Key features of ARGUS Developer
Test the financial viability of your next development project
The days of manually building one-off appraisal models and comparative scenarios are long gone. Developers need an easier way to create pro forma assessments to achieve their projects’ best possible scenario.
With ARGUS Developer, you can build and leverage pro forma templates, set up a project timescale with configurable stages to suit your project, link phases and model phase dependencies, test scenarios for proposed developments, and bring transparency to risks.
Build solid business cases to secure project financing
The return on any investment must outweigh the risk associated with it. Undertaking property development is no different as investors and financial lenders always look for the best option to deliver a successful financial outcome.
With ARGUS Developer, you can quickly model debt and equity to automatically view your cash flows across your project, create unlimited numbers of finance structures across multi-stage projects, and model complex debt and profit distributions, including waterfalls.
Understand the implication of changes to critical project variables
With certainty becoming one of the rarest commodities in the current environment, developers are constantly under immense pressure to deliver their projects on time and budget during turbulent property cycles.
With ARGUS Developer, you can build several development scenarios to find the highest and best use, stress test variables at once to understand the impact on returns, and identify risks and manage projects using tools specifically designed for sensitivity testing.
Manage project costs and ongoing financial risks
As the invoices start to be processed, developers must remain vigilant and review actual costs every month. Understanding how much has been spent compared to how much is left to spend is an essential element of cost control.
With ARGUS Developer, you can monitor KPIs against budget ensuring cost and revenue are kept in scope over timeframes and projects. You can also simplify workflows with your finance and development team to import actuals and refresh forecasts to get an accurate view of your project cash flow.
