70 - Working through a crisis to achieve property development success

June 10, 2020

Responding to the COVID19 pandemic is testing many property developers, with uncertainty sweeping across property markets. To help you figure out what you should be doing in this strange time to ensure continued success, I am continuing my discussions with past guests about how property developers can best respond to the COVID19 pandemic.

In this episode I speak with Don O’Rorke from billion dollar property company Consolidated Properties Group. Don featured in a great double episode (52 How to build a billion dollar property developing company  and 53 The critical importance of risk mitigation) of the show where we discussed how you build a billion dollar property developing company. It was a great conversation and I highly recommend having a listen if you haven’t already. It was one of my favorite discussions.

This time around we are covering:
- what property developers can do during an unexpected slow down
- what they should avoid
- what Don thinks the next six to 12 months looks like
- whether projects should be delayed
- something Don has learnt in the past few weeks in response to what has been happening
- something new that Don is doing now in response to the changes
- if projects aren’t going to plan, what should you look to correct
- if Don lost everything tomorrow but his knowledge, what would he focus on when making a comeback
- a couple of books, movies and shows that Don has been enjoying
