Finding opportunities to get an edge in the market and to stand out from the crowd is a great way to sell out your developments, and also to earn a reputation for delivering quality products.



So I speak with Joel Griffs from Binq Windows and Doors about how finishes can make a big difference to your next property development.



Joel contacted me a few weeks back and invited me to come down to their factory and learn about windows and doors. At first I said I wasn’t sure why I, or other developers, would be too interested in windows and doors, but that I would remain open (pun intended) to the idea.



So I visited the Binq factory and had a chat with Joel. I got a lot out of it and I’m sure you will to.



During our conversation we discuss why developer’s don’t focus much attention on windows and doors, how you can get an edge on your competition and why Joel started a manufacturing business in the first place…

I took away a couple of ideas from speaking with Joel including:



1. Explore what other building products may be available to you



Can you try a different type of door or windows, or is there a new flooring product that can give you a better result without increasing the cost. You could try calling manufacturers direct, or contact an industry body for advice on new ways of doing things. Anything that can help you stand out from the crowd will be beneficial as you try to sell your developments.



2. Explore what new construction techniques may be out there



This follows on from the previous point, but have you spoken with your builder or designer about different ways of ...
