For commercial real estate (CRE) developers, the availability of accurate, actionable data from previous projects, and the ability to access this data, is hugely important to help inform decisions and ensure the continued success of current and future projects.

In today’s challenging real estate environment, all aspects of operations must ideally run at optimal efficiency. The best way to increase the odds of this happening is the ability to utilize reliable data from past projects to inform proactive decisions for current projects.

Data should help retain focus on both project and finance perspectives

In the CRE development industry, developers are very dependent on project budgeting software. The best solutions in this space should give the project perspective as much attention as the financial perspective. All the software modules or functionality should be project aware, with each module providing the necessary project perspective to complement the general ledger perspective.

Independent perspectives are the key to addressing the real estate developer’s needs and reducing technical debt. In this way, the project perspective permeates the software design, and the developer gets to see the project from the top-down. Since most developers hire a general contractor and subcontractors to implement projects, top-down financial control is more critical than bottom-up details.

Nearly all job costing software emphasizes the subcontractor or general contractor perspective where the detail level drives the reporting. But success in the developer market comes from its ability to go beyond the details and show management top-level project status and the various detail levels that support it. The software solution must address the complete life cycle of a real estate asset: from project inception to project completion, and from pre-development to property management, in order to minimize budget debt and maximize profit, efficiency and client satisfaction.
