Our clients include
An intuitive end-to-end solution for your development projects
ARGUS EstateMaster 'Development Management' allows you to import your approved development feasibility and set this as the original budget for your property development project.
You can then easily track your development budget vs. actual costs, automatically reforecast by importing actuals from any 3rd party accounting software, highlight variances on your KPI dashboards and give your stakeholders a clearer picture on how your property development project is progressing.
Project cash flow forecasting
Gain greater visibility and control over your project’s cash flow
With ARGUS EstateMaster Development Management, you can easily import your Development Feasibility file directly into the Development Management module with all your inputs and preferences and set it as your approved budget.
Drill down into each cost code and view the cost to date and forecast to complete. When updated data becomes available, such as revised sales rates or adjustments to timing, you can adjust the assumptions directly to see the changes to your forecast.
Key benefits of ARGUS EstateMaster
Budget tracking and management
Manage your development project budget and stay on top of costs
With ARGUS EstateMaster Development Management, you can lock down budgets at any stage and report on their variances against the current forecast, including variations to costs, revenues, profit, IRR and other key performance indicators.
Seeing how much you’ve spent compared to how much you got left to spend is an essential element of cost control. Being able to see this through a dynamic and live cash flow, you’ll be able to understand the impact of variances and how best to manage those variances to ensure your project remains profitable.
Sensitivity and probability analysis
Quickly sensitise key project variables to quantify and manage development risk
Easily manage risk as your project moves from feasibility to a live project phase. With built-in sensitivity tools, you can conduct sensitivity testing on outstanding costs and revenues at any point in time during the project to see how the changes will affect all your project performance.
You can also assign probability profiles to your current project to get a risk assessment if there is an increase in project costs or a delay in construction. From there, build an updated probability profile to see how those changes will affect your project performance KPIs.
Integration with third-party accounting systems
Easily connect with third party accounting and property management systems
Minimise the risk of human error and reduce time spent doing manual entries by connecting directly to third-party accounting systems and building a custom chart of accounts and account code mapping.
Import actual costs and revenue transactions every month and have your cash flow automatically reforecast and highlight variances to key performance indicators. You can also generate financial reports, including profit and loss statements, balance sheets and corporate tax forecasting, making it easier to report back to stakeholders.
