Experienced property developers know how challenging it can be to construct a new townhouse development in Brisbane. The complexity increases even further, especially when dealing with 30 or more townhouses. Effective project management is essential because there are simply so many different factors to consider. Even the smallest mistakes can have disastrous effects on construction budgets and timelines, compromising the integrity of the entire development.
Groove Properties offers an end-to-end service for new build townhomes, and we understand how to make the process hassle-free. Here are the key things you need when building large-scale townhouse developments, and why working with experienced townhouse builders is crucial for success.
End-to-end project management
One of the most important things you can do when building 30+ townhouses is find a building company that offers complete project management. This means handling all aspects of construction, including site preparation, building and development approvals, managing tradespeople, budget control, construction, and keeping the developer informed.
From the initial planning stages to the final handover, Groove Properties manages every aspect of a new townhouse development in Brisbane. By working with an end-to-end project management team, developers get peace of mind that their project is run professionally. Even more importantly, this approach ensures all aspects of construction are aligned with the project goal, with all stakeholders working together for better outcomes.
Expertise with large-scale townhouse developments
Developing over 30 townhouses is a considerable undertaking and one that requires extensive experience. Not all building companies and property developers have the skills and knowledge required to complete large-scale projects. So much of a project’s success is determined during the planning stages, and that’s exactly where experience matters. From identifying cost savings to using a broad network of trusted professionals, experienced townhouse builders streamline the process and save developers money. They also understand the development approval processes, ensuring no issues with councils or other regulatory bodies that can delay construction.
When it comes to construction, there’s also no substitute for experience. Large-scale projects require expert supervision and progress monitoring. The construction budget must be managed effectively throughout. Experienced townhouse builders are skilled at identifying risks, but even better at finding proven solutions. This sort of expertise is invaluable for developers who want a hassle-free townhouse construction experience.
Streamlined approval processes
Most builders are familiar with council regulations for building approvals (BA). However, they don’t all have the knowledge and experience to effectively manage development approvals (DA) for large-scale new build townhomes. Typically, gaining the appropriate approvals requires significant planning, site testing, inspections and other compliance checks. Put simply, the approval process for large developments can be a major hassle for developers without experience in this area.
By working with a team that can build townhouses on a large scale, developers and investors can avoid all of this stress. Groove Properties works closely with local councils and regulatory bodies to ensure we understand all DA requirements before submitting applications. This helps to ensure a streamlined and successful approval process. Without this expertise, developers can go back and forth with councils for months, significantly delaying construction and potentially wasting money.
Maximising your construction budget
If there’s one thing you don’t need on a large-scale townhouse development project, it’s budget blowouts. Big projects have big budgets, but that doesn’t mean there’s a bottomless pit for builders to work with. On the contrary, when dealing with 30+ townhouses, small budgeting mistakes can be amplified 30-fold. Think about it – if you pay too much for roofing materials, you’re paying too much for 30 houses, not just 1.
Experienced townhouse builders can maximise your budget at all stages of the project, particularly during planning and construction. They’re usually experts in identifying cost-saving opportunities and ways to further add value to the project. All this needs to be done while sticking to deadlines too, so it creates a lot of pressure for inexperienced builders.
Groove Properties uses our industry connections and value engineering techniques to deliver cost savings at every stage, stretching construction budgets further.
A skilled network of professionals
It takes many hands and many unique skills to develop townhouses. From labourers to plumbers, builders to electricians and architects to interior designers, there are so many different people involved in large-scale property developments. As a developer, you need to consider whether these tradespeople are trustworthy, reliable, cost-effective and able to work together towards a common goal. But that’s just the start of it.
You also need to manage all of these trades, ensuring availability and monitoring progress. Unless you use builders with experience in construction and project management, of course. The building company you work with should already have a network of highly skilled and trusted trades professionals at their disposal. For example, Groove Properties maintains links with several trusted trade companies and being experts in project management, we also coordinate them all to take that stress away from developers.
Quality assurance and control
In the same way that not all builders are property developers, not all property developers are builders. If builders and investors don’t have a construction background, it can be difficult for them to assess and monitor the quality of work throughout a build. Nor will they necessarily have an in-depth knowledge of Australian construction standards. In that case, you need a building team that handles quality assurance on your behalf.
Experienced townhouse builders should manage your project from start to finish, and that includes conducting regular quality audits and assessments. Regardless of how trusted the tradespeople are, their work must also be monitored for quality control. Always ensure you work with real project management builders who can maintain control over materials and workmanship throughout the development.
