What Makes A Great Building Tender! Collaborate Construction (Shane Long)
You’ve secured the site. The numbers look good.
Now it’s time to get building tenders and that’s where many mum-and-dad developers lose control of the deal.
One price is cheap. Another is vague. Another looks professional but hides risks you won’t see until construction is underway.
Missing items, unclear scope and unrealistic allowances don’t just hurt your budget they set you up for delays, disputes and costly variations. Shane works hands-on with small-scale developers and sees the same tender mistakes repeated time and time again
.
At this month’s Meetup, builder Shane Long from Collaborate Construction explains:
• What actually makes a great building tender and why most developers don’t realise they’ve accepted a bad one until it’s too late.
• The key things to look for
• The red flags to avoid
• How to compare tenders properly
If you want to protect your profit, avoid nasty surprises, and start your build with confidence, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
Because a profitable development starts with the right tender not just the lowest price.

Julian Martinez
As a surveyor, he had the opportunity to work alongside numerous developers, gaining experience on projects of all scales from small subdivisions to large multi-stage developments. Over time, he realised that instead of simply surveying other people’s projects, he could start creating his own. This marked the beginning of a steep learning curve. He dedicated time to educating himself, strengthening his weaknesses, and preparing for his first development deal. Starting as an investor and joint-venture partner, he learned from others before eventually taking the leap to lead his own projects and founding JULMA Properties. Today, he gets to be the surveyor of his own developments, literally pegging out the lots he has envisioned bringing a whole new level of passion and energy to his work.
'Real Deal' Presentation
Dual Oc (Julian Martinez)
775 m2, LDR, Capalaba, Queensland
The Stuff No One Warns You About
On paper, the deal looked simple, an existing house, a second dwelling, add value, done.
Then reality hit.
Hidden beneath the house and along the fences were tonnes of heavy rubber rolls awkward, costly, and impossible to ignore. Tight site constraints, design challenges, and a last-minute Energex compliance requirement that made the new driveway unusable added even more pressure.
At this month’s Property Developer Network Meetup, Julian Martinez shares his Real Deal, the lessons you only learn in the trenches.
He’ll cover how he:
• Tackled unexpected site issues
• Navigated tricky design constraints
• Managed late-stage compliance shocks
• Delivered financial and personal goals
• Transformed a tricky property into two quality dwellings with long-term value
If you want the real story behind “looks good on paper” and how to handle the curveballs that come with it, this is a Real Deal you can’t miss.
