Every input, every output, in order.

A practical checklist for running a residential development feasibility from site to IC. Print it, work through it, send the result.

1. Site

  • Address, lot size, frontage, configuration
  • Zoning, FSR, height limit, setback rules
  • Allowable GFA
  • Site constraints — easements, heritage, flood, contamination
  • Access to services — power, water, sewer, gas, comms

2. Scheme

  • Number of dwellings and unit mix
  • Average dwelling size by type
  • Car parking provision and structure (basement, podium, surface)
  • Number of levels and basement levels
  • NSA / GFA / BUA — and the conversion ratios you're using

3. Revenue

  • Per-unit pricing by type, supported by recent comparable sales
  • Car space and storage pricing
  • Selling cost rate (1.5–2.5%)
  • GST treatment
  • Settlement profile (when revenue actually lands)

4. Costs

  • Land + acquisition costs (stamp duty, legals)
  • Demolition and site preparation
  • Construction (per m², by component if relevant)
  • Professional fees (typically 7–10% of construction)
  • Statutory contributions and authority fees
  • Marketing and selling
  • Contingency (5–7.5%)

5. Finance

  • Equity contribution (cash + land equity if relevant)
  • Senior debt facility, interest rate, fees
  • Drawdown rules (equity first, debt against progress claims)

6. Outputs

  • GRV and net realisation
  • TDC by line item
  • Profit, profit on cost, development margin
  • Equity IRR (and project IRR if relevant)
  • Peak debt, peak equity
  • LTC and LTV

7. Cashflow

  • Monthly cashflow over the full program
  • Cumulative debt and equity balances
  • Distribution timing

8. Sensitivities

  • ±5% on revenue
  • ±5% on construction cost
  • ±100bps on interest rate
  • 3-month delay on settlement

9. Output for IC

  • One-page summary with the key metrics
  • Sensitivities table
  • Cashflow appendix
  • Source-traced inputs
