The Property Vault Podcast - 048 - A refurb can make or break a deal. How to mitigate risks with Dan Hulbert

In this podcast episode, hosts Dan Hulbert and Amy Rowlinson  talk about how Dan helps property investors in his role as a build consultant. Dan bridges the gap between the build team and the client to help both parties to communicate with one another.   Dan’s mission is to help people get away from the fear and uncertainty of working with build teams. “You think it’s expensive hiring an expert, try hiring an amateur!” Dan walks through an example of a project where he combined his investor’s mindset with his builder’s knowledge to demonstrate  how to add value in a cost-effective way. Not only does Dan help the investor, he works with the build team from a practical  perspective whilst ensuring that all the elements of design and flow are considered acting as the glue to stick it all together.  Dan explains his 5-stage system to ensure investors have certainty and confidence in their build project: Plan, Pricing, Preparation, Procedure and Profit. By getting a build consultant  like Dan involved early in the process even before purchase to view the property properly, investors get early assistance to plan their build, get help with budget and pricing, get all the preparation in place before the build or refurb proceeds and feel supported throughout each of the 7 steps of refurb as detailed in The Property Vault Episode 022.  ABOUT THE HOSTS ABOUT DAN HULBERT Dan Hulbert is a property professional and strategic build partner to property investors with 17 years’ practitioner experience having started on the tools and then built his own portfolio.
