The Developer Desk · for SME developers, small RPs and their partners

The development team your business doesn't have.

Six desks and 96 ready-to-use tools, one desk for every department from buying the land to looking after the buyer. Built by professionals, licensed to your company, and connected so the numbers pass from one desk to the next.

One standard, six desks.

The Developer Desk brings a desk for every department together under one roof: the same look, the same licence, and tools that pass their numbers from one desk to the next. The ring in the mark holds all six, in the order a site moves through the business.

All six desks are live now. Buy the desk you need most, or all six with The Full Desk.

Small developers carry the same risks as the majors, without the departments

One person, six jobs

The director who buys the land also runs the tender, chases the approvals and answers the buyer's snagging email.

Spreadsheets that don't talk

The appraisal, the cost plan and the cash flow are retyped from one file to the next, and drift apart.

Funders and partners expect more

Lenders, RPs and councils want the controls and reports a national builder would give them.

One system

The desks pass numbers to each other

Each desk works on its own. Together, the land appraisal becomes the build budget, the build programme sets the sales releases and completions, and nothing is retyped between departments.

Land → CommercialThe residual appraisal sets the budget for the elemental cost plan.

Technical → Land and CommercialThe abnormals register feeds the appraisal and the cost plan before you bid.

Land → BuildThe pre-development programme gives the build programme its start on site date.

Sales → LandThe price list gives the appraisal evidence-based values by house type.

Build → Sales and CustomerThe completion forecast sets plot releases, exchange deadlines and handovers.

Sales and Commercial → Cash flowRevenue forecasts and build spend meet in one cash flow for the funder.
