Contour 3D (Nick Holden)* If you’ve ever looked at a construction project and thought, “There has to be a faster, cheaper way to build this…” … you’re not alone. For many small to medium property developers, rising construction costs, labour shortages, project delays, and shrinking margins are making development projects harder than ever to deliver profitably. A project can stack up on paper… until builder availability becomes an issue, costs blow out, and timelines stretch months beyond expectations. What makes it worse is that most developers have little visibility into the technologies that are rapidly changing the future of construction. As a result, many developers continue using traditional building methods without understanding what alternatives are emerging… and how they could create a competitive advantage. At our next Property Developer Network Sunday Session, **Nick Holden** from **Contour 3D** will explore one of the biggest innovations the building industry has seen in decades: 3D-printed construction. Nick will cover: • How 3D-printed construction actually works • The technology behind Contour 3D's building systems • The benefits and limitations of 3D-printed homes • How automation is changing construction delivery • The potential impact on costs, labour, and project timelines • What property developers need to know about the future of building This is a fascinating opportunity to get an inside look at the next generation of construction technology and understand how it could reshape the way development projects are delivered. If you want to stay ahead of industry change and understand what's coming next in residential construction, don't miss this session. **INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:** 𝘋𝘶𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘹 (𝘡𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘳 𝘏𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘯) 𝟨𝟢𝟢𝘮𝟤,𝘙𝟤, 𝘙𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 You've found a promising site. The feasibility looks solid. The market is moving in the right direction. Everything appears to be lining up for a successful duplex project. Then reality kicks in. Council approvals take longer than expected. The design process becomes more complicated. Site works cost more than anticipated. Retaining walls, cut and fill, consultant challenges and delays start eating into your timeline and budget. If you've ever experienced unexpected hurdles during a development, you're not alone. That's exactly what 𝗭𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗿 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗻 faced on this 𝗗𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁. The difference? He didn't panic when things became more difficult than expected. He stayed focused on the market, managed the challenges as they arose, and kept his eye firmly on the end result. Despite the setbacks, Zahir successfully navigated the project and achieved a profitable exit. In this session, Zahir will walk you through: • The key challenges that turned a straightforward duplex into a more complex project • Lessons learned from a difficult DA process and extended timelines • The risks of relying too heavily on a single consultant or designer • How underestimated site costs impacted the project and what he'd do differently next time • Why actively monitoring the market helped protect the project's profitability If you're planning a duplex, subdivision or small-scale development, this Real Deal presentation will give you a genuine look at what happens when a project doesn't go exactly as planned and how to successfully work through it. Practical. Honest. Packed with lessons from the real world. ***A session you don’t want to Miss!*** ***Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!*** See you all soon!

Claude Code from Zero to Hero 201: Turn Messy Work Into Smart Workflows

The professionals who get the most out of AI aren't using it as a smarter search engine, they've taught it their workflow.

Claude Code from Zero to Hero 101: Get AI to Handle Your Inbox & Writing

You've probably tried AI before, to rewrite an email, summarise a document, or deal with admin. Sometimes it was impressive. Sometimes it missed the point. Most of the time, you still had to clean it up yourself. Claude Code helps you build a personalised assistant that understands your context, writes closer to your voice, and supports the everyday tasks that quietly drain your time. **What You'll Do** * Set up Claude Code from scratch, no background needed, no subscriptions to sort out beforehand. * Connect a live inbox and have it draft replies in your voice and sign-off style. * Build a 'second brain', a personal context file so it never forgets how you work. * Walk out with emails and documents that are ready to send, not rough drafts to fix. * Learn to stay in control: choosing the right model, safety basics, and confidence to keep using it after tonight. **You'll Walk Out With** * A practical Claude Code assistant setup you can keep building on. * More confidence using AI for real work. * Emails and documents that are closer to ready-to-send, not rough drafts you still need to rescue. **Who This Is For** * Working professionals who want to save time on emails and documents. * Freelancers and consultants who want sharper writing workflows. * Founders and small business owners who want practical AI confidence. * Uni students and early-career professionals who want workplace-ready AI skills. * Anyone who's curious and wants a clear starting point with Claude. * You do not need to be technical. Claude Code is the tool, but the real skill is learning how to think, write and work with AI. **Event Details** **📅 Tuesday 14 July 2026** **🕕 6:00–8:30 PM** **📍 Western Sydney Startup Hub, 5 Fleet Street, North Parramatta** **🎯 Level 101 · Novice · No background needed** **Tickets** **$29 drop-in.

Don't prompt the Solution: Build the Brain

Welcome Back CCX Sydney to our Events for 2026 from myself, Lydia, Sylvia and James and we are planning a bumper selection of speakers for the new year. Our next event on July 21st will be a interactive AI tools workshop facilitated by our very own James Earnshaw and from Faster Zebra Charbel Zeaiter who will both be showing and helping our CCX members move beyond the prompt and start using AI more effectively to deepen Design discovery. As this will be a workshop, will be applying a $10.00 cover charge to cover Food and drinks and on this occasion will be kindly hosted by our new friends at Lorikeet. Details below on the venue location (Surry Hills) **IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THIS SESSION!** **An Important detail is that due to gaining entry to Lorikeet we will need any CCX Member planning to attend this session to supply us with their First and Last name in advance of attending.** On this occasion we will not be able to accept Members who do not supply these details. Many thanks CCX Sydney. PLEASE NOTE Attendees please bring your own Laptops and your favourite AI prompting tools installed ready to use. **About the workshop** AI is often framed as a way to move faster: faster ideas, faster wireframes, faster outputs. But for designers, that may be the least interesting use case. This session explores how AI can be used at the beginning of the design process — during discovery, framing and definition — not to replace design thinking, but to amplify it. Drawing on the Double Diamond, service design and UX discovery practices, we’ll look at how small, deliberate interactions with AI can build a shared “project brain”: a strategic thinking partner that understands the context, constraints, users, assumptions, risks and emerging opportunities. This is not a talk about agents. It is not a demo of one tool. It is a practical exploration of how the skills designers already have — framing, questioning, synthesis, critique and sense-making — become even more valuable when working with AI. Part talk, part workshop, attendees will try a step-by-step discovery flow for themselves and explore how AI can help them stay in the problem space longer before jumping to solutions. About James: James Earnshaw is a UX and product design leader who has spent his career helping teams make sense of complex problems across telecommunications, banking and financial services. With a background in service design, discovery, design systems and enterprise product delivery, James is interested in how strong design process helps teams avoid rushing to the first plausible answer. Recently, he has been using that experience to develop a new way of working with AI — one that leans into the Double Diamond, structured discovery and step-by-step context building to turn AI into a sharper strategic partner, rather than just a faster content generator. About Charbel: With 27+ years across design, tech, education, entrepreneurship, and product, I’ve built things that breathe across four continents. From shop floors to strategy rooms, classrooms to fabric cutting rooms, I’ve helped companies and people shape their vision and make it tangible. Right now, Charbel is focused on: • Neupreneur (coming soon) • Faster Zebra: learning for the new economy • Velvet Onion & Friends: an innovation and product development agency • Febble Flim & Family: fictional worlds that dance too close to the edge of reality And now, I'm bringing these vast experiences to life: Young Founders, The Innovators, XD4.0 & Brand Mavericks: kits and books for mindset-first founders building ventures that open up a world of possibility. If you're to explore something - conventional, unconventional, or completely undefined - I’d love to hear what you’re working on. Good things come to those who make. Therefore don't miss out on a place at our second interactive workshop CCX Sydney event for 2026, as places will be limited for this session.
