INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Getting Roads Right in Property Development! DPM Consulting Group (John Mathios)

Your feasibility looks solid until road construction, sewer, stormwater, soil conditions and council bonds start blowing the budget.

This is where many mum-and-dad developers get caught out.
Road networks cost more than expected. Sewer and stormwater requirements change mid-process. Soil conditions add scope and dollars. Then come the bonds, tying up large chunks of cash for far longer than planned.

Miss any of this, and your profit margin quietly disappears.

That’s why you need to hear from John Mathios of DPM Consulting Group.

John works directly with councils and developers on real-world road construction and infrastructure delivery. He’ll break down the actual costs behind:
• Road construction and RD networks
• Sewer and stormwater infrastructure
• Soil risks that impact construction budgets
• Council bonds what they really cost, when they’re paid, and when you get your money back

If you want to budget accurately, protect cash flow, and avoid nasty surprises, this is a session every serious small-scale developer needs to attend.

INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:

5 Townhouses (Sunny Katyal)
1040m2, GZ, Frankston, Victoria

You’ve found a block online, zoned for development and the numbers look great. You think it’ll be smooth sailing until reality hits.

Sunny Katyal this month’s Real deal presenter knows exactly what that feels like when he secured a site in a general residential zone, planning a 5-townhouse project, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Lender delays, a builder going bankrupt, and the challenges of managing a project from a distance. Margins squeezed. Stress levels skyrocketed. What should have been a simple townhouse development turned into a real-world lesson in resilience and problem-solving.

At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Sunny will share the real, unfiltered story of this 5-townhouse project from purchase in 2020 to completion in 2026. You’ll learn:
• How he navigated lender issues without derailing his project
• How he managed builders and contractors to avoid costly setbacks
• How he handled managing his site from a distance
• The hard lessons and practical strategies he learned to keep the townhouse deal profitable

If you’re a mum-and-dad developer wanting to see the reality behind the numbers, avoid rookie mistakes, and learn strategies that actually work, Sunny’s story is not one to be missed.

This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!

See you all soon!
