As housing affordability continues to pose a pressing challenge in Australia, a range of solutions are emerging that could provide much-needed relief. It’s vital that developers consider and explore these potential solutions.

As a developer, choosing where to build is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The wrong decision can result in a failed development and a lot of money down the drain and has put many developers out of business.

Hold on tight, because the rollercoaster that is the Australian rental market never stops twisting and turning!

The impact of the pandemic has sent the Australian housing market into a downturn, smashing a 40-year record.

Taking that leap of faith into the property market and buying your first home is exciting, fulfilling, and for many, nerve-wracking.

Australia prides itself on a diverse population made up of numerous cultures, yet this isn’t reflected in the construction industry.

Nearing the end of a developmental stage is undoubtedly exciting. Before signing off on the final build, it is vital to ensure everything is in check before doing the final sign-off.

It’s a wake-up call that sustainability encompasses far more than recycling and taking shorter showers, and those fundamental changes are vital to the ongoing health and longevity of the planet.  

With growing concerns about the environment worldwide, sustainable construction has been a hot topic during recent years. Our rapidly advancing society has had detrimental effects on the planet, and we must keep the environment in mind with building and development projects moving forward.
