YOUR FEE
Agreed Upfront
A fixed project delivery fee, structured and documented before any capital is deployed. No equity dilution. No performance clawbacks. No variation surprises. You know exactly what engagement costs before we begin.
YOUR OUTCOME

WHY THIS ASSET CLASS. WHY VICTORIA. WHY NOW.
The Numbers Don't Lie. Victoria Has a Housing Crisis. We're Building the Solution and We Can Deliver Yours.
Most developers understand the rooming house opportunity. The demand is structural. The numbers stack. The sector is undersupplied. What stops most projects isn't the why, it's the how. Finding and managing the right team. Navigating planning. Controlling a builder. Coordinating consultants. For every developer who knows a rooming house makes sense, most can't execute it without the right delivery partner.
Victoria is experiencing a structural housing shortage that is not slowing down. For capital partners who want to be part of the solution while building real, recurring income, this is the opportunity.

OF ALL VICTORIANS LIVE ALONE
Single-person households have grown 20% in five years. Demand for quality single-occupancy housing is surging statewide.1
0.05%
REGISTERED AS ROOMING HOUSES
Only 0.05% of all Victorian properties are classified as rooming houses. The gap between demand and supply is enormous.2

RENTALS LOST IN TWELVE MONTHS
Over 10,000 rental properties disappeared from the Victorian market last year as landlords walked away.3
74%
OF ALL HOMES HAVE 3+ BEDROOMS
Yet only 5% of dwellings have one bedroom. Victoria is building the wrong homes for the people who need them.1

Nine tenancies under one roof means nine separate income streams. If one tenant leaves, you collect from the other eight.4
This Is For A Specific Type of Developer or Landowner. That Might Be You
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You own land, a site, or a developable property and want it converted into a high-income rooming house without coordinating the development yourself
You have capital and an identified opportunity but lack the in-house team to execute at institutional standard, you need a single point of delivery accountability
You're a developer, family office, or landowner who values a transparent fee structure over sharing equity in your own project
You want to retain 100% ownership of your rooming house development while accessing a delivery partner with 30+ years of institutional construction experience
You make decisions based on track record, governance, and process, not promises from operators who've never managed a project at scale
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF
You want to share equity in exchange for delivery, that's our Equity Growth Partner model (EGP)
You're looking to lend capital passively into one of our rooming house developments, that's our Income Accelerator (IA)
You want to manage the project yourself and just need a builder or a single consultant
You're still in early research mode and not yet ready to engage a formal delivery partner
You want promises without process, we lead with scoping, feasibility, and governance before any commitment

You Know the Opportunity is Real. The Numbers Stack. But Rooming House Development is Hard to Execute Without the Right Team
Victoria's co-living market is growing faster than the supply of experienced, accountable delivery partners. Most landowners and developers discover this the hard way
And the real cost? It's not just dollars. It's 12 months of your time, a project you believed in, and a market window that closes while you're still coordinating people who were never set up to deliver.
This is why EME exists.
We didn't come from property marketing. We came from institutional construction: $350M+ in delivered projects for organisations like Lend Lease, Vicinity Centres, and La Trobe University.
We apply the same disciplined delivery framework to every rooming house project we touch. Because your capital deserves the same rigour as a $60M retail redevelopment.
Builders who quote compliantly but can't deliver to rooming house standards
Planning approvals that stall, or fail, because the submission wasn't properly prepared
Design teams who don't understand rooming house compliance, yield optimisation, or council appetite
Feasibilities that look sound on paper but unravel when the project hits reality
Fragmented consultants with no single point of accountability — and no one willing to own the outcome
THE EME METHOD™
How Every Project Gets Delivered
Every rooming house development we deliver on behalf of a Project Delivery Partner runs through the same proprietary framework. No shortcuts. No exceptions. This is how we protect your capital and deliver your outcome on time and on budget.
E
Evaluate
Feasibility-first. We conduct rigorous site assessment, financial modelling, and demand validation. If a project doesn't meet our defined return thresholds and risk tolerances, it gets killed, before a single dollar of your capital is at risk.
M
Manage
Construction-grade project management. Builder procurement, cost control, milestone tracking, structured reporting, and risk registers, the same process used on $60M+ institutional retail and education projects.
E
Execute
Disciplined delivery with defined programs and quality gates. The result: completed, compliant, income-ready co-living assets delivered on time, on budget, and ready to generate yield from day one.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU ENGAGE EME AS YOUR PROJECT DELIVERY PARTNER
Site Assessment and Feasibility
Already have a site? We run a full feasibility, financial modelling, planning overlays, demand validation, and yield projections specific to rooming house use. We kill bad projects before they cost you money. No fee engagement before we validate the opportunity together.
Rooming House Design and Documentation
We manage the full design process, from concept through to permit-ready documentation. Every design is optimised for rooming house compliance, tenancy yield, and construction efficiency, not just aesthetics.
Planning Approval Management
We manage the entire council approval process, submissions, information requests, objection management, and VCAT representation if required. You don't attend a single meeting unless you want to.
Builder Procurement and Contract Management
Builder sourcing, tender evaluation, contract negotiation, and appointment, using the same procurement discipline applied to $60M+ institutional builds. Fixed-price contracts. Milestone-linked payments. Cost control throughout.
Full Construction Delivery and Site Management
End-to-end construction oversight, site inspections, quality gates, variation management, and structured progress reporting from sod-turn to practical completion.
Operational Setup and Tenancy Readiness
Your completed rooming house is handed over, ready to earn, compliance signoff, property management briefing, and full operational documentation. Day one income, not day ninety.
Institutional-Grade Reporting Throughout
Monthly milestone updates. Quarterly cost reports. Real-time project dashboard access. You know where your project stands at every stage, without managing any part of it yourself.
