End-to-end development consulting

We guide investors through every stage of the rooming house development process — so you can remain passive while your asset performs.

Site Acquisition

We identify and evaluate high-yield sites near frequent train stations and active retail precincts across Brisbane's north side — often off-market and below valuation.

DA & Planning

Full development application management, leveraging our deep understanding of Brisbane's planning controls to maximise yields and approval certainty.

Project Management

We manage trusted builder relationships and the full construction process, ensuring quality, timeline, and margin are protected at every stage.

Investment Strategy

Rooming house development is a business, not an investment thesis. We provide clear, numbers-driven strategy tailored to your capital position and goals.

Due Diligence

Rigorous feasibility analysis and site vetting ensures we only pursue projects with strong fundamentals — protecting your capital from the start.

Partner Matching

We match qualified passive investors with the right projects at the right time — vetting both sides to ensure alignment and project success.

What our partners say

"

Michael and the team found an off-market site, managed the DA, and delivered the project while I was completely hands-off. Exactly what a passive investor needs. The numbers exceeded what we modelled.

What sets Chatham Projects apart is the speed and decisiveness. When opportunity appeared, they moved within hours — not days. That's the difference between getting the deal and missing it.

I'd worked with other consultants before but found the market knowledge here was on another level — particularly around which locations actually perform versus which just sound good on paper.
