An app that offers an instant and comprehensive overview of properties in South-East Queensland is proving a coup for its developer, Griffith University planning alumnus Alex Steffan.
During his time at Griffith, Alex worked as a student planner at a private consultancy. He launched his own Brisbane-based company, Steffan Town Planning, after graduating in 2008 with a Bachelor of Urban and Environmental Planning.
Starting with a small client base and small projects – “gaining approvals for carports, decks, sheds, conversions and the like,” he says – Alex’s creation of an online property assessment service soon opened the way to broader professional horizons.
The service in question, DevQld, delivered fast summary reports on the provisions, protocols and development potential of properties.
After gaining more than 600 approvals for clients, Alex has now launched PropertEASE, a revolutionary app that details the development potential and requirements of a property with the click of a button.
