Effectively managing a development project is a key skill for any property developer, but what happens when you delegate that responsibility to a development manager? Today’s guest, Bryce Yardney is a development manager with Metropole Property. I spoke with his father, Michael Yardney in episode 36, go back and take a listen to that if you want to know how Michael got his property investment business going. Bryce is responsible for managing around 50 projects for clients so has lots of experience acquiring sites, getting permits and building product. In this conversation we discuss common developing pitfalls to avoid, the foundational principles that will set up a project to succeed, and what happens when your builder goes bankrupt before completion. Lessons for real estate developers Thanks to Bryce for sharing his stories and tips with me. It was interesting for me to hear how paying clients like to be involved with their projects, and some of the challenges that brings up, not unexpected challenges, just issues to be dealt along the way, like everything else to do with a development. Here are three other lessons I took away from my chat with Bryce: 1. Outline the property development process and likely issues to prospective clients If you are thinking of taking on board investors or working on behalf of someone else, it is a good idea to spend time educating them about the likely issues that will be faced, the timelines for getting things done, and other challenges that are bound to come up. I find that completing a project is never a straight line from buy to settle, there’s always lots of twists and turns along the way, so making people aware of that is helpful for when that inevitable curly issue pops up! 2. Don’t get emotional about the finished housing product I can understand how an investor client may want to get deeply involved in choosing finishes, colours, material etc but as a professional developer it is wise not to lose sight of the bigger picture when speccing a property, and that’s coming up with a product that suits the market and sells at a price that allows a sufficient margin for your effort and risk. The product should be suited for the end buyer and user, not necessarily the developer or project sponsor. 3. Have good people on your property development team Bryce mentioned that he has good people helping him manage the projects, and they are skilled at solving problems and getting things done. Having the right people around you will enable you to delegate more effectively and ultimately leverage your time so you can focus on the things that will take your business to the next level. I like to select good people and allow them to take charge and put their skills to work in their area of expertise , on the flip side, don’t be afraid to let people go who aren’t performing! That’s just about all for this episode, if you want to hear from other developers about their journey so far try listening to episode 34 (http://propertydeveloperpodcast.com/2017/07/31/34-experienced-north-american-property-developer-shares-top-tips-for-success/) with architect turned developer Keith Miller, or episode 15 (http://propertydeveloperpodcast.com/2016/06/02/zero-to-40-million-worth-of-property-development-projects-in-five-years/) with Brisbane developer Shane Hiscock.

Scaling a property development business can be challenging due to the financial and process requirements that enable you to start and successfully finish projects. Property developer Shane Hiscock shares how he has grown a business from zero to $40 million worth of projects in just five years. Shane is doing multiple joint-venture type projects with investors, and has gone from doing one new home build project, to now having 20 projects underway. He has learnt a lot about managing partners, setting up joint ventures and the mindset you need to grow a developing business. Books to help real estate developers Shane also shares four books that he thinks will help property developers take their business to the next level. They are: 1. Leveraging the Universe - Mike Dooley 2. Power of the Subconscious Mind - Joseph Murphy 3. E-Squared & E-Cubed - both by Pam Grout 4. Scaling Up - Verne Harnish I think Shane is taking his developing business in a really interesting direction and I’m sure it will be a success. It goes to show how far you can come in 5 or 6 years, if you persist and continue to deliver value for people. Tips for property developers I enjoyed my conversation with Shane, and here’s 3 points that stuck out for me: 1. Take the time to expand your mind I believe it is important that you keep your brain active by continually learning something new. That may be reading a biography, attending a seminar or doing a formal course. It’s a great way to expand your thinking, learn about alternative concepts or just be inspired by what other people have achieved. If you are not improving then you are going backwards, and there is so much awesome stuff to discover in this world. 2. Value your skills, abilities and time Shane talked about the lesson he is learning about valuing his skills and contribution. This is always good to remember, as you need to set how much you think you are worth, and following from my first point about expanding your mind, the more you learn the more value you will be able to bring to the world, and thus charge for your value accordingly. And this also extends to your time, use it well, and hang around with people that you want to emulate, soar with the eagles not forage with the turkeys. 3. Think about ways to better serve your customers by expanding your services I like how Shane is looking to grow his business based on his existing customers needs. This horizontal and vertical expansion is a great method of understanding what your clients may need now but also in the future, and helping them achieve it. Have you ever thought about how you might expand your business offering to service your existing clients? It might be worth jotting down some ideas about how you could, you never know what might come up.
