Brisbane is entering a new era of growth, a Golden Age for developers and owner builders. But while everyone sees the opportunity, few understand how to unlock it fully. That’s where BEDROCK Funding comes in.
Owner builders, once treated as a risk by lenders, are now in high demand, and for good reason. Banks and financiers are recognising what savvy developers have always known: with the right strategy, smaller, hands-on projects can deliver outsized results.
In our latest video, BEDROCK Funding’s Managing Director, Pieter Eksteen, walks through the new landscape, from overcoming funding hurdles to capitalising on Brisbane’s growth nodes.
The Funding Landscape Has Flipped
“The wheel has turned and everybody wants to deal with owner builders,” Pieter explains.
Where owner builders used to hear “no” from banks, they’re now seeing appetite and opportunity. But it’s not just about access to capital. It’s about how that capital is structured.
Brisbane’s Growth Nodes: Where Opportunity Is Concentrated
The city’s Lord Mayor recently signalled a “Golden Age” for Brisbane, with a focus on building higher, not wider.
Key nodes like Chermside, Nundah, and Carindale are set to see relaxed height restrictions, creating new corridors of development potential.
For developers who can move fast, the combination of rising end values, supportive policy, and expert funding guidance is a powerful advantage.
At BEDROCK, funding is never a box-ticking exercise. We stay involved throughout a project, helping clients negotiate:
- Additional loan terms when timelines slip
- Extra funds to cover rising construction costs
- Extensions when delays threaten delivery
As Pieter puts it, “Nobody wants a half-built project, and 99 out of 100 times, lenders can see the value is there.”
Turning Delays Into Advantage
Construction projects are rarely linear. Unforeseen costs, certification bottlenecks, or slowdowns can stall progress. BEDROCK’s approach turns those challenges into opportunities:
- Commissioning late-stage valuations to unlock additional funding
- Working with lenders to release extra capital when end values rise
- Maintaining project momentum so delivery stays on track
The result is simple: developers stay in control, lenders stay confident, and projects reach completion faster.
