The problem
Our appraisal build costs are a guess, so we either overpay for land or lose sites we should have won.
How the steps join up
It starts when: a site moves to appraisal with a layout, survey and ground information.
Keep the appraisal assumptions library updated from the company's completed schemes
Produce an early build cost budget for a site appraisal
Work out foundation depths for plots near trees
Plan earthworks mass haul: which cut goes to which fill, when, and what is surplus
Track policy costs per scheme and update appraisals when the rules change
Estimate the Building Safety Levy on each scheme
Prepare a first-draft development appraisal
Your team checks and decides at this step.
2 more steps, which a call confirms.
What you end up with: The appraisal carries a build budget drawn from the company's own completed schemes, with earthworks, foundations, inflation, levies and policy costs priced rather than guessed.
Who signs it off: Your commercial director approves the build budget.
What it needs to work
- Cost records from completed schemes
- Topographical survey and site investigation
If those aren’t in place yet, you’ll hear that before anything gets built.
Who it’s for
- Developers and housebuilders
