Initial conversation
Usually 1–2 weeksWe discuss your goals, budget, property, timing and the work you want done. We review what information is already available.
Typical documents: site details, existing plans and your project brief.
Wealthbuilt / How projects move forward
From first conversation
to finished project.
A clear path helps everyone know what happens next. Select the kind of project you have in mind to see the stages, typical paperwork and indicative timing.
Building project
A typical residential construction path. The contract and approvals depend on the property and scope.
02 / 06
Feasibility & scope
Often 2–6 weeksWe explore the build approach, early costs, constraints and scope before you commit to a full construction contract.
Typical documents: concept scope, preliminary estimate and, if paid investigations or design work are commissioned, a separate written services agreement.
03 / 06
Design & approvals
Often 2–6+ monthsThe design team develops drawings and obtains the approvals required for the particular job, such as a CDC or DA and a construction certificate where applicable.
Typical documents: consultant appointments, drawings, engineering, specifications and approval documents.
04 / 06
Contract & prestart
Often 2–4 weeks after approvalsWe settle the final scope, price, inclusions, payment stages and start conditions. The correct construction contract and any required insurance are in place before work begins.
Typical documents: signed residential building contract, plans and specifications, payment schedule, and home building compensation certificate where required.
05 / 06
Construction
Often 6–12+ months for a major buildWork progresses through site preparation, structure, services, finishes and inspections. We keep the program and decisions visible as the build moves forward.
Typical documents: progress claims, inspection records and written variations if the agreed scope changes.
06 / 06
Completion & handover
Often 2–4 weeksFinal inspections, outstanding items and handover documentation are completed. An occupation certificate is obtained where required before the new building is occupied.
Typical documents: final certificates, warranties, manuals, keys and a handover record.
Property owner partnership
For an owner exploring development potential while retaining an interest in the property. The structure is designed for the individual deal.
The owner’s perspective
Your land could do more than sell as it stands.
A partnership lets us test whether developing together may create more value. The first step is an honest feasibility review: if the numbers do not work for both sides, we say so.
Why owners consider it
What to weigh up
Potential share of development upside
Rather than accept an as-is sale price, you may share in the completed project’s net outcome under an agreed formula.
Return is uncertain
Sale prices, construction costs, finance, tax and delays affect the final result. A higher return is never guaranteed.
Put the site’s potential to work
Your existing property is a meaningful contribution to a project that may unlock a different use or higher value.
Your property and equity carry risk
Depending on the structure, the land may support borrowing or other obligations. Security and liability must be understood before signing.
Share the delivery workload
We can coordinate the project team, approvals and construction under clearly defined responsibilities.
More decisions and a longer horizon
Approvals and a build take time. The agreement needs clear decision rights, reporting and an exit plan if circumstances change.
Agree the deal before the build
We model costs and discuss ownership, funding and the profit split before a project commitment.
Independent advice matters
Each owner should have their own lawyer, accountant and finance adviser review the proposed structure and tax treatment.
Illustrative only. The arrangement and risk allocation depend on the site and signed agreement. See borrowing risk guidance and ATO property tax guidance.
01 / 06
Explore the opportunity
Usually 1–2 weeksWe discuss the site, your objectives and whether there may be a sensible development opportunity worth investigating.
Typical documents: title and property details, any existing plans and an initial brief.
02 / 06
Feasibility & due diligence
Often 4–8 weeksWe review planning potential, likely costs, funding, market assumptions and key risks. Specialist advice informs the decision to proceed.
Typical documents: feasibility study, consultant reports and a written agreement for any paid investigation work.
03 / 06
Agree the structure
Often 4–12+ weeksBoth sides take independent legal and financial advice. The agreement sets out ownership, funding, decisions, responsibilities, profit share and what happens if the project changes or ends.
Typical documents: lawyer-prepared development or joint venture agreement, funding documents and any required land or security arrangements.
04 / 06
Design & approvals
Often 3–9+ monthsThe team develops the scheme, confirms the budget and seeks the approvals needed for the agreed development.
Typical documents: drawings, consultant agreements, approval documents and updated project budget.
05 / 06
Build & monitor
Often 6–12+ monthsThe construction phase follows the agreed scope, approvals, program and reporting process.
Typical documents: construction contract, insurance, progress reporting and written variations where needed.
06 / 06
Complete & realise value
Timing depends on the agreed exitAfter completion and any required certification, the parties follow the agreed plan for holding, selling or otherwise realising the completed project.
Typical documents: handover certificates, settlement or leasing documents and the agreed final accounts.
