TENDER OPPORTUNITY FOR MEDIUM SIZED MAIN CONTRACTORS IN AUCKLAND!
Attention Main Contractors in Auckland Xpect Connect is calling for expressions of interest to prequalify for this new build opportunity. Ten Terrace homes in Auckland City (the old council boundaries) starting September 2024.
The project has obtained Building Consent, Engineering Plan Approval and has funding to proceed. The developer with experience in these types of projects has decided to build and hold the product so no presales are required. Please note the public SW work been completed and is not part of this contract.
The developer and their representative has been prequalified by Xpect Connect.
Main contractors register your interest by emailing andrew@xpectproperty.com prior to 5pm Wednesday 13 March.
I will contact you to go through prequalification process. If you prequalify as suitable, and at the developers sole discretion, tenders will be issued by the developers representative direct and due 16 April.
For this development on Mt Wellington, Auckland, I did due diligence, the feaso and was involved in the design and marketing as a development manager.
Strategy:
It’s a live work project with light industrial (warehouse) down below and a 2 beddie apartment up above. Each ‘Duo’ was sold as a package. The initial idea being live above your small business. This concept was exploding north of the harbour bridge -mainly by one developer- but missing elsewhere.
I valued the apartment with comparable sales (plenty of brick and tile units but few apartments anywhere nearby). I ran a rental analysis as well for investors. I got hold of the best small commercial agents in the area to get a cap rate and a commercial rental for the warehouse. No matter how I optimistically ran the numbers and crunched the construction costs the project didn’t stack.
Then my boss had an epiphany -as most big thinking developers do- the punters will pay more for the DUO because they have the option of renting or living above their business and that demands a premium. 1+1=3 so goes the logic.
Anyway, he ended up being right, and with presales the project was bankable and a goer.
Right it’s just about time to enjoy the beautiful Omanu beach. BUT before I do I want to introduce you to a new business. It’s called “Xpect Connect”. Today I will introduce the first of two modules.
Xpect Connect – Project based prequalified procurement for small to medium developers and builders.
Xpect Connect solves procurement hassle and brings prequalified projects and contractors together, with the key value being utilising my experience of effectively doing this for years now in the industry network I have generated.
This is how it works. As the representative/project owner of a new development project you will send Xpect Connect your project details. Xpect Connect then prequalifies you as developer/project manager and also the project itself. If you and your project meets the special criteria I have developed, you will be asked if your “job” is to be posted live.
Upon approval Xpect Connect will post the job in this network, minus your name and confidential details – so you are not contacted directly.
Contractors will be invited to submit their interest, confidentially direct to Xpect Connect. The submissions will be in a standardised format to solicit interested parties that are relevant to the particular project. Xpect Connect will prequalify the contractor using special criteria I have developed in order to see if there is a fit with the project. If there is a fit, after a specified period of time to give others to submit, prequalified contractors will be sent to the project owner.
Xpect Connect charges a one off fee to the project owner of $2,500+GST per successful placement and takes no liability for the contracted work or relationship. The service simply delivers you a shortlist vetted by an industry professional in a structured manner that you can then work with. Subsequent services to continue the procurement can be purchased from Xpect Connect if required, otherwise you are on your own.
If Xpect Connect is of interest I invite you to register direct with me at andrew@xpectproperty.com with “Builder Connect” in the subject line.
