ONE – Getting Started

The first step in the residential property development process involves the initial research on your existing block of land or established house site that has development potential for an additional or multiple dwellings.

At this stage, it is important to have an understanding of your borrowing capacity and what you should be looking out for. Our team of industry professionals can coordinate the entire process and advise you on the project’s viability. We can provide project costs and advice on how best to maximise your development project with a complimentary Project Feasibility Audit. In addition, we will listen to your investment aspirations and goals, and then work with you to plan your development project to achieve them.

TWO – Approvals and permits

If you’re happy with our recommendations and have made all the decisions to start, we will conduct a site inspection to assess your land and its surroundings and organise a survey and engineer's report if necessary to fully understand and determine the various elements of your block.

We will then prepare concept plans that fit in with the relevant state planning codes according to your area as well as the local council’s development guideline, and leverage our extensive knowledge of R-Codes and local planning policy to maximise the return on your investment. We will arrange for your planning approval, building licence and water applications before we proceed to site.

THREE – Pre-start & Colour Selection

In order for us to move your development project through the initial selection process in the most efficient time possible, we will set up a series of meetings which will involve you throughout the whole decision making process with the best people in the industry. We will go through your plans with you in fine detail to ensure any final, non structural amendments are made including changes to your electrical plan and changes to fixtures and fittings.

A list of selections will be also carried out in consultation with our Interior Designer to select tiles and cabinetry colours for your kitchen, bathrooms and laundry, interior and exterior colours and any feature materials specified.

FOUR – Construction

Finally we get to the most exciting aspect of the process where we get on site to build your project as you see all of your hard work coming to fruition. This stage can last anywhere between six and twelve months, depending on the size of the project. Our experienced team will provide you with regular progress updates and complete peace of mind that your development project will be quality built and will be built within the time frame specified.

FIVE – Handover

Upon completion, we will hand you the keys to your brand new development project! Whether you sell, rent or live in your new development, we assure you that you will find complete peace of mind when choosing to build with Switch Develop.
