Ever passed a plot of land and thought - that would make someone else a nice home? Then this is the book that will help you turn that thought into income.

Denis Minns has over 40 years experience in property development both for large corporations and for his own business. He has now distilled that wisdom into a book that sets outs what you need to know to manage residential building projects successfully.

Denis covers, in an approachable, personal style, the whole range of considerations you need to tackle: from finding the right plot and the options for financing your project to working with professionals and marketing the finished development. Along the way he explains the jargon and provides hints on what the planners might look for in your project. An invaluable library of template documents brings his guidance to life, helping you embark on a project with the tools you need close at hand.

The need for new homes is increasing by the day. By sharing his own knowledge, the author hopes many more people will invest in new residential developments as a route to their own future prosperity and for the good of society too.
