Australians have long had a love affair with residential property. We have one of the highest rates of homeownership in the world and investing in residential real estate is a popular route to financial security.

In this fascinating, practical book, successful property developer, architect and writer Ron Forlee shows how, through careful planning and development, returns on property investment can be considerably enhanced.

Readers are taken – step by step – from site selection, sourcing development finance, getting advice, working with contractors, councils, consultants and solicitors, costing, monitoring and managing risk, and marketing, to finally selling the improved property. Including tables, checklists and drawings, Australian Residential Property Development offers a huge amount of information evolving from the author’s own education and experience.

Perth-based Ron Forlee established Archiplan in 1986. Over the past twenty-five years he has been involved in all facets of architecture from design to on-site supervision and managing his own property developments in Australia, South Africa and China. He is also the author of the popular book, An Intelligent Guide to Australian Property Development.
