INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Conflict-Proof Your Next Development Deal - William Pryor ADR (William Pryor)

Every mum and dad developer goes into a project thinking,
“This one will run smoothly.”

Until it doesn’t.

A builder variation blows out. A payment claim gets disputed. Communication breaks down.

And before you know it… you’re in a dispute that’s draining time, money and energy.

Here’s the real problem.

Most developers don’t recognise they’re heading towards a dispute until it’s already escalated.

They let it fester. They avoid the hard conversation.

And small issues turn into expensive, cascading problems that can wipe out profit.

At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Industry Expert William Pryor from William Pryor ADR is going to show you how to stay in control.
William will cover:
• How to recognise the early warning signs that you’re heading towards a dispute
• The dispute resolution options available to you and when to use them
• The management tools you should have in place to avoid or minimise conflict
• How to choose the right resolution method (so you don’t make the situation worse)
• How to ensure your construction contracts contain clear, enforceable dispute resolution clauses before you ever start the build

Because choosing the wrong pathway can cost you tens of thousands and months of delay.

The biggest mistake developers make.

They let disputes drag on without structure. No clear process. No clear clauses. No clear strategy.

If you’re serious about protecting your margins, your timeline and your sanity, you won’t want to miss this session.

Because in property development, “it’s not …if challenges arise… It’s…. how well prepared you are to handle them".

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!
