The land you already own may be the last asset you ever need to buy. We find it, prove it, approve it, build it and sell it — across Sydney's Northern Beaches and the beachside Central Coast.
Drag to rotate. Figures indicative, based on delivered Northern Beaches projects on a typical 720m² lot.
The maths nobody shows you
A duplex on a block you already own doesn't make you slightly better off. It replaces a decade of income in about eighteen months — and it leaves you with an asset, not just a payslip.
A duplex on the Northern Beaches has typically returned around $1.25m on our projects, a triplex around $1.5m. Move the slider to your own expectation.
Saving your way to the same money would take
At $30k saved a year, you'd get there in 2068.
Before tax on the development profit and before finance costs, which depend on your structure. Development carries real risk and returns are never guaranteed — we'll show you the downside case as well as this one.
LMR Check
Since the NSW Low and Mid-Rise Housing reforms, thousands of ordinary Northern Beaches blocks can legally hold two, three or more homes — and most owners have no idea. Answer four questions.
Indicative only. Based on the non-discretionary standards in Chapter 6 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021 as published. It does not account for heritage items or conservation areas, bushfire-prone land, flood or coastal hazard mapping, tree canopy, easements, slope or site-specific council controls — any of which can change the answer. Confirm your mapped status on the NSW Planning Portal. This is general information, not planning advice.
Different starting points, the same machinery behind them.
You were going to renovate. Before you spend a cent on a kitchen, find out whether the land under the house is worth more as two or three homes — and whether you could keep one and sell the rest, mortgage-free.
The sites worth having rarely reach a listing. Fifteen years of relationships with Northern Beaches agents means we see them first — and we know within an hour whether the numbers work.
We run a live pipeline across Frenchs Forest, Forestville, Balgowlah and Belrose. Capital partners take a position in a specific project with defined terms — and we do the work.

Most people need both, and almost nobody offers both under one roof.
Northern Beaches and beachside Central Coast. We buy where we build, which is why agents call us before they list. Every site is run through a feasibility before you see it, so what reaches you already stacks up.
Planner, arborist, architect, certifier, builder, broker, sales agent — appointed, coordinated and held to dates by one person who answers for the result. You keep your job; we run the project.
The nine steps
Most small developers don't lose money on the build. They lose it on the buy.
Off-market sites through fifteen years of agent relationships and direct approaches to owners — so you're negotiating, not bidding.
LMR status, zoning, width, yield, slope, trees, easements — then a real feasibility. If the margin isn't there we say walk.
Town planner, arborist and architect engaged early on a sharp turnaround, so planning risk is resolved in weeks not months.
Longer settlements, due-diligence and approval conditions, smaller deposits — terms that give the project room before your cash is locked in.
CDC or DA, whichever is genuinely faster for your site — then driven through to approval and on to CC.
A vetted builder on fixed scope and price, secured before settlement, so there's no gap between approval and site start.
Held to milestone dates with trades sequenced. Every week saved is a week of interest you don't pay.
Introductions to brokers who fund small residential development every week — a different animal to a home loan.
The right local agent, the right campaign, the right month. Or keep one and sell the rest — often the better outcome.
Deep in one market, rather than thin across twenty.
Frenchs Forest, Forestville, Belrose, Allambie Heights, Beacon Hill, Dee Why, Brookvale, Manly Vale, Balgowlah, Mona Vale — including all nine mapped LMR centres.
Selective exposure where the entry price is lower and the LMR reforms reach the same coastal town centres — for clients priced out of the Beaches.
I was very nervous before starting, but once the team walked me through the process and answered all my questions, I felt comfortable — their experience really showed. It turned out to be the best decision I've ever made. I made over 3× my salary in profit and will definitely be doing more projects.
Usman Bhayla
I previously invested in buy-and-hold and waited years for capital growth. After speaking with the team I sold those properties and reinvested the equity into a complete subdivision package. I made more money in 2 years from this project than in 10 years of buy-and-hold.
Sagar C
We hired Jagdish and his team to build our dream home. They were easy to deal with and stayed on time and on budget. We were very happy with the process and the end result.

When a project hits the paperwork stage or the fit-out stage, it moves to the team built for it. Same people, same number.
Off-market acquisition, buyer's agency, feasibility, duplex and triplex strategy, and development management through to sale.
You are hereDA to CC to OC, CDC pathways, granny flats and subdivision documentation — prepared so the certifier says yes first time.
