INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
The Real Value of a Quantity Surveyor! Quancept Consulting Services (Rikash Buddu)

Ever looked at your project budget and thought, “I don’t need a Quantity Surveyor, I’ve got this covered”?

That’s what most first-time and even seasoned developers think… right up until the numbers blow out, the bank starts asking awkward questions, or the builder hits you with variations you didn’t see coming.

Here’s the truth: skipping a QS can cost you far more than hiring one. Without independent cost advice, feasibility checks, and risk management reports, you’re flying blind, and the smallest mistake can turn a good deal into a financial headache.

This month’s, Industry Expert Rikash Buddu from Quancept Consulting Services will show you:

· How a Quantity Surveyor adds value at every stage of your project
· How to assist with a pre-contract feasibility
· How to budget through to post-contract
· How financier reporting work
· Variation assessments work
· Depreciation reports can help you with a tax deduction on your property

He’ll break down how the right advice can de-risk your project, keep lenders happy, and protect your profit.

If you’ve ever wondered “Do I really need a QS?” This is the session that will answer it once and for all. Come along and discover how having the right numbers, at the right time, can make or break your development.

INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
6 lot Subdivision (Elena Marchetti)
4ha, Nerang, Gold Coast, Queensland

Ever felt like your DA was cruising along nicely… until it wasn’t?
One small change and suddenly you’re stuck with spiralling costs, delays you didn’t see coming, and contractors who make you want to pull your hair out. It’s the kind of stuff that keeps everyday developers awake at night, wondering how quickly a good deal can start to unravel.

This month’s Real Deal speaker, Elena Marchetti, has been there. What looked like a straightforward project soon turned into a juggling act of extra costs and frustrating hold-ups. But instead of sinking under the pressure, Elena found a way to steer the deal back on course and came out with a result that beat even her own expectations.

At this session, Elena will reveal how she:

• Navigated DA changes without blowing out the timeline
• Tackled unexpected cost escalations head-on
• Held her contractors accountable when delays crept in
• Found ways to rein in earthworks and roadworks costs

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay cool when things go sideways, protect your profits, and keep a project moving despite the roadblocks, this is one Real Deal you don’t want to miss. Elena’s lessons could save you thousands on your next development.

See you all soon!
