INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Boosting Efficiency In Civil Works! BB Civil (Jan Bodnaruk)

Think your deal stacks up? Think again.

Too many developers get caught out by one of the most misunderstood and underestimated parts of a project: civil construction. You find a cracking site, punch the numbers into a feasibility study, and it almost works... until the real costs come in and your profit margin vanishes.

The biggest killer? Relying on outdated assumptions, ignoring economies of scale, or not knowing when to bring in the civil contractors. And don’t even get us started on lump sum vs provisional sums, that’s a trap waiting to explode your budget.

This month’s Industry Expert Jan Bodnaruk from BB Civil is diving deep into the world of Civil Constructability, demystifying costs, timelines, risks and opportunities at a level every mum-and-dad and even seasoned developer needs to hear.

You’ll discover:
• How delaying your start can accelerate your finish
• The real difference between Lump Sum, Provisional & Prime Costs
• What construction costs to realistically expect
• The 3 biggest risks (and 3 biggest opportunities) at any site
• And the action step you can take right now to avoid blowing your budget
• Why momentum matters more than you think

Whether you’re trying to avoid the common mistakes or finally want to understand what your civil contractor is quoting you, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to stack deals properly and profitably.

If you’re serious about getting your head around the civil side of development, don’t miss this session. It could be the difference between a project that flies… and one that flops.

INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
1 into 55 Lot Subdivision (Jim Valery)

59,921m2, Boondall Brisbane City Council, Queensland

Think you’ve found the perfect site? Think again.

You’ve spotted a site with serious potential… but it’s messy. Multiple owners, tricky negotiations, council red tape, and civil works that make your head spin. Sound familiar?

For most mum-and-dad developers, a deal like that is a hard no. Too risky, too complex, too many unknowns. Blow the budget or get stuck in council and suddenly you’re out of your depth and out of cash.

But this month’s Real Deal speaker Jim Valery saw things differently. With smart negotiation, delayed settlements, and a staged approach to due diligence, he tackled a 55-lot subdivision deal that most wouldn’t touch and walked away with a huge profit… without even turning a shovel.

You’ll hear how he:
· Structured delayed settlements to manage risk
· Negotiated with multiple landowners and got a neighbour on board
· Identified the site’s hidden value
· De-risked a high-stakes project step by step
· Navigated slow council approvals and cost blowouts
· Sold the site with DA for a multimillion-dollar exit

If you want to learn how to break down complex deals, minimise exposure, and walk away with serious profit, this is the Real Deal you can’t afford to miss.
