A real-world assessment tool used by The Designory for in-house and client developments
This Property Development Feasibility Calculator is the exact spreadsheet The Designory uses to assess the viability of residential development projects — from dual occupancies and renovations to new builds and small-scale developments.
Built from practical experience (not theory), this tool is designed to help you understand whether a project stacks up before you commit time, capital, or emotion. It brings clarity to complex decisions by breaking a development down into its real components: revenue, acquisition costs, construction, consultants, holding costs, finance, and profit — both before and after finance.
If you’ve ever wondered “Is this site worth pursuing?” or “Where does the money actually go?” — this calculator is for you.
Who this is for
Property developers (new or experienced)
Homeowners considering a dual occupancy or subdivision
Renovators weighing up renovation vs rebuild
Designers, builders, and consultants assessing project viability
Anyone wanting to make informed property decisions
What’s included
One downloadable Excel (.xls) feasibility calculator
Built-in formulas and guidance notes
Flexible structure you can adapt to your project
Designed for Australian residential developments (GST, stamp duty, council costs included)
A clear, professional system for running a transparent, comparable builder tender
The Designory Building Tender Pack is a practical, real-world tool designed to help you run a structured, transparent tender process for your build — without confusion, vague pricing, or missed inclusions.
This is the exact framework we use to communicate clearly with builders, reduce assumptions, and receive tenders that are genuinely comparable. Because when builders are given better information, you get better pricing, fewer surprises, and far clearer decision-making.
INCLUDES:
✔️ Cost Breakdown
✔️ Building Tender Email Template
✔️ Unsuccessful Building Tender Email Template
Why this matters
Most tender processes fail because they rely on assumptions, incomplete information, and inconsistent pricing formats.
This Tender Pack:
removes ambiguity
supports better builder responses
reduces the risk of budget blowouts
empowers you to ask better questions
gives you confidence in your final decision
It’s not about squeezing builders — it’s about clarity and fairness for everyone involved.
Who this is for
Homeowners planning a new build, renovation, or extension
Anyone issuing a tender to multiple builders
Designers or project managers supporting client builds
People who want control, transparency, and confidence in their build costs
