Intro to Property Development Webinar
Get started in Property Development
Presented by Jim Castagnet, Property Developer

Hi I’m Jim Castagnet, and I’m committed to empowering you with the best knowledge and expertise to grow your wealth through property development.

After almost going broke doing my first project in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney back in 1998, I’ve made it my mission to educate and inspire entrepreneurs to not only avoid the costly mistakes I made, but to thrive and succeed in the world of property development.

I have been developing medium to high-end residential apartment buildings and mixed-use developments for over 20 years and during that time, I have successfully developed & led some $4 billion worth of projects, uncovering exactly what it takes to succeed in Property Development.

Since 2004, I have been educating and inspiring entrepreneurs through my comprehensive property development courses and workshops. I’m also the author of the book ‘Build’ and I have featured as a regular guest on Sky Business and other news media.

PDW was established with one simple goal in mind: Teach people how to do property development from top to bottom.

Over the past 17 years through our courses, seminars and online content we have taught thousands of students how to source, analyse and develop property.

In an industry known for its high barriers to entry and lack of transparency, we have been able to clear the way and provide clarity to those seeking a foot in the door.

Through our proven low risk strategies and unparalleled industry experience, we’ll help you navigate and crack the code of Property Development.

“The past 3 days was one of the greatest learning experiences I have ever had. Much appreciated! I haven’t yet spoken to Jeremy but I personally interested in joining in the Master Class. But before doing that me and Jeremy would like to invite you and your family to a ...”

Ben

“Firstly, I wanted to pass on a big thank you to Jim and the PDW team for providing a fantastic learning experience last week. I’ve already been talking with Councils in my area today and staring to implement the learnings while they’re fresh in my mind.”

Matthew Masci

“Completely overturned my view of property development process and property developers I feel the exercise itself to be very useful. It demonstrated the amount of thought & research that needed to be put in even before you look at property. Valuable experience.”

Galyna

“Having vision to renovate a horror house no one else wanted plus designing/concept, I can appreciate that vision is an essential element in good attractive property. I love this aspect and can see how to apply to projects going forward. ”

Carmel

“Everyone was Excellent. I will recommend to my friends. I learnt more and I can start my dream. I would like to be part of the team and get more information on how to start. Thanks Elie. ”

Elie

“I feel fired up. Ready to start door knocking. The potential profit is unbelievable I never believed how much you can make, if you manage the risk. Excellent tips and advice. Jim shows strong character to succeed against many hurdles and continue to fulfill his dream.”

Anthony

“Thank you very much for a fantastic workshop. It was well structured, informative and very entertaining too. One of the highlights was a real life case study, which showed Jim’s interest in driving a sustainable change – you can see how community can benefit from property ...”

Gene Gor

“I’d say anyone at any level, whatever level they’ve started at, we’ve all benefited tremendously and we’ve all gained significant knowledge. The material Jim has shared with us has left me much better equipped and more confident to hold my own ground and go in with a ...”

Steve Garrigan, Small Business Owner

“What this course is going to enable me to do is have a framework to move forward into actually knowing how to do a development. There were so many little things that I didn’t know, and so many tricks in terms of how to talk to council to get a DA.”

Sanjay Gupta, Physiotherapist

“Right from the beginning I found that Jim had fantastic pearls of wisdom, and lots of value added in terms of the content. I really liked the fact that the course is really quite small, and so you feel like you’re getting really individualized attention.”

Narelle Cosstick, Property Investor

“I think it’s been a brilliant course, it was recommended to me by a friend of mine who did it ten years ago, who has now become incredibly successful. I spoke to him and asked him, how I could learn about all this, and he said the place to go is Jim’s workshop, and I think ...”

Brilliant! When I first attended the introductory seminar I was skeptical. Jim's explanation of the concept and his process soon put me at ease so I attended his 3 day workshop. It was fantastic. The knowledge, wisdom and teachings of Jim and his guest consultants was priceless. At the end of the course you have enough information to start putting it into practice. It's very exciting when you realise, perhaps for the first time in your life, that your success is up to you.read more

It is a great workshop for anyone from any background who is interested in doing either small or large scape property development. The staff are very knowledgeable, have lots of experience, are approachable and are available to answer your questions. During the workshop they introduce you to the team of experts they use in their developments so you can minimise your risk. They take you step by step through the whole process that they have used and found to be the best way to do property developments. Once you have completed the workshop, you then have the opportunity to work together with the team of experts on real project of your choice. I have gone to other workshops and seminars where I have bought lots of books and videos, which I have not had the chance to listen or read any of them. However, this workshop is great as it is hands on and you learn what you need in the workshop. If you are serious about doing property development I highly recommend you investing your time in doing this workshop.read more

An excellent course! Jim is very generous with his knowledge and over the three days he shared many invaluable 'golden nuggets'. It's a great mix of theory (with some great stories) and practical engagement. This course is an absolute must do for anyone interested in property development.read more

I was seriously impressed with the way the 3 day PD workshop was structured and delivered. Jim Castagnet is an extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgeable property developer, and I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing his passion and hearing first hand about his previous developments, and the challenges he endured along the way to succeed. Advice from guest speakers was invaluable and informative. Patricia and Stephan were also extremely pleasant and accomodating to our needs for the duration of the workshop. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone from any background.read more

PDW offers a great introductory course for anyone wanting to get into Property Development. Over the 3 days you get an opportunity to meet and talk with a number of industry experts, as well as receiving lots of practical information and tools. This course has certainly given me the confidence to pursue my ambitions as a property developer.read more

I contacted PDW in relation to a book that I wanted to purchase for a member of my team that was leaving our employ and considering their future career option. The Sales and Marketing Manager Lana was very quick to respond and extremely helpful ensuring I received what I needed within the time frames required. Lana went above and beyond for me showing that they are a company that really cares. Not only did I get the book on time but Lana arranged for this to be signed by the author, Jim who also wrote a note in the book for my member of staff and invited them to the Melbourne seminar as a guest on 16th March. This really was something special! Thank you Lana and Jim, I've not received so much care and attention to something in a long time. All the best Becky.read more

Really well done and practical real advice based on real life examples showing exactly how its done. Ive been to a few property development workshops/seminars with other company's but for me PDW had been the best by far. I would recommend to anyone who wants to undertake property development that this is a course you really need to do.read more

A most enjoyable & informative course. I am very grateful for the knowledge Jim shares & excited to put it into practice!

Jack Hawkins

This course is a real eye-opener for anyone interested in getting into Project development. Jim has been through the ups and downs associated with this and throughout the course gives you not only the information needed to succeed, but where to find it and what consultants you need to achieve it. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to get into the property development sector!read more

Great 3 days - I definitely learnt a lot. Highly recommend the course to anyone that is interested in pursuing property development. Jim and his team make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

Fantastic experience! Great team of people sharing invaluable information. It will transform the way you think about property forever. Highly recommend it!

Thanks for the 3 Day workshop Jim. I came away from the session with knowledge and confidence to start my property development journey.

My husband and I attended a three-day workshop in Sydney. We learned so much from the various industry presenters. At the end of the workshop we felt very confident about becoming involved in a property development project, and when that time comes we will be much better equipped thanks to the learning we gained at the workshop. The company is serious about helping people succeed, and we certainly were made very welcome. If you have any interest in property development you need to do this course!read more

Very nice, concise and simple presentation of what I would regard in my opinion, as a complicated subject with regards to Property Development. Indeed Jim has done a great job presenting the subject with basic framework using the 7 Part mini-series. I have listened to the series two times and will do so again and again. This makes it very appetizing to attend the 3 part seminar, which I am so looking forward to it in November .read more

The 3 day workshop was a great experience full of valuable knowledge provided by Jim and his team. They've cleared up many questions that I had about property development and I'm now armed with the tools I need to work towards my own project. Thank you. Ale guys!read more

This workshop is worth its weight in gold. Jim brings together a team of weathered professionals in the property industry to share their knowledge and stories. The workshop shows you the ropes of the property development process to help you on your way to success and, importantly, it is honest and upfront about the risks and how to deal with them. Highly recommended.read more

Clive Roberts

Extremely insightful, intensive 3 day workshop. Jim and the team more than willing to share the good oil on the property development subject and process. He brings in the experts in their discipline yet is constantly bringing it back and synthesising with his practical experiences. It really is a workshop with constant engagement and practical hands-on sessions. He then offers pathways to undertake a project/s to minimise the risk and maximise the success.read more

Hi , It was a great insight into the mechanics of putting up a property feasibility report. To get an idea about what it takes to create a project was good .

Izaac Trpeski

09:03 17 Oct 19

A well thought out and constructed course for anyone with or without any property developing experience. Jim brings together the pieces of puzzles which for so many seems a vague and unrealistic topic. Your confidence after the full three days is set in concrete to take on any deal large or small from start to completion without the feeling of fear and failure. The only thing left to do is to put the great learnings in practical action and succeed in one of the most lucrative industries in Australia. Thank you again Jim.read more

Shout out to Jim and his team. I am so grateful after so many hurdles in life that I eventually got to do your workshop which I found amazing and you have given me skills that I will have forever. I highly recomand if this is your call than do the PDW. My stems with Jim and his Team go back from the every day he launched his book which I Highly recomand without any doubt to read it. From that time frame I had ups and downs but Jim Team always stood out. PDW is not looking to take your hard earnings, they will guild you to achieve your every best. Let my 2020 chapter be even more than evera.read more

It's worth it. I did the Property Development course with Jim and his company, my experience is this is probably the best in Australia. I have searched and wasted money for proper Property Development courses before for over a decade and I always end up with either someone who does the copy and paste from google, or a consultant who sells a book and declares themselves a Property Developer but has never actually done a Development project before. Jim and his company are not seminar type of people. They teach you from their experience from the development they have been through. They teach you right from the beginning to the end of the Property Development process, and deeply into the core technical part of the Development process. PDW also brings in quality consultants such as Accountants, Solicitors, Architect, Quantity Surveyor etc to explain their part in Property Development. It's an eye opener how important it is to have quality consultants in your team doing the project. No coin or information left unexplained. My advice is, (A) go to the PDW website and listen to the 7 mini series video over and over again on the website. Then (B) Buy the book called "BUILD" written by Jim, it will explain you how the process work, the basics part of the development and prepare you for the 3 day workshop. Then (C) take the 3 day workshop, you will learn the technical, calculation and the secret about successful Property development and how to do it. You walk out after the 3 day course full of knowledge and comfortably ready to do it the following week. You will also be networking with a lot of other developer who are already or going to do a project as well.read more
