How it works
Seven steps from a site to a decision you can defend
DevPartner is deterministic. The same inputs and the same engine version always produce the same result, and every number on screen can be opened to show the calculation behind it.
- 01
Opportunity intake
Record the site, the decision being made and the acquisition route. Every field is one you state; DevPartner never invents a value or fills a gap with a market default.
Outputs
- Site extent and frontage
- Development type
- Decision and deadline
- 02
Planning and capacity
Apply the planning assumptions that govern the site — FSI/FAR, coverage, setbacks, height and parking — to derive buildable and saleable area.
Outputs
- Permissible built-up area
- Efficiency and saleable area
- Unit capacity
- 03
Development programme
Phase the scheme over time: approvals, construction, sales absorption. Timing is what turns a profitable scheme into an unfinanceable one.
Outputs
- Phase durations
- Absorption profile
- Programme length
- 04
Cost and revenue
Build cost up line by line — land, construction, professional fees, statutory charges, marketing, contingency — and build revenue from your product mix and rates.
Outputs
- Cost build-up
- Gross development value
- Net realisation
- 05
Deal structure
Compare outright purchase against revenue share, area share or a joint venture on the same cost and revenue base, so structures are genuinely comparable.
Outputs
- Structure comparison
- Landowner and developer split
- Effective land cost
- 06
Cash flow and scenarios
Run the programme as a cash flow, then flex the two variables that matter most in a 5×5 sensitivity grid.
Outputs
- Peak funding requirement
- Sensitivity grid
- Scenario comparison
- 07
Decision and versioned report
The engine states pursue, rework, hold or reject against the criteria you set, and freezes an immutable report version tied to that exact calculation run.
Outputs
- Decision with criteria
- Full calculation trace
- Immutable report version
What DevPartner deliberately does not do
- It does not invent market rates, comparables or planning permissions.
- It does not produce a valuation, an audit or investment advice.
- It does not let a language model change a calculated number.
- It does not hide an assumption behind a headline figure.
