Answers to the questions people ask most.

Developer Free Living is a property platform designed to bring project owners, specialist stakeholders, buyers, and investors into one connected environment. The aim is to reduce hidden developer margin, improve transparency, and keep project delivery more accountable from early feasibility through to completion and handover.

Traditional development models often rely on a developer margin being built into the final price. Developer Free Living is designed around a more transparent structure, where project feasibility, stakeholder selection, delivery progress, and buyer activity are managed in one platform with clearer cost visibility and stronger governance.

Developer Free Living is built for several audiences: investors, home buyers, real estate agents, builders, project managers, architects, banks, solicitors, and strata companies. Each group interacts with the platform in a different way depending on its role in the project lifecycle.

No. The platform is investor-friendly, but it is also built for home buyers and for the wider project delivery ecosystem. Buyers can explore projects and properties, request information, apply to purchase, and follow project progress, while stakeholders can bid, collaborate, and manage delivery responsibilities.

Yes. The platform is positioned for the Australian market and is intended to support property projects, buyers, and stakeholders operating within an Australian context.

In general terms, it refers to a delivery model that aims to reduce hidden intermediary margin and bring greater clarity to project costs. Final project economics will always depend on the specific site, scope, approvals, finance, stakeholder pricing, and market conditions.

A project is the wider development environment, including the overall site, approved stakeholders, delivery structure, and available units or properties within it. A property is an individual unit or offering inside that project.

Yes. Public pages allow visitors to explore selected projects, view available properties, and understand the broader Developer Free Living model before signing up.

Yes. Where a public project page is available, you can view the properties currently visible within that project and apply filters such as status, bedrooms, bathrooms, and price.

Not always. Some properties may show estimate pricing while a project is still progressing through approvals and confirmations. Where confirmed pricing is available across a project, that confirmed pricing may be used instead.

Project status indicates the current stage of the development, such as approved, pre-construction, in progress, completed, or sold out. The visible actions available to buyers and stakeholders may change depending on that stage.

Yes. Public project pages may show whether key stakeholder roles have been approved, such as finance support, builder, project manager, architect, solicitor, or other core delivery roles.

A property or project may be unavailable because it is sold, withdrawn, no longer accepting applications, or not open for the action you are trying to take at that stage.

You can create an account through the registration page. Once registered, you can complete your profile and access the parts of the platform relevant to your user type.

Yes. Buyers can request a project information kit where available. This allows you to review project information before deciding whether to move further.

Once you have a buyer account, you can submit an application for an available property through the platform. The application is then reviewed through the project’s workflow.

Yes. Where you are connected to a project through an approved purchase pathway, you can follow project progress, milestones, updates, and key delivery movement within the platform.

The platform is structured for people who value transparency, accountability, and a disciplined project process. Some opportunities may be especially suited to informed investors, while others may also be relevant to home buyers.

Yes. Logged-in users can save projects or units to their favourites, making it easier to return to them later.

Yes. The contact page is the best place to send a general enquiry if you are unsure whether your question relates to a project, property, account, stakeholder role, or platform process.

Where a project has an approved bank or finance partner connected to it, buyers may be able to submit a loan application through the platform as part of the wider purchase pathway.

No. The platform may support a finance workflow, but it does not replace licensed financial advice. Buyers should always seek appropriate professional advice based on their own circumstances.

Loan applications are intended to be reviewed by the approved bank or finance stakeholder connected to the relevant project.

No. A bank being approved on a project does not guarantee any individual borrower will be approved. Each application is still subject to the lender’s own review and lending criteria.

Yes. Public project and property pages may show whether finance support is already in place for that project, helping buyers understand the broader context before taking the next step.

The platform supports real estate agents, builders, project managers, architects or design consultants, banks, solicitors, and strata companies, with each role interacting through its own workflow and responsibilities.

Stakeholders can submit bids for suitable projects and, once approved, participate in the project according to their role. This may include milestone management, file sharing, finance handling, legal contributions, design inputs, or handover obligations.

Yes. Stakeholder access is structured and role-based. Depending on the workflow, accounts may need to be verified or approved before full participation is available.

When a bid is approved, that stakeholder becomes part of the project’s delivery environment for their role. From there, they may gain access to project management tools, files, milestones, or other role-relevant actions.

In general, the platform is structured around one approved stakeholder per core role on a project at a given time, so responsibilities and accountability stay clear.

Strata companies can bid to participate in a project. At the appropriate stage, the approved strata pathway can move to a buyer voting process, where confirmed buyers vote and the highest support determines the winning strata appointment.

Yes. Real estate agents can play an early role in introducing projects into the Developer Free Living environment and supporting project momentum as the commercial and buyer pathway develops.

The platform supports structured project progress through milestones, logs, updates, file sharing, and handover workflows. This helps keep project movement visible and easier to follow across the life of the development.

Milestones are delivery checkpoints created inside a project to help structure responsibilities, progress updates, and completion movement across stakeholders.

Where buyers are connected to a project through the platform, they may be able to view project updates and progress relevant to their involvement.

Handover refers to the closing stage where stakeholders submit required documents and records for review and approval, helping ensure the project is properly closed out rather than loosely finished.

Clear file control helps reduce confusion, improve accountability, and make it easier for the right people to access the right information at the right time during delivery.

Not necessarily. File visibility may be controlled according to role, privacy settings, and project relevance, so that access remains appropriate and structured.

Some actions, such as applying to purchase, requesting project information kits, saving favourites, or accessing project-related workflows, require an account so the platform can manage them properly.

Developer Free Living uses role-based access. Buyers, stakeholders, admins, and guests do not all see the same actions because each part of the platform is tailored to the user’s role and approval status.

Some accounts, especially stakeholder accounts, may go through verification or approval before full access is available. This helps maintain the integrity of the platform’s role-based workflows.

Yes. Once registered, you can continue completing your profile and adding the information required for your role.

If you need help and cannot find the answer in the FAQ, use the contact page and choose the enquiry type that best matches your issue.

Yes. The FAQ is designed to expand as the platform grows, new workflows are introduced, and common questions from buyers, investors, and stakeholders become clearer.
