Hey, Legends! Welcome to the penultimate episode of The Building Talks Podcast for the How to BE a Property Developer Series! This week, Steve Chandler and I explore the all-important topic of delivery in property development—breaking it down into pre-construction design, risk management, and navigating the construction phase.

In this episode, we dive into:

✅ Delivery as both a design and construction process.
✅ The critical roles architects and engineers play in the development process.
✅ Engaging consultants early and setting up the right contracts.
✅ Understanding different types of building contracts and when to use them.
✅ Smart contract strategies to de-risk projects and manage risk allocation.
✅ Choosing the right builder to ensure seamless delivery.
✅ Shifting your mindset to view costs as investments, not expenses.

Steve shares practical advice on optimising project outcomes, managing risks, and building success—valuable insights for developers at every stage.
