Work With Your Builder To Buy From China
Have you considered buying building materials from China but just don’t know how to approach the subject with your builder?
You know it could potentially save you tens of thousands of $$$ on your project AND avoid project delays and stress caused by unreliable suppliers… BUT many builders only want to use their usual Australian based suppliers.
I get it… It makes their jobs so much easier as they know the products, the specifications, and the warranty process.
SO – if you want to have the conversation with your builder about importing from China, what are the main elements you need to know about?
This week we have Lindy Chen from ChinaDirect Sourcing who will share:
- Quality control strategies: Ensuring imported materials meet Australian standards.
- Tailored strategies for different project sizes (small developments vs. large-scale projects).
- Supplier verification, pre-shipment inspections, and clear contract terms.
- Import regulations and customs clearance.
- Negotiating clear contracts, avoiding scams and ensuring smooth delivery and quality products.
- The China Buying Trip: How it helps builders visit factories, inspect materials, and build strong supplier relationships.
- Logistics and warehousing strategies.
- Real-world case studies showcasing cost savings and successful imports for a builder with two houses at the same time.
Join us to learn from Lindy why importing from China makes sense for Australian builders and developers and how it could reduce procurement costs by 30-50%!

Arvind Kakade
This was Arvind Kakade’s first property development project, making a long held dream come true for him. He is currently enrolled in the Property Development Formula Program and is searching for a Joint Venture opportunity for his next project.
'Real Deal' Presentation
Duplex
615 m², R2, North Ryde, Ryde Council NSW
Ever thought chatting with your neighbour over the fence could land you a game-changing property deal? It could be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for!
Well, Arvind Kakade did just that!
But here’s the kicker: Arvind landed a great deal, but he faced a series of massive challenges that would have derailed most developers. From pandemic delays, skyrocketing building costs, to financing hurdles, you can imagine the stress.
- What happens when Covid-19 delays halt your project mid-way?
- How do you pivot when construction costs double and your builder bails?
- And, when your architect wants $40k for AutoCAD drawings, what’s your next move?
Arvind didn’t back down. He figured out how to navigate these tough situations and come out on top. He’s going to share exactly how he overcame every obstacle, restructured his deal, and got his development back on track.
Come along to the next Property Developer Network Meetup and learn how YOU can tackle these challenges head-on.
Don’t miss out on this chance to learn from someone who’s been through it all.
