Streamlined Builds, On‑Time Completions! Greystone Developments (Chris Wratten)
Let’s be honest as developers, we all know the build phase can make or break a project. You’ve done the hard yards finding the site, getting the DA, securing funding… only for things to grind to a halt once the builder steps in. Suddenly, delays creep in, costs blow out, and communication breaks down leaving you stressed, cash-strapped, and wondering where it all went wrong.
Since COVID, the fear of builders going under has only added fuel to the fire. So how can you, as a developer, avoid those horror stories and actually keep your project on track from start to finish?
This month, we’ve got Chris from Greystone, a seasoned builder and Managing Director with over 15 years in residential and commercial construction, here to show you exactly how to do it. Chris will share insider strategies to streamline the build process, eliminate bottlenecks, and keep every stakeholder accountable from consultants to tradies.
You’ll learn how to:
• Identify where projects typically get stuck and how to fix it before it costs you money
• Build a high-performing team that works in sync toward one clear goal Coordinate consultants and manage the critical path like a pro
• Create a roadmap that keeps everyone — including your builder — accountable until completion
• Spot and fix bottlenecks before they stall your program
• Build the right team with clear accountability
• Keep design, approvals, and procurement on track
Join us as Chris lifts the curtain on what really goes on behind the scenes of a well-run build and how you, as a developer, can take control to deliver faster, smoother, and more profitable projects.

'Real Deal' Presentation
1 into 3 Townhouse Subdivision (Bunawat Thepabutra)
1,100m2, GRZ1, Mont Albert North, Victoria
Some deals are won long before the first brick is laid and this one proves it!
When most developers saw competition and risk, Bunawat Thepabutra saw opportunity. At a high-stakes auction, he secured a prime development site well below market value, using minimal cash and walking away with plans and permits ready to go.
But like every project, the real test came after the win. Tough builder payment terms and tight bank conditions could have easily brought progress to a halt. Instead, Bunawat used creative finance strategies and clever negotiation to keep his project alive, turning a good deal into a great result.
At this month’s Meetup, Bunawat will reveal:
• How he bought below market value with limited funds
• The finance hacks that helped him control the deal
• How he overcame builder and bank roadblocks
• The key lessons that helped him grow from small flips to a $12M pipeline
If you’ve ever wondered how to make your money work harder and how to stay in control when the banks and builders push back this is one Real Deal you won’t want to miss!
