From Giraffe Academy

The Digital-First Developer

Feasibility, design, and financial intelligence in the age of AI

This five-session bootcamp is for Australian real estate developers who want to move faster, reduce risk, and use AI to make smarter design and feasibility decisions. When land is scarce, capital is selective, and decision-makers want instant clarity, the old way of spreadsheets, PDFs and siloed teams is too slow.

Learn the Giraffe way and accelerate your feasibility from weeks to hours!

Tools and training built for Australian development teams.

Using a transit-oriented development site as a case study, we’ll show you how to use Giraffe to create your own digital-first feasibility playbook. Connect design directly to financials and go from concept to decision in hours, not weeks.
