In this episode of the Development Tank Podcast, we dive deep into the 5 critical stages of construction that will make or break your project. Whether you’re embarking on a knockdown rebuild, dual occupancy, or multi-townhouse development, understanding the key stages of your build is essential to protect your budget, timeline, and sanity.

From the excitement of slab stage to the pressure points at lockup and fixing, Claire and PK share their experience as development project manager’s of countless residential builds and explain where even seasoned developers lose control and how smart operators stay ahead. We break down what you should be checking at each step, when it’s smartest to intervene, and why making changes at the wrong time could cost you $1000s.

You’ll also learn how evolving contract methods like “Method B” can better align builder incentives with your cashflow, and why private building inspections at specific stages are now a critical piece of a successful handover.

This episode is a must-watch if you want to limit your risk, avoid costly mistakes, and finish your project strong. Whether you’re a first-time builder or scaling up your development portfolio, these insights could save you time, money, and headaches.
