Why low supply is pushing up property prices w/ Steve Maroun

We caught up with Steve Maroun from Lanevick, to break down what’s really happening in construction and development right now. Steve comes from a family of builders and has seen firsthand how the industry has shifted post-COVID.

We spoke about rising costs, tighter regulations, and why the so-called “perfect storm” is pushing developers away from high-density projects.

This is a really important episode if you want to understand why property prices keep rising across Australia and why they are likely to continue rising in the next few years.

Steve shared how his business is adapting—moving into boutique and infill developments—and what it will take to solve Australia’s housing crisis. The Lanevick team are currently building and delivering luxury townhouses in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

This one’s grounded, raw, and full of insights from someone still in the trenches.

PS: We’ve in the process of rebranding to Flexdoc, a fresh and exciting new brand, in the coming weeks. We’ll have more to say around the exciting changes. You’ll notice the new brand across social media assets, but nothing changes if you already follow us.
