There are a few development friendly builders out there who can manage everything down to the letterbox for you. You just have to keep working and supply money
It's up to you, really how involved you want to be. On your Perth time you can do builders appointments, colours/tiles, inspections. OR you can choose not to by employing an interior designer once off to do all the colours stuff and then a building inspector for 2-3 times to make sure everything is AOK.
I've managed to develop with a fulltime job, yes it's easier because I'm local but I still couldn't do much during business hours and restricted to appointments on my RDO. I was working for your Gorgon headoffice
I'm now developing fulltime (as of 5 days ago) with a sideline of mentoring/assisting people develop.
Hi there,
Yeah I guess money will be the underlying factor!!
Thanks for the links I'll definitely look into your threads and get as much info as I can
I'm quite interested in some of the trades involved in the development process as I used to do Roof Carpentry for a couple of years although I feel that it's probably best for me to keep it business orientated and leave it to the pro's - as to not become emotionally attached as such. Which probably suits my current situation a lot better anyway.
Did you find it to be fairly stressful working full time and developing on the side? it's something I'd be very keen to look into after a bit more research.
Oh yes, down in the Murray st office? Also have you ever developed interstate or kept it Perth based?
Regards,
Fraser
