In-Person: 1:30pm (Brisbane time) to 'Mingle With The Expert' Virtual: 2pm (Brisbane time) **INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:** *Smart Tank Choices Bigger ROI! Concept Engineers (Zac Lemon)* Water Tanks. Smart Choices. Bigger Profits. You’ve found the right site. The numbers work. You’re ready to move. Then reality sets in, stormwater requirements you didn’t expect, space taken up by bulky tank solutions, redesigns that cost time and money, and approvals that start slowing everything down. What looked straightforward suddenly feels more complicated than it should. If you’ve been there, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why understanding stormwater strategy early can make all the difference. The right tank in the right location can save space, reduce costs, simplify approvals, and protect your project margins. In this session, **Zac Lemon** from **Concept Engineers** will walk you through: • Why detention tanks matter early in site planning • Different detention tank types and where each works best • Insitu vs Pre-cast tanks • Under slab detention for maximising developable area • Round and slimline tanks where above ground solutions are acceptable • How tank selection affects layout, yield, cost and buildability • Common mistakes that lead to redesigns and approval issues • How to coordinate detention early with architecture, civil and hydraulics If stormwater, site constraints, or hidden compliance issues have ever slowed one of your projects, this is the session that shows you how to stay ahead. Practical. Relatable. Packed with insights you can apply to your next deal. A session NOT to be missed! **INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:** *1 Into 2 Subdivision (Stefano Casini)* *1012m2, Townsville, Queensland* What Happens When Your Deal Changes Mid-Flight? You find the site. The numbers stack up. The strategy makes sense. Everything looks locked in. Then reality shifts. Construction costs jump post-COVID. Approvals and subdivision start dragging. Finance tightens and buyers can’t get the numbers to work. And suddenly… the deal you thought was solid starts bending in every direction. Do you hold the strategy? Do you pivot mid-project? Or do you accept a lower outcome just to get out clean? Here’s the truth: Most mum and dad developers don’t lose control at the start of a deal… They lose it when the market, costs, and strategy all change at the same time and they don’t adapt fast enough. That’s why you need to hear from Stefano Casini. In this Real Deal session, Stefano will walk you through a project that started as one strategy and finished as another and how adapting at the right time made all the difference. In this session, you’ll discover: • How backing rental growth and yield fundamentals helped the project perform • Why state government changes created opportunity in rooming accommodation • The impact of post-COVID construction price escalation on feasibility • Why the original duplex strategy had to pivot mid-project • How workmanship shortages delayed subdivision timelines • The finance challenges that forced a $50K price adjustment at settlement And most importantly… How to recognise when to pivot a strategy so you don’t fight the market, you work with it. Don’t miss this Real Deal! It’s a real-world example of how flexibility in development can be the difference between profit… and pressure. ***Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!*** See you all soon!
