Land is a dynamic budgeting and monitoring tool for all your development projects. It not only enables the fast production of detailed cashflows for current and future land opportunities but also allows continually updated forecasts of the final outturn for ongoing projects.
Land is highly configurable to the level of detail you require. It produces both detailed and summary information of the financial and physical attributes of your planned developments with all the criteria for board and funding approval. The system gives fast resolution of land value, or alternatively for a given land value, either profit or sales revenue projections.
Each cost and revenue item is automatically calculated from your own yardstick rates and cashflowed from user-defined 's' curves. This results in an extremely flexible financial model that requires minimal input yet is dynamic and sophisticated. The ability to easily vary any scenario allows you to consider many more options than with manual or spreadsheet systems. In-built goal seeking and iterative capabilities ensure that the optimum solution is found quickly and with high levels of confidence in the results.
Land's facilities can also be utilised for decision support during development to consider replans or other options for the balance of the project taking into account actuals to date.
Cash and other resource requirements are highlighted not only for each project but can be summarised at regional or group level to ensure that finance facilities are not breached and for strategic planning and forecasting.
The system will store and catalogue all opportunities within your land bank, from options through to owned land at each stage of planning and development. Documentation and key dates associated with each land opportunity can be accessed easily to assist with resource planning.
Land can be utilised independently or in conjunction with Build to provide budget detail that is derived from individually procured items e.g. a particular material or a supply and fix subcontractor. This will give increasingly accurate levels of forecasting as and when detailed design and scheduling information is available for each project. Similarly if used with Sales the system will provide updated revenue forecasts based on actual sales progressions and revised sales plans.
Using Land with other modules in this way will ensure that any cost overruns are highlighted at the earliest possible stage and that all cost and revenue projections consistently reflect the latest site position. Any sales/build conflicts are also highlighted for resolution to ensure that your rolling forecasts are realistic and based on all current known information.
