RYB Property Network, Melbourne

Know what's coming. Know if you're positioned to win it.

For consultants who'd rather hear about a job from the developer than from a tender portal.

By the time a fee proposal is requested, most of the consultant team has usually been picked. We follow the permits, site sales and funding announcements across Melbourne, work out which jobs will need your discipline and when, and tell you who's making the call and whether anyone in the network knows them.

How it works

Most jobs are decided before the tender.

Public records show what's happening. Members fill in what the records can't, like who's making the appointments, who already knows them and how the last job with that client went.

We pick up the trigger

A permit comes through, a site settles, a rezoning is gazetted or a school upgrade turns up in the state budget. We read the permit registers, Tenders VIC and the property press every day so you don't have to.

We work out the job

What's being built, roughly how big, and when each consultant is likely to be appointed. A tower that already has its permit and builder is a different conversation for a services engineer than for a building surveyor.

We tell you where you stand

Strong, contestable or weak, for your firm on that job. We show why, based on who you know, what you've delivered and who already has the seat. If we don't have enough to go on, we say so.

What members get

One page per job, written for your discipline.

Readable on your phone in the car park before the meeting. The sources are listed at the bottom if you want to check them.

The brief

What happened and what it's likely to become. Who will make the appointment and what they've cared about on past jobs. Which builders and consultants they used last time. What we'd do about it, and by when.

Where you stand

A rating for your firm on each job, with the evidence behind it. It looks at whether you know the people deciding, whether you've done this kind of work, whether you've worked with the likely PM or architect, and whether you'll have people free when the appointment lands.

Alerts

Pick the kinds of jobs, suburbs and sectors you care about, and we'll email you when one comes up. Tell us afterwards whether you went for it and how it ended, and the briefs get better.

Your data

What you share, and what you get back

Every member gets the briefs built from public records. Firms that also share what they know, such as which developers they've worked with or a job they've heard about, see more of what the rest of the network knows. You choose what to share, one type at a time, and you can switch it off.

Nobody sees your contacts

We roll relationships up to the firm. Another member might see that someone in the network knows a developer well. They won't see who, or anything from your contact list or inbox.

Each firm's data is kept separate

Your data is locked off from other members in the database itself, so it can't turn up on someone else's screen by mistake.

Your clients come first

Only share project details you're free to share. If a client agreement says a job stays confidential, it stays with you.

Advice stays on merit

A member advising a client still recommends whoever is best for the job. We won't put a building surveyor forward for design advice on a job they'll certify.

No competitors at the table

There's one firm per discipline in each region, so members aren't bidding against each other. Fees and bids are never shared.

A person reads every brief

Our team checks each brief before you see it, and the sources are listed so you can check them too.

Membership

One firm per discipline in each region.

Members are the consultants who tend to be appointed one after another on the same job: the PM and architect early, then the engineers, planner and QS, then the building surveyor before the permit. There's only one of each in a region, so the firm next to you in the network is someone you'd team with on a job.

We're signing up the first Melbourne members now. They'll help shape how it works and join on founding terms.
