19 – How windows and doors can open up selling opportunities for a property developer

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… Thank you to Joel and the team at Binq Windows and Doors (www.binq.com.au) for showing me around the factory and educating me about why windows and doors can make a big difference to a property development. I have to say they do make some beautiful timber doors and windows, when you stop and notice little things in a house, like nice doors or handles, or the window frames, you begin to appreciate how many little opportunities you have to shape how the home will feel when it is finished.
