Key Modules for Property Development
Development Appraisal
Revenue estimate (number of units x average price), build cost budget, professional fees, finance costs, and land cost. GDV (Gross Development Value), profit, and return on cost. Sensitivity analysis: what happens if build costs go 10% over? Saved versions for comparison.
Plot and Unit Tracking
Individual plot/unit records: plot number, type, size, specification level, current status (Available/Reserved/Exchanged/Completed), and buyer details. Sales board layout view showing which plots are sold. Completion date tracking by plot.
Sales Pipeline
Buyer CRM with reservation details, exchange deadline, solicitor details, and mortgage status. Automated exchange deadline reminders. Sales coordinator view of all buyers in the pipeline. Revenue recognition as each plot completes.
Construction Programme
Milestone schedule per scheme: groundworks, superstructure, roof, first fix, second fix, landscaping. Actual vs. planned dates. Programme delay flag with reason and revised target. Monthly progress report to lender.
Snagging Management
Per-plot snagging list generated at practical completion. Items categorised by trade. Contractor notified of items to fix. Progress tracked. Client sign-off on completion. Retention release contingent on snagging clearance.
Document Management
Planning drawings, structural calculations, warranties, Building Regulations completion certificate, and Health & Safety file. Document access by scheme and plot. Buyer document pack generated automatically at completion.
