Ryan Bultitude · Founder, StrategiQ Advisory and The Elite Builder
The complete blueprint that's only ever been taught one-on-one, now rebuilt as twelve self-paced modules that take you from a project idea to your own Development Implementation Plan. Same build. Your project. Roughly ten times the return.
The real barrier is almost never finance. It's conditioning: an identity built around serving clients, chasing the next job, and saying yes when every signal says no.
This isn't theory. Over five years, Ryan worked almost exclusively with builders making the shift from single dwellings and duplexes to ten-unit townhouses, joint ventures, and interstate deals. The founder and the team at StrategiQ have skin in the game, and the results span both ends of the industry.
James was running a $20M+ building business and sat on his own development site for four years without acting. It took eighteen months of coached “no's” to break the habit of taking one more client project. He now has $50M of his own developments underway.
Jonny is a much smaller builder who was skeptical he could even do it. He raised his own capital, completed a development, and no longer chases client projects. Proof that this isn't reserved for the big end of town.
One client came within a whisker of turning down a major opportunity, simply because nobody had shown him how to read it. His words afterwards: “I had no idea how much was on the table.”
The arm's-length model changes the relationship between your building business and the project. Your building company still earns its competitive margin on the contract, but you stop handing the development profit to someone else.
A $1M client build at a 3–5% margin. All the risk, all the hours, all the phone calls, and someone else keeps the upside.
The same $1M build inside your own $2M development at a 20% return nets around $400K, plus roughly $100K of build margin to your building business.
Build it your way. Your design, your standard, your brief.
Choose your projects and your hours instead of being on call.
Developer margin and builder margin, both landing in your businesses.
Deliberately not a “financial plan”, and deliberately not a static PDF. Everything you enter and everything you learn, assembled into a document you keep working from.
Video lessons filmed with Ryan, released as one complete library. Work in order, at your pace.
One document that grows module by module with your own numbers, not scattered notes.
The same feasibility model used one-on-one, so you can test a real site rather than a theory.
Work out the cash actually required in your deal, and forecast the costs no lender funds.
The arm's-length diagram, the 3x3 structuring matrix, and the JV risk/reward worksheet.
The output: a working, evolving plan you take into your first, or next, development.
Each module has two halves: the education, the concepts and insights; and the execution, your own real numbers that build your own system. Nothing is scattered across notebooks. Every module attaches to the last. Revisit the content anytime.
How the course works, why it's built the way it is, and how to get a real return on the time, energy and money you're investing. Not a random collection of topics. The exact system Ryan uses one-on-one.
The biggest barrier isn't funding or finance. It's conditioning. Two very different builders, one $20M+ business and one just starting out, show why staying stuck has nothing to do with size.
Your building business and your development entity must both stand on their own two feet. Discount one to prop up the other and the development looks infeasible on paper. Your lending and insurance suffer too.
The two sides of the funding coin, servicing and equity, and why development finance is rarely just bank lending. Bank, mid-tier, private and hybrid, and how to get your real numbers right.
Usually the real unlock. Gross realisation value, capitalised interest, and faster progress claims, and why the deal often needs far less cash in it than you'd think.
The costs no lender funds (engineering, design, council, legal, valuation, contingency) mapped into a forecast so nothing lands as a surprise mid-build.
Feasibility isn't a 500-page document. It's getting the macro numbers and the details right: the why, the what, then the how, inside the tool.
Most people develop for the sake of developing without checking there's a market. Know your market, your site utilisation, and your avatar's aesthetic, then choose the product.
Companies, unit trusts, and why a family trust almost never holds a development directly, even though it's the first thing everyone asks. The 3x3 structuring matrix and when each option makes sense.
Risk and reward, debt returns versus equity returns, investor-only and hybrid structures, covered educationally, so you understand what you're being offered and what you're offering.
You're not doing this alone. The core three (a development-focused accountant, buyer's agent and broker) plus the specialists worth having on speed dial. Not generalists.
Everything you've entered and everything you've learned, assembled into your Development Implementation Plan. A working, evolving document, not a static PDF that dies in a drawer.
For years this was a private deep dive with Ryan: a significant fee, a waiting list, and eligibility criteria. Clients were paying $7,000 for the same blueprint delivered one-on-one. The results kept getting better, demand kept growing, and his calendar simply couldn't keep up. So the entire system was rebuilt as a course: the same blueprint, the same tools, and the same path forward without the gatekeeping. No application. No sales call. Just start.

Private clients previously paid $7,000 AUD for the same one-on-one deep dive. Now it's the same blueprint, tools, and plan at the course price.
Roughly the margin you'd make on a single unpaid variation. Against a model built to return ten times a client project.
Yes. The two clearest results we've seen sit at opposite ends: a $20M+ business and a small operator doing a handful of homes a year. The model scales down as cleanly as it scales up; the numbers change, the system doesn't.
That's the most common objection, and it's usually wrong. The private lending module works through gross realisation value and capitalised interest. Most builders finish that module realising the deal needs far less cash in it than they assumed.
It's self-paced and deliberately free of fluffy homework. Every execution task uses numbers from your own business or a real site, so the time you spend is time spent on your plan rather than on coursework.
No. The arm's-length model keeps your building business earning a competitive builder's markup, including on your own developments. Most people transition rather than switch overnight.
It's the same system, module for module. Private clients previously paid $7,000 for the one-on-one deep dive. The course gives you the same blueprint, tools, and plan at $2,497 plus GST. The one-on-ones and group coaching still exist alongside the course for anyone who wants that level of touch.
No. The course is general in nature and educational. It isn't tailored personal advice, it doesn't include offer documents or specific capital-raising guidance, and nothing in it should be taken as a guarantee of returns. Speak to your own advisers about your circumstances.
