How an award-winning builder-developer uses PropCode.

Joey Pamment, a luxury home builder and developer, uses PropCode to check planning rules on 10× as many sites per week as before — moving faster on opportunities in the market.

Before PropCode, I'd spend 70 % or 80 % of my time helping people look for sites. Now that's come all the way down to around 10–15 %, even 20 % maximum.

Joey has greatly reduced his planning research time by using PropCode to —

See planning pathways

Understand CDC and DA potential in seconds to know what works or doesn't.

Focus on good sites

Move faster in acquisition by knowing which sites have the right planning rules.

Get back to building

Spend time on the fun side of the business instead of reading planning documents.

Before PropCode…

Planning research was the obstacle.

  • Scattered planning details. Joey had to piece together information from council websites, zoning platforms, planning portals, architects, town planners, and certifiers.
  • Hard to get the right answers. Even with strong planning knowledge, Joey still had to know exactly what to look for. If he missed a planning rule early, the project could lose time later or become a dead end.
  • Confusion and hesitation. When agents called with off-market sites, it was difficult to get to a confident decision while the opportunity was still fresh.

With PropCode…

Fast planning knowledge becomes the advantage.

  • Answers in one place. PropCode's platform gives Joey a single place to assess CDC and DA pathways, review constraints, and make an informed first-pass decision.
  • Clarity and confidence. It's much easier for Joey to know which sites are worth pursuing, and his negotiations with agents are better informed and thus more favourable.
  • Time better spent. Joey can now check up to 10× as many sites in a week as he used to, so he can get his head back into building.

The workflow

Here's how Joey uses PropCode in his business.

Within a few minutes, Joey is equipped with planning answers to move forward.

PropCode — looking up a site on the map
01

Look up site

Joey enters a site address in PropCode's search bar and confirms the correct property on the map.

PropCode — CDC eligibility by development type
02

See CDC eligibility

Joey instantly checks whether the site has CDC eligibility for different building types — far faster than reading the Codes SEPP, checking dozens of maps, or finding special LEP clauses.

PropCode — Rapid Planning Report for the DA pathway
03

Get a DA report

Joey gets a Rapid Planning Report for the DA pathway with answers from the LEP, DCP, and relevant SEPPs — permissibility and built form controls, highlighting opportunities and limits.

PropCode — asking PropChat a planning question
04

Ask a question

Joey can ask PropChat about a specific planning situation, then use the answer to guide his next step or frame a better question for his planner.

I'll send them the report — the architect and the town planner — and say "It's all checked on PropCode. Can you verify this?" When I sent it to my town planner, she was blown away on the first site.
