What Debuilt Property does

Debuilt Property is a privately-held Australian development and project consultancy founded in 2014 and headquartered at Level 26/35 Collins Street, Melbourne. The firm provides professional services to three principal client groups: developers and property owners (development strategy, development management, project management, feasibilities), financiers and project investors (due diligence, project monitoring, project recovery and work-outs, risk assessment, PCG representation), and emerging sectors such as medihotels through its wholly-owned division Medi Hotel Solutions. Co-founders Daniel Burger and Paul Abrahams, with a combined 50 years of experience and prior senior roles at Gresham Property, Escor Property, and JGL Investments, lead the firm as primary client-facing directors.

The business operates a professional services revenue model with project-based engagements, offering tiered service levels (Desktop, Standard, Extended) for due diligence and monitoring work. The firm is founder-owned and controlled, with no disclosed external funding, and employs approximately 10 staff across project delivery, communications, and administration. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by the directors' personal networks, supplemented by content marketing via the firm's 'Debuilt Debrief' weekly newsletter and LinkedIn presence. Notable client engagements include Merricks Capital (cumulative $3.2bn in due diligence projects and $2.0bn in monitored projects since 2017), Coles Group Property Developments (Richmond Plaza Shopping Centre divestment), the Liberman family / Digital Harbour Holdings, and hotel developer Richard Doedens.

Debuilt does not operate a technology platform, software product, or AI-driven system; all deliverables are produced through human professional services delivery. The firm holds a recognized track record on flagship Australian projects including the Digital Harbour Docklands precinct (recipient of Australian Institute of Architects and Master Builders of Australia awards). Service delivery extends across multiple Australian states (Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia) from its single Melbourne headquarters, with no international footprint.
