The job

Get to a credible number on every site you see.

Acquisition teams see dozens of sites a month. The bottleneck is feasibility. Popurise removes it: pre-loaded Australian defaults, a structured scheme builder and a full output set, ready before the next EOI closes.

Address to numbers in minutes

Enter the site, scheme assumptions and a few cost inputs. See GRV, TDC, margin and profit on cost immediately.

Australian defaults

Construction rates, statutory contributions, finance and selling costs pre-loaded for Australian residential projects.

Scheme variants in-place

Test a townhouse scheme against a duplex scheme on the same site without rebuilding the model.

Pipeline that holds together

Each site is a project. Each scheme is a scenario. Search, filter and compare across the pipeline.

Source-traced inputs

Add a note to any input recording where the number came from. Auditable from the first pass.

One-page summary

Branded PDF ready to share with the acquisitions principal, land team or capital partner.

When it matters

The moments where speed and rigour decide the deal.

The screening question is rarely whether a site works in isolation. It is whether it works fast enough, against the right comparable, before the agent moves on.

Off-market intro

The vendor wants an indicative number this week. You need to give one without committing the analyst team for three days.

EOI campaign

Twelve sites in market, four worth a proper look. Screening tells you which four.

Broker pitch deck

An agent sends a 40-page IM. You need a quick read on whether the headline numbers stand up.

Internal land bank review

Quarterly review of the land bank. Refresh the feasibility on every site against current rates.

Inputs and outputs

The thin slice of inputs that drives the screening call.

Screening is not a full feasibility. It is the smallest set of inputs that produces a defensible margin and IRR on the site.

Inputs that drive it
  • Address, lot size, zoning and indicative FSR
  • Dwelling count, unit mix and average size
  • Indicative build rate by component
  • Indicative GRV per dwelling and car space
  • Statutory contributions and authority fees
  • Finance terms (LVR, rate, fees)
  • Indicative programme (DA, construction, settlement)
Outputs that matter
  • Profit on cost and development margin
  • Total development cost (TDC) and gross realisation (GRV)
  • Equity IRR at the indicative finance structure
  • Peak debt and peak equity
  • Residual land value at target margin
  • Sensitivity flag: which input is closest to the threshold

From address to call, in four steps

The screening workflow in Popurise.

  1. 01

    Add the site

    Enter address, lot size and a baseline zoning and FSR. Popurise pre-fills what it can from your defaults.

  2. 02

    Size a scheme

    Dwellings, mix, average size, car spaces and levels. The scheme is sized the way a residential project actually is.

  3. 03

    Tune the assumptions

    Override defaults where you have a sharper number. Note your source on the input.

  4. 04

    Decide and route

    Read profit on cost, development margin and equity IRR. Send the one-pager to the acquisitions principal.

Versus the alternative

The screening bottleneck, gone.

Spreadsheet screening

The way it is done now

  • One analyst, one model, one site at a time
  • Half a day per site before you have a number
  • Stale defaults that nobody owns
  • No structured record of which sites you looked at
  • Hard to compare two sites side by side
