PREFACE

The current real estate development industry is as healthy as it has ever been. Population rates throughout the 21st century have soared placing an increasing demand on the construction of accommodation. In addition to population growth, demographic and household structures have changed resulting in increased demand for certain types of accommodation. Furthermore, investors are now much better educated than their predecessors and many are waking up to the potential of real estate development to give their investment portfolio the edge.

It seems that despite the current health of the industry and the inherent need for the continued development of real estate, there is a distinct lack of literature on real estate development, particularly educational literature for up-and-coming real estate developers.

To satisfy this requirement we have written this comprehensive guide to residential real estate development. It essentially acts as a bible to anyone who is undertaking or is interested in undertaking a residential real estate development project.

While this book has been written about real estate development in Australia, the underlying principles and processes can be transferred and adopted into any free market economy. Entrepreneurial real estate development has no state or national boundaries.
