price Why you should understate development potential👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:57 Talking to Agents03:07 Off-Market Deals06:31 Approaching Landowners11:04 Negotiating Development Potential📺 Prefer video?

    The First Thing Developers Look for in a Property Deal

    Most developers waste weeks analysing sites that experienced buyers reject in seconds. Here's exactly how they filter so fast.In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Gav, Head of Site Acquisitions at Little Fish, who reviews hundreds of development sites every week, to break down the exact process experienced developers use to instantly assess whether a property deal is worth pursuing or a complete waste of time.You'll learn the specific red flags that kill a deal before you even open a spreadsheet, how to reverse-engineer your target suburb using free tools like realestate.com.au, and why finding the "no" quickly is more valuable than chasing a maybe. Gav walks through real examples, including a near-perfect McKinnon site that still didn't stack up, to show how the numbers tell the real story.Whether you're just starting out or sharpening your site-finding skills, this episode will change the way you assess every listing you see.🔥In this episode: The first things Gav checks on every site Red flags that trigger an instant pass How trees, slope and shadowing kill deals Reverse-engineering suburbs from your budget Why a "perfect" site can still be overpriced Using free tools to analyse sites from your desk How builder-developers repeat the same formula Why speed matters more than depth early on👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:44 First thing developers analyse05:21 What makes a site worth pursuing09:39 How fast developers assess a deal📺 Prefer video?

    Why Property Investing Feels Impossible Now

    The property strategy that built your parents' wealth now puts you six to eight percent behind before the market even moves.For decades, buying property and waiting was the surest path to wealth in Australia. But higher entry prices, tighter lending, and rising holding costs have quietly changed the equation for today's investors.I break down why buy and hold worked so well for the previous generation and why it's become much harder to scale today. You'll see where investors are getting stuck and the active strategies that create equity instead of waiting for the market to deliver it.Whether you're holding your first investment or trying to build a portfolio, this is the shift worth understanding before your next move.🔥 You'll learn Why buy and hold no longer scales The day-one cost gap most buyers ignore How lending rules now block portfolio growth Why holding costs silently eat returns Active strategies that create equity fast How one property becomes two or more The stamp duty trap slowing your growth What smart investors do differently now👇 Chapters00:00 Intro01:05 Why Buy and Hold Worked So Well Before02:02 What’s Changed04:49 The Shift That’s Happening06:34 Why This Changes Everything07:30 The Real Advantage08:29 The Reality Today📺 Prefer video?

    Why Small Developers Are Beating Property Investors Right Now

    Most investors are bleeding money holding property and don't even realise it. Here's why the smart ones are switching to small development projects instead.In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Claire, Head of Projects at Little Fish, who manages dozens of development projects at any given time. We break down why the traditional buy-and-hold strategy is becoming harder to sustain, what a realistic first development project actually looks like, and the costly mistake that catches almost every beginner off guard.You'll learn why a simple side-by-side dual occupancy is the safest entry point for first-time developers, how to avoid over-capitalising on finishes, and why the hidden cost of time can quietly eat through your entire margin if you're not careful.If you've ever wondered whether small-scale development could outperform your current investment strategy, this is the episode to start with.🔥In this episode: Why buy-and-hold is leaving investors cash-negative How development lets you manufacture your own equity Why a side-by-side dual occ is the ideal first project The stone upgrade trap no one talks about Hidden costs that can quietly add $60k+ to your project Why you should submit to council at 80% happy Treat your project like a business, not your dream home👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:36 Why More Investors Are Choosing Development03:02 The Best First Development Project05:53 The Biggest Mistake First-Time Developers Make📺 Prefer video?

    The 2 Property Paths That Get People Ahead Faster

    Some people wait 15 to 20 years for property to make them wealthy. Others create serious equity in a year or two.Same market. Completely different outcomes.In this video, I break down the two paths people are using to get ahead in property right now, and why understanding the difference can save you years of wasted time, bad decisions, and missed opportunity.This is a practical, real world guide to how wealth is actually being built in today’s market.It's a clear breakdown of how buy and hold really works, where small development can change the game, and what smart investors are doing to use both at the right time.You’ll learn why buy and hold can still be powerful, why it often takes longer than people expect, how development creates equity faster, and what risks come with trying to force growth instead of waiting for it.Whether you’re trying to buy your first investment, build long term wealth, or understand when development makes more sense than holding, this will help you think about property more strategically.🔥 You’ll learn The two main paths people are using to build wealth in property Why buy and hold is simple, but often slower than people think The hidden costs that put investors behind from day one Why some properties grow while others go nowhere How development lets you create value instead of waiting for it The difference between knockdown rebuilds, dual occupancy, subdivision, and townhouses Why forced equity can accelerate your position much faster The risks, moving parts, and mistakes that can kill a project How smart investors use both strategies at different stages👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:36 Path1: Buy and Hold(Passive)01:08 Buy and Hold Advantages01:40 Buy and Hold Risks02:47 Path 2: Property Activation (Active)03:24 Property Activation Advantages04:25 Property Activation Risks04:53 What Successful Investors Do05:32 How to Choose a Strategy📺 Prefer video?

    What Makes a Perfect Development Block? (The 2026 Criteria)

    It’s buying a block that doesn’t actually work.Most people think a “perfect townhouse development site” is about the suburb, the street, or how cheap they can secure it.It’s not.In this video, Peter Kelly breaks down what actually determines whether a townhouse development site stacks up in 2026, and why recent Victorian ResCode changes mean the same block can now produce very different outcomes.This is a practical, real-world guide to assessing development sites properly before you commit.No hype.

    How Victoria’s ResCode Changes Turned 3 Townhouses Into 4

    Victoria’s ResCode rules have changed, and on the right site, the difference is dramatic.Most developers are still assessing sites using old assumptions. But the ResCode Changes Victoria introduced have fundamentally shifted what you can build, especially on corner blocks and front to back sites.In this video, we walk through a real Bayside development in Sandringham and compare two sets of plans on the same land. One application was tracking toward approval for 3 townhouses under the old rules. The redesigned scheme under the new ResCode delivered 4 townhouses at roughly the same size.Same block. Same suburb. Very different feasibility.Peter breaks down exactly what changed and what it means in real dollar terms. From site coverage moving from 50 percent to 62 percent, to reduced setbacks, first floor design efficiencies, and why council responses are becoming more predictable under the updated framework.This is not theory. It is a genuine before and after example from an active project.If you are assessing sites in Victoria in 2026, understanding these ResCode changes properly could materially change your numbers before you buy.🔥 You’ll learn What the ResCode Changes Victoria actually did in practice Why corner sites now stack up differently How increased site coverage affects upstairs design When it makes sense to redesign an approved permit How council processes are shifting under the new rules What these changes mean for feasibility and resale outcomesWhether you are looking at a dual occupancy, townhouses, or your next small scale development, this breakdown will help you assess opportunity with clarity instead of guesswork.👇 Chapters00:00 Intro01:07 Why Corner Sites Just Became More Profitable06:37 Council Process: 3 Townhouses vs 4 Townhouses11:39 Site Coverage Increase (50% → 62%) & What It Means16:08 Front Setbacks Reduced – How It Unlocks Extra Dwellings📺 Prefer video?

    Why Small Developers Keep Winning in These Melbourne Suburbs

    The biggest mistake developers make in Melbourne isn’t picking the wrong block.It’s picking the wrong suburb, without understanding what actually makes it resilient.Most “best suburbs” lists are surface-level. They tell you where to look, but they don’t explain why those suburbs outperform in both rising and slowing markets.In this video, Peter Kelly breaks down the logic behind five Melbourne suburbs we’re actively developing in right now for small property developments in 2026, and more importantly, the framework we use to assess suburb resilience, demand depth, and downside protection.This is a practical, real-world guide to choosing the right suburb for townhouse developments and small-scale projects.No hype. No speculation.

    How to Do a Property Development Feasibility (Step-by-Step)

    Most people think a property development feasibility tells you whether a project will make money.But a proper feasibility does something far more important — it shows you where the numbers work, where they don’t, and which assumptions your entire project relies on.In this step-by-step education video, Peter Kelly walks you through exactly how to do a property development feasibility the right way. Not just plugging numbers into a spreadsheet, but understanding what needs to be included, where people underestimate, and why small errors early can destroy a project later.This is a practical, beginner-friendly breakdown of the full feasibility process used on real development projects — covering land costs, consultant fees, build costs, holding costs, resale values, and how to measure whether a deal is actually worth doing.If your feasibility is wrong, everything that follows is just damage control.

    What I Wish I Knew Before Doing My First Property Development

    Most property developments don’t fail because of one big mistake. They fail because of a series of small costs no one sees coming until it’s already too late.What looks like a great deal on paper can quietly fall apart once the soil, slope, services and planning rules start stacking against you after the site is already locked in.In this episode, Peter Kelly breaks down the hidden costs that kill most property developments and explains why beginners consistently miss them. From soil conditions and land gradient to easements, stormwater, services and planning constraints, this video shows how feasibility slowly erodes when due diligence is rushed or incomplete.This video explains what actually causes developments to blow out, why copying neighbouring projects is dangerous, and how small site differences can carry massive financial consequences.Whether you’re looking at your first development site or already own land, this episode will help you understand where projects go wrong and how to spot problems before they destroy your profit.🔥 You’ll learn The hidden costs most developers miss Why feasibility breaks down after purchase How soil, slope and services impact build costs Why copying neighbours is risky How to assess a site properly before committing👇 Chapters00:00 Intro01:10 Soil Tests01:49 Site Gradient or Slope02:39 Easements03:40 Stormwater & Street-side Services04:40 Neighbourhood Precedence07:02 Why People Miss It08:43 How to Avoid It📺 Prefer video?

    Property Developer Network: Don’t Develop Alone

    Most developers don’t fail because they don’t understand property development. They fail because they try to figure it out on their own.In this video, Peter Kelly explains why developing in isolation is one of the biggest hidden risks in property development and why being part of a real property developer network changes how fast you learn, how early you spot problems, and how confidently you make decisions.Most developers know the theory. Feasibility, town planning, build costs, lending rules. But once you are dealing with councils, consultants, builders, and constantly changing market conditions, theory stops being enough.That is where a property developer network matters.🔥 You'll learn: Why developers fall behind without realising it How small decisions quietly compound into big problems Why real world context beats courses and content What a quality property developer network actually providesPeter breaks down why books, courses, and YouTube videos can teach concepts but cannot show you what is happening right now on the ground. Councils change. Builders shift. Finance tightens. If you are not plugged into other active developers, you are always reacting instead of anticipating.This is why the Little Fish Network exists. Thousands of active developers sharing real projects, real issues, and real lessons as they happen. No hype. No theory. Just what is actually happening in the market.If you are developing or about to start, do not do it alone.👇 Chapters00:00 Intro01:10 Why Most Developers Fall Behind03:27 Why Being Plugged In Matters04:45 The Game Never Stops Moving05:26 The Slowest Way to Learn06:09 The Little Fish Network📺 Prefer video?
