About us

Started in 2012 as 5 mates trying to help each others projects succeed, Property Developer Network (PDN) is now the largest national networking group for up and coming Property Developers running monthly networking events in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane & Adelaide to assist you on your Property Development journey.

PDN also run online support groups, Facebook communities, formal education & mentoring programs, have access to massive discounts from a ton of suppliers & much much more.

The intent of these monthly events is to bring together the collective experience, thoughts and ideas of like minded individuals to assist each other to achieving our goals in Property Development. Our unique format caters from absolute novices to full time professionals with something to cater for every level of experience.

We have built quite a reputation in helping to kick start peoples Property Development careers, or lift the trajectory for those already on their way. Having seen a number of our members leave their day jobs to transition to full time Property Development, and a hell of a lot more that are well on their way. Having said that, the group is not just for beginners, we have a number of long time developers in the group at the bigger end of town also with everyone able to gain from the collective experience of the group.

Our meetings typically consist 3 distinct sections, an Industry Expert, a Real Deal & finally a Masterminding process.

Our Industry Experts are people that you will need in your property development team, with them giving guidance and advise on the relevant topic of the month. In the past we have had Town Planners, Civil Engineers, Property Lawyers, Accountants, Architects, University Lecturers, Project Managers, Experienced Developers, Property Managers, Financial Planners, Valuers, Council, Surveyors, Commercial Lenders & more. These experts love helping those with a thirst for knowledge and an attitude to succeed and we have been blessed with the quality of these speakers who keep lining up wanting to present at our group.

The Real Deals allow you to learn from projects that others have done within our group. Learn from their experience, successes and mistakes before you do it yourself. You get to see warts and all what went right, what went wrong and the profit that was able to be achieved out to the deal. There is nothing better than seeing the real thing to know that you can do the same for yourself.

We finish with a Mastermind process, with each person able to seek assistance from the collective knowledge of the group in how to overcome any current obstacles. Sometimes your problem might be as simple as not knowing where to start, or how to learn the development process, whilst other times it might be as complex as a specific problem that you are having withing your current deal. Either way, the group is here to help, with all of us moving forward as a result.

OH - And we always kick on socially after the event for a few beverages so please make sure you have plenty of time to hang around and mingle with your peers.

Welcome aboard, and I hope you enjoy the ride.

    INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
    Could Prefab Change Your Next Development? 5North (Ross Stonard)

    Your property development looks profitable. But what happens when construction costs blow out and delays start eating into your profits?

    You’ve found the site. The numbers stack up. But before you finalise your plans, have you considered whether prefabrication could be a smarter way to build?

    The construction method you choose early in the planning stage can have a major impact on your project’s feasibility, design, costs and timeline. Leave it too late, and you could miss opportunities to build more efficiently, reduce on-site work and avoid unnecessary delays.

    Many novice property developers assume traditional building methods are simply part of the process. But what if there was a smarter way to build? What if you could move more of the construction process off-site, reduce the work required on-site and improve the efficiency of your project?

    The way you build can have a significant impact on your construction timeline, costs and overall feasibility. And if you're only considering traditional building methods, could you be overlooking an opportunity to do things differently?

    So, could prefabrication change the way you approach your next development? And can you take advantage of modern manufacturing without sacrificing design flexibility?

    At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Ross Stonard from 5North will explore how innovative prefabrication and advanced manufacturing are changing the way homes are built.

    You’ll gain insights into:
    · How prefabricated building components can help reduce construction time and improve efficiency
    · How wall, floor and ceiling systems are manufactured in a controlled factory environment
    · How robotics and precision manufacturing can improve consistency and quality
    · How prefabrication can work with existing designs and architectural plans, rather than limiting your design options
    · How moving more construction off-site can reduce on-site activity and help streamline the building process
    · What novice property developers should consider when exploring alternative construction methods for their next project

    Most importantly, you'll discover how a different approach to construction could help you build more efficiently, reduce reliance on traditional on-site processes and rethink what's possible for your next development.

    Because successful property development isn't just about finding the right site. It's about finding smarter ways to deliver the project, manage construction and protect your bottom line.

    INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
    1 into 3 Subdivision (Rebecca & Adam Tanton)
    1870 m2, South Australia

    Imagine buying a property in Rural South Australia, securing a great purchase price and seeing an opportunity to create a highly profitable development.

    The plan? Buy well, get the project approved, bring together a quality team of tradies, complete the works and sell at the right time. Sounds straightforward, right?

    But property development doesn’t always go exactly to plan!

    What should have been a relatively straightforward process turned into a test of patience and resilience. Council delays, lost RFI submissions through SAPPA, unexpected approval hurdles and torrential rain during earthworks all added complications along the way.

    And just when things couldn't get any more interesting, a fall through a veranda roof provided a rather unexpected reminder that development comes with risks you don't always see coming!

    So, what went wrong? What went right? How did they navigate the setbacks, and what would they do differently next time?

    At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Rebecca & Adam Tanton will share their Real Deal, taking you behind the scenes of their Strathalbyn project, the decisions, challenges, unexpected setbacks and lessons learned along the way.

    You'll discover:
    • Why buying well is one of the most important decisions you can make when setting up a development for success
    • How timing the market can make a significant difference to your final result
    • The importance of assembling a reliable team of quality trades
    • How council delays and lost RFI submissions through SAPPA can derail your project timeline
    • The unexpected challenges that can arise during earthworks and construction
    • Why having the right strategy and being prepared to adapt is critical when things don't go to plan
    • How they managed to sell at the peak of the market and break the previous Strathalbyn record for land price per square metre

    Because successful property development isn't just about buying well and selling at the right time. It's about navigating the setbacks, making smart decisions and learning from the challenges along the way.

    Push your journey forward and come in-person to network with like-minded Developers!

    See you all soon!
