The Real Cost of Greenfield Sites! (Precinct Land Consultants) + Duplex (Susannah Su)
Bringing together the collective knowledge & experience of your local community to assist you in progressing on your Property Development journey.
Quok Ho - Precinct Land Consultants
Quok is a Development Advisor who helps developers de-risk projects before a shovel hits the ground. With over 20 years in land development, spanning design engineering, stormwater and WSUD infrastructure, and large scale residential delivery, he built his expertise from the ground up, literally, working across roads, drainage, sewer, water, wetlands and retarding basins on some of Melbourne's biggest estates. For the past 5 years, Quok has worked directly with developers in the earliest and highest risk phase of a project: site assessment, construction feasibility and financial staging. He gives developers clarity on how a project will actually unfold, construction sequencing and cost, before they commit capital. His talks bring a rare combination: the technical grounding of an engineer and the commercial instincts of a developer.

The Real Cost of Greenfield Sites! Precinct Land Consultants (Quok Ho)
Think buying a greenfield site is the hard part? Think again.
One of the biggest mistakes developers make is assuming that essential infrastructure is already there or that connecting to it will be simple. The reality is that a lack of planning around sewer, stormwater, water, electricity and telecommunications can quickly turn a profitable project into one plagued by unexpected costs, lengthy delays and approval headaches.
It gets even more challenging if you're the first developer in a new precinct. Suddenly, you're not just delivering infrastructure for your own project you could be responsible for extending services that future developments will rely on. If you don't understand your obligations from the outset, you could be facing significant costs that weren't in your feasibility.
At this month's Property Developer Network Meetup, Quok Ho from Precinct Land Consultants will explain how infrastructure is planned, sequenced and delivered in greenfield developments, and why getting it right from day one is critical to the success of your project.
In this practical presentation, you'll discover:
• How infrastructure is planned and installed throughout a greenfield development.
• The additional costs, responsibilities and risks faced by the first developer in a new precinct.
• The differences between extending new infrastructure and connecting to existing services.
• Why infrastructure capacity planning is essential not just for your project, but for future developments.
• How to assess the capacity of sewer, stormwater, water, electricity and telecommunications networks.
• The common mistakes that lead to expensive redesigns, delays and unexpected infrastructure upgrades.
• Which consultants, utility providers and authorities you should engage, and when to bring them into your project.
• How early planning can improve project feasibility, reduce risk and avoid costly surprises.
If you're considering a greenfield development or want to avoid being caught out by hidden infrastructure costs, this presentation will provide practical knowledge that could save you significant time, money and frustration.
Join us and learn how to plan smarter, reduce risk and deliver infrastructure that supports not only your current project, but future growth as well.

'Real Deal' Presentation
Duplex (Susannah Su)
720m2, Blackburn North, Victoria
What happens when you buy at the top of the market... complete the project on time... and still make no profit?
The truth is...
Not every development ends with a big payday.
Sometimes, the most valuable projects are the ones that expose your biggest mistakes before they become even more expensive on your next deal. Too many developers assume the market will keep rising, underestimate how much cash they'll need, or rush into a purchase without completing proper due diligence. When the market turns, those mistakes can quickly wipe out your profit.
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Susannah Su will share the honest story behind one of her most challenging development projects in this month's Real Deal presentation.
After purchasing the site at the highest price on the street, Susannah successfully completed the project on time. But by the time construction was finished, the market had slumped, leaving the project with no profit.
Susannah will share:
• Why buying in a booming market doesn't guarantee a successful outcome
• The importance of having an exit strategy before you buy
• How running short of cash nearly derailed the project
• Why thorough due diligence is critical before committing to any site
• The key lessons she now applies to every development she undertakes
This is a genuine, behind-the-scenes case study. No sugar-coating. No inflated success story. Just the real challenges, costly mistakes, and invaluable lessons that every property developer can learn from.
If you want to avoid the mistakes that catch so many developers out and build a more resilient development business, this is one Real Deal presentation you won't want to miss.
