FAQ

We turn your vision into a deliverable program. Feasibility, approvals strategy, stakeholder co-ordination, budget control and risk management – through to handover. 

In Queensland, most property development projects require to key approvals:

  • Development Approval (DA)
  • Building Approval (BA)

At EVERETT, we manage this entire process, from DA applications to Building Certification – so you can focus on your investment goals. As architects, real estate agents, and active property investors, we know how to streamline approvals and maximize project value. 

Profit margins in property development vary widely depending on location, project type, and market conditions, but a common benchmark in Australia is aiming for 15–20% of the total development cost.  Below are some examples that influence your project return:

  1. Project Scale & Complexity
    Small projects like duplexes or subdivisions often yield lower margins but require less capital and risk. Larger multi-unit developments can deliver higher profits but involve more approvals and financing.

  2. Land Acquisition & Purchase Price
    Buying well is critical. Securing land below market value or with development potential significantly boosts profitability.

  3. Planning & Design Efficiency
    Smart design and understanding zoning rules can maximize yield (e.g., fitting more units on a site without triggering costly overlays).

  4. Market Timing
    Profitability depends on selling or leasing in a strong market. Delays in approvals or construction can impact returns.

Example:
If your total development cost is $1,000,000, a 20% margin means a target profit of $200,000. Always conduct a feasibility study before committing to ensure the numbers stack up.

At EVERETT, we guide clients through every stage, from DA approvals to leasing, helping you achieve strong returns while minimizing risk. Our combined expertise ensures your project is designed for maximum value.

If you need strategy + develivery, start with a Development Manager. If you have the strategy and need day to day co-ordination, bring in Project Management. EVERETT provides both services and can tailor our delivery scope to your specific needs. 

In Queensland construction contracts, both the Principal’s Representative and Superintendent play essential roles, but with key distinctions. The Principal’s Representative is fully aligned with the Principal, ensuring the project meets business objectives, while superintendent services acts as a neutral party, balancing contract enforcement with impartial assessment of claims. Understanding these differences is crucial for developers, contractors, and project owners to providing fairness and legal compliance and fair project administration.
