Breaking Ground in 2022? Start your development funding journey now!
June 2021
I always get asked by developers when should I start seeking construction funding for my project? Every time my answer is – As early as possible!
Its never too early to be seeking finance in this current climate and this is why.
Our industry like many others is going thru a COVID related shift. Development professionals (architects, engineers, valuers, QS, lenders) are choosing to work more remotely from home, taking on more work and perhaps not working as efficiently as before. This remote working shift may ultimately become more streamlined as technology and management mindsets change – but we are not there yet.
Currently property industry businesses are finding it hard to onboard and employ additional staff. As demand increases processes and reports are taking longer to finalise. For example lending valuation report timeframes have recently doubled from normally 3-4 weeks to now 6-8 weeks. Some companies are refusing new work as they struggle to keep up.
The bottom line is to expect longer lead-in times to get your project commenced. Try to de-risk all aspects of your project that you have control over. The earlier you start the important process of securing project funding the better off you’ll be. You might not have your DA approved, appointed a selling agent or engaged your preferred builder – it doesn’t matter, its never too early.
