• The problem we solve
Most homeowners find out too late.
If you've been quoted conflicting advice, handed a "free feasibility" that didn't account for contributions and finance costs, or lost weeks to a DA that was never going to get approved — you're not alone.
The Western Sydney development consulting market is full of operators who make money when you build, not when you profit. Altyra was built to fix that. We're an independent pre-construction consultancy, no building arm, no design studio, no kickbacks. Just real numbers, in writing, on time.
Four ways we work with you.
• What we do
01 / Service
Feasibility & Site Analysis
From $2,500+GST · Fixed-fee
Before you commit to anything, know exactly what your block can produce and whether the numbers stack up. Written LMR eligibility check, yield scenarios, GRV, TDC and residual land value.
02 / Service
DA Management
Fixed-fee · weekly updates
Full coordination from concept design through to DA lodgement and determination. We engage and manage your architect, town planner, surveyor and engineering team — fixed fee, no hourly billing.
03 / Service
CDC Fast Track
20–30 business days
Where your site qualifies for complying development, we secure a certificate via a private certifier in 20–30 business days. CDC eligibility is assessed in every feasibility — so you never commit to a pathway blind.
Every engagement is scoped, fixed-fee, and delivered with a weekly Loom update. No hourly billing. No silence. No surprises.
04 / Service
Pre-Construction Management
Approval to slab-pour
From DA or CDC issue through to slab pour. We manage builder tendering, contract negotiation, Construction Certificate coordination and handover to site — so you don't fall through the cracks.
• The problem we solve
Most emerging developers get burned. Not our clients.

How it works
• What we do
01 / Service
Tell us your address
We look at your block, your zoning, and whether recent planning changes mean you can build more than you think.
02
We send a written report — in 48 hours
What you can build, what it's likely worth, what it costs, and the fastest legitimate approval pathway. No jargon, no sales pitch.
03 / Service
You decide, with real numbers
If it stacks up, we can manage the whole approval process for you — fixed fee, weekly updates. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.
A free "feasibility" from a builder usually leaves out contributions, finance costs, or the real approval timeline — because they make money once you commit, not before. We get paid either way, so we tell you the truth before you spend a dollar on design.

Independent. Transparent. Fixed fee.
The most valuable thing a pre-construction consultant can do is tell you not to proceed with a project that doesn't make financial sense. We'd rather lose a client to honesty than lose a client's capital to optimism.
01 / Principle
No builder on our payroll

02 / Principle
Fixed fees. No hourly billing.
Every engagement is scoped and priced upfront. Clients know exactly what they're paying before they sign — and never receive a variation invoice for work that was always part of the project.
03 / Principle
Plain English, every step
A weekly Loom video on every active engagement explaining where things are, what's next, and what we need from you. No technical jargon, no radio silence.
04 / Principle
We say no when we need to
If a project doesn't stack up, we say so — even when it loses us the engagement. Real numbers, real advocacy, real accountability.
Let the results speak for itself
What Homeowners say
A small selection of feedback from landowners, investors and emerging developers we've worked with across Western Sydney.
"Patrick told us the first block didn't stack up. Saved us $400k in lost capital. The second one he ran did — and we're now under construction."
R. Saunders
First-time duplex investor · Quakers Hill
"They knew the LMR Stage 2 reform inside out before most of the planners we'd spoken to had read it. Manor house DA was issued on the timeline they quoted."
Multi-site developer · Cumberland LGA
A. Mehta
"Fixed fee, weekly Loom updates, no surprise invoices. After two bad experiences with design-and-build firms, Altyra felt like a different industry."

Frequently asked
Common questions from landowners.
Short answers to the things developers ask first. The full picture lives in the feasibility report — every block is its own conversation.
-
A written report covering: LMR & CDC eligibility, yield scenarios, indicative GRV based on current comparable sales, fully itemised TDC (build, fees, contributions, finance, contingency), residual land value, and a pathway recommendation (DA or CDC) with reasoning. Plus a 15-minute walkthrough call with Patrick. Turnaround is 48 hours from payment.
-
Often. The most valuable thing a pre-construction consultant can do is tell you not to proceed with a project that doesn't make financial sense. We'd rather lose a client to honesty than build a relationship on a deal that costs them money — and our fee is paid either way, so we have no incentive to push a borderline site through. -
A complying development certificate via a private certifier should issue in 20–30 business days. A full council DA for a duplex in Blacktown LGA currently runs ~128 days median; manor houses can be 90–150+ days. CDC requires strict compliance with all SEPP controls — if your design needs any variation, you'll need a DA. We assess both pathways in the feasibility.
-
No preferred builders, no kickbacks, no referral fees — that's the entire point of how we operate. We do maintain working relationships with around six competing duplex/manor house builders across Western Sydney so we can run competitive tender pricing for your project. You choose, on the numbers.
-
Those are our primary LGAs. We do work on sites all around Sydney — on a case-by-case basis when the site warrants the deeper local research.
-
Standard duplex, dual occupancy, townhouse and other DA pathways may still apply under the existing LEP controls. The feasibility covers all available pathways, not just the LMR scenario — so you finish with the best route, not just the trendy one. -
Yes. Our consultancy work and our own development pipeline are kept separate in how we assess and advise. When we’re engaged as your consultant, our job is to give you the same rigorous, fixed-fee analysis we’d use on our own site — not to steer you toward a deal that suits us. If a site doesn’t stack up for you, we’ll say so, even if we’d have considered it for our own pipeline.
-
Yes. Where a site suits our own investment criteria, Altyra can bring a joint venture or acquisition offer to the table directly, backed by our own development capital — rather than only ever advising a third party. We’ll always tell you upfront which hat we’re wearing.
